Meet Your Instructor: Patricia Veiga
Patricia Veiga was born in Brazil and moved to the USA in 1999. She has a passion for adrenaline sports and everything related to the ocean, including underwater photography, underwater yoga and meditation, and coral nurseries. Watching new students learn and dive for the first time always brings tears to her eyes.
Patricia began diving professionally in 2022. After a breakup, she took a solo trip to Jamaica, fell in love with the ocean, and promised herself she would become a diver. In March, she completed her Dive Master program and decided to invite solo divers to join her group and travel the world diving.
In addition to diving, Patricia is also a skydiver and mountain climber, allowing her to see the world from above. Her love for marine life, corals, photography, and the peace she finds in the ocean led her to create Paradise Divers.
Patricia encourages everyone not to take or touch anything in the ocean and to learn about coral nurseries, her big passion. Planting a coral in the ocean is one of her most rewarding experiences. She loves leaving her "little tree" in every ocean she visits and knowing that someday it will have grown to be 100% bigger. When you learn about corals and understand their importance in our lives, everything changes. Patricia can’t wait to teach you all she knows about corals and, of course, take you to coral nurseries around the world.
Join Patricia on an adventure to laugh, dive, cry, and experience the beauty of the underwater world. She promises to take care of everything, so just come along and live life to the fullest.
