Their Story
Katie Sandidge belongs in Ocean People because she reflects the crew side of diving that can quietly shape the feel of a whole trip. Her connection to Sam's story comes through Pura Vida Divers and the shark-diving support that helps adventurous days in the water feel well organised.
What stood out was how close her work sits to the operational side of a dive day: preparation, team awareness, and making sure the experience around the water feels calm enough for people to focus on the moment itself. Katie represents the kind of support that matters enormously even when it is not always the most visible part of the dive.
