Open Water Scuba Instructor

Malen got her open water certification in 2016 and slowly worked her way up to PADI Instructor in 2025. When she’s not underwater, she’s probably on the water in a dragon boat or outrigger canoe. Prior to working in diving, Malen worked as a virologist for the USG and in the private sector.
