The Philosophy


PHILOSOPHY

Elevated experiences → Fun without friction

Every detail, from logistics to pacing, thoughtfully designed so you’re never worrying about what’s next. When things run smoothly, you relax. That’s when real play and joy emerge.

Ethical encounters → Fun without guilt

We agonize about this stuff, we really do. Each experience is grounded in respect for wildlife, place, and community. Knowing you’re engaging responsibly allows you to enjoy the moment fully.

Qualified leadership → Fun without fear

Experienced, attentive leadership creates trust. When you feel held and safe, you let go. You laugh more, explore deeper, and surprise yourself. That’s where the wild times begin.

Who We Are &  My Background

Who We Are & My Background

WildTide Crew is made up of me, Emily Krakoff, and my local partners & wildlife guides that I work with as equals in building these expeditions.

I come from a background in medical science and research, with experience working for major research institutions such as the Field Museum of Natural History and Emory Medical University and South African Shark Conservancy.

I’m a top-ten U.S. competitive freediver and Master Freediving Instructor with over a decade in the ocean industry, blending science, performance, and exploration in everything I do.

My why

My why

Create the community you want.
I believe in eating well, traveling comfortably, and living wild.


I’m an unapologetically nerdy mermaid, and WildTide Crew is built for people who are too.
