Kiara Monreal
Open Water Instructor
Retail Associate
Kiara has always been fascinated by the incredible creatures living in the ocean. During her open water course in 2018, she completed her checkout dives on the beautiful reefs in Key Largo, FL. From then on, she knew scuba diving would become a significant part of her life. "I chose to be a scuba diver so that I could observe sharks in their natural habitat." Kiara is currently studying to be a marine biologist. She joined the Heroes Dive Center team after completing her divemaster course in October of 2020. Kiara's favorite type of diving is shark diving, she goes at least once a month! She has recently earned dual Bachelor's Degrees from Eckerd College! You can find her either at the shop working on our social media content or leading our shark diving trips to Jupiter, FL.
