Madalyn "Moose" Mussey

Founder & Trip Leader

Moose is a natural resource conservationist who grew up in the Midwest, far from the ocean. After graduating with a degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, emphasis in Natural Resource Management, she moved to the Florida Keys and spent nearly six years working with Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF). Through REEF, Moose connected people with the ocean through education, citizen science, field trips, and public programs that encouraged the community to get in the water and explore. She became passionate about showing others that the underwater world is for everyone. Creatively inclined, she blends painting, digital art, and hands-on crafts with her love of diving to share the ocean’s overlooked wonders. When she’s not diving or teaching about fish, you’ll find her chasing adventures - whether that’s roller derby, backpacking, rugby, birding, rodeo, or anything that pushes her outside her comfort zone.

Amy Lee

Founder & Trip Leader

Amy is a marine scientist and science communicator who fell in love with the ocean as a child in landlocked Pennsylvania. After earning degrees in marine science and public relations, she moved to the Florida Keys, where she spent over a decade with Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), leading citizen science dive trips and overseeing communications to support marine conservation initiatives. Amy’s work is motivated by a genuine obsession with fish - their behaviors, their habitats, and what they can teach us about the health of the ocean. Her curiosity and love of exploration eventually led her to technical and rebreather diving, driven by the access it offers to deeper species and ecosystems that most divers never get to see. When she's not underwater or planning the next amazing Blue Blenny expedition, you can find her at a Pilates or barre class or absorbed in her latest book.
