JEANNA EDGERTON

Jeanna was born and raised in eastern Washington and was certified in December 1989 in Hoodsport, WA.

Fast forward to January 2000 and her love of the ocean was renewed in Cozumel.

She returned to Washington and started diving cold water again, frequently.

She completed her NAUI IDC in January 2004 and immediately started teaching very actively.  She was invited to the UTD 2008 IDC / Crossover and is a UTD Technical Instructor.

Jeanna has a passion for the ocean and its inhabitants and loves introducing others to the wonders underwater.  She stresses the need to minimize impact on the ocean environment in her classes.  She was a volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium for 6 years and has since trained the Seattle Aquarium Dive Team, helping them incorporate team diving procedures into their field dives, as well as introducing them to extended ranges with DPV 1 and Tech 1.

She has also trained Renton Fire Department's Water Rescue Team.

She has a true love for exploration, particularly the cave systems in Mexico.  She was the camera operator on the Sac Actun team when Dos Ojos was connected to Sac Actun, making the largest underwater cave system in the world.
