Chelsey UR, Just trying to make a difference for our oceans eventually

Diving at the Coral Restoration Foundation, Key Largo

Hello all my name is Chelsey Callis. I'm 21 years old and i'm in the Environmental Science program at Daytona state for now, but next January I go back to my main college in Key West, where I'm enrolled in the Marine Environmental Technology program. I went there for two semesters before I realized it's not very cheap to live in the keys so I came home to Daytona and am taking a few semesters here because it is 100% cheaper, before I return to finish my degree and graduate. Very confusing. Once I finish my degree I will go on to do an under water welding program and hopefully make a lot of money.

Just a pic I took on 9 Mile Reef in Key West

I've been scuba diving since I was twelve years old and the moment I put on that scuba gear I knew I wanted to be in the water for the rest of my life and do something that involves the water when I grew up . I've been diving all over the place and have probably every certification you can think of. I'm a huge supporter of restoring our reefs. Without them we just wound't survive. I've worked a lot with the coral restoration foundation in Key largo to help grow and replant coral for the reefs in the keys. I honestly hope I can say I made a difference one day in the restoration of the beautiful under sea world. I also have a huge obsession with sharks,I think they're the most amazing animals and I'm that nut job that chases after them when I see them diving. I'd love to work with them one day if I'm ever given the chance. I'm a certified Research Diver as well as a certified advanced Under Water Photographer. Diving is pretty much just my biggest passion in life, its my favorite thing to do.
I'm pretty much obsessed with my 3 dogs, a Dalmation/Pitbull, a Rat Terrier, and a Pug, them along with my boyfriend are my life. I'm a big supporter of rescuing dogs rather then buying them from puppies mills. All of my babies have come from abusive homes and it just feels good to know they are super loved and have great lives now.
I'm a full time babysitter as of right now because it pays good, I babysit my evil 3 year old niece who I love to death almost every single day, and other then that, thats about all there is to know about me.
