Why Scuba Chrissy?

Christine Geluk is the principal & founder of Librarian At Your Service LLC. Chrissy started scuba diving when she was first certified in oct 2009 so that she could enjoy the joy of scuba diving with her husband. Subsequently, Chrissy and her husband upgraded their certification to advanced open water (AOW); which just means they can dive as deep to 30m (100 ft).

The "art" of scuba diving can have influences in every day life. Chrissy even presented a Pecha Kucha-style presentation at SLA2016 about "scuba", "life" & "work". The 10 lessons were further defined by an article by Andrew Gordon.
