Back in 2011 Marina started scuba diving owing to her husband, a scuba diving instructor. For two summers they worked at a diving center in the Crimea (Ukraine), assisted in teaching scuba diving in “Delta” – a scuba diving and underwater photography club for children in Kharkiv (Ukraine). After working for 3 years in a fitness club Marina decided to try working with diving tourism. She then learned a lot about the popular trends as well as particular features of Liveaboard services around the world. She enlarged the clientele in diving tours, and developed new business areas (such as kite safari and corporate safari). In 2017 Marina with her husband moved to Dubai. She gained experience in private yacht rentals within the luxury segment.

"However, after working in the world of diving safari, there seemed to be no point in yachts without a divedeck and pleasure cruises without diving. And the opportunity to get back to the favorite activity came in the right time!"
