Barbara Burns introduced Sue Sloan whom she met several years ago on a scuba diving trip in Honduras. Sue became an ocean lover and enthusiast after moving to San Luis Obispo over 40 years ago. SCUBA diving became her life’s passion after getting certified in 2005. She has made 100’s of dives off the CA coast and around the world. She earned her Rescue Diver certification and Scientific Research Diver with Reef Check. Sue has filmed and produced two underwater movies, Central Coast rockfish and California Central Coast Kelp Forest. Due to her love of the ocean and desire to keep it healthy, Sue has been involved in several group underwater clean-ups in Morro Bay, Avila and Hawaii where large amounts of trash and debris have been removed and discarded.
Why would anyone want to kayak scuba dive? The coast of San Luis Obispo County is super rugged and there is a great deal of marine life, from seals and sharks to fish and whales and the scuba diving environment is just stunning.
Sue has made over 100 dives with dive buddy and marine biologist, Terry Lilly. She is one of the only female kayak divers on the Central Coast.
Everyone was riveted to the screen as Sue played a movie of a dive she and fellow diver, Terry Lilley took. You can see part of this video at h ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__-ODi7cYLM
