NextGen Legacy Class - 2025
2025 Trainees
Flora Gläßer: An environmental activist that utilises freediving and social media for river clean ups, Flora wants to extend her bottom time with technical diving, for longer clean ups and mesophotic reef research.
Lara Indra: A forensic anthropologist who also works with the CSI, Lara aims to get technical and DPV certified to eventually lead recovery expeditions for WWII fatality research and the police. Welcome back Lara :)
Lea Wowra: At the intersection of marine / social / natural sciences, Lea wishes to use her skillsets as a published author and journalism to craft ocean stories.
Andrea Wilson: From re-learning how to swim in the South Bronx to becoming a chemical engineer, Andrea aims to become a GUE instructor, and inspire others in disadvantages communities through videography and science communication.
Paige Strudwick: Living next to the GBR, Paige works as a coral post-doc, but her goal is to participate in research expeditions at deeper depths and colder waters - and to be confident on camera!
Lucie Studená: A van-life nomadic data scientist, Lucie currently explores and maps European dry caves up to 800m below the surface. She wishes become a Cave 2 / sidemount diver one day - merging her interests in outdoor activities, diving and biological research.
Timothy “Ian” Anderson: Intersecting biophysics and medicine, Ian is a former US Navy diver and aspiring doctor, aiming to find a link between oxygen therapy and brain injuries, as well as showcasing paths for other subsea and expedition veterens.
Abby Henderson: Both an aquarist and scientific field diver in the Oregon Coast aquarium, Abby's goals are plentiful: become confident with twinsets and canister lights, learn about project planning and establish a Project Baseline Orgeon from inception.
