Rekha

Instructor.

I completed my first diving certification with my dad in 2009 and fell in love with diving instantly. The fish really know where the cool spots to hang are and now I could never imagine a life without it. Now, I get to explore gorgeous destinations, share my passion through teaching and meet cool people along the way? I would say I hit the jackpot with the gypsy team

Rekha recently made the move from Vancouver, Canada to finish her Master’s at UNC Chapel Hill. When she isn’t diving at gypsy, you can usually find her out for a run, practicing her photography, lifting weights, hiking, or checking out cool new thrift stores.

Rekha has been diving professionally since 2016 in Croatia and recently joined the Gypsy Divers team as an instructor in August 2024. Half Indian and half German, she speaks four languages and is all about the outdoors. Her dream is to live in a place where the mountains and the ocean are side by side.
