Sarah Ann Wormald (1981-2025) was originally from the UK, where she worked as a solicitor before discovering her lifelong passion for diving. She began her underwater journey in the Red Sea and, in 2007, moved to Indonesia, where she became a dive instructor. This role allowed her to share her love of the ocean and its wonders with others. Beyond teaching, Sarah traveled extensively throughout Indonesia to dive and photograph its extraordinary marine life. Through her work and writing, she sought to promote dive operators who prioritize safety while protecting and preserving coral reefs and their inhabitants. Sarah's legacy lives on through her contributions to the diving community and her dedication to ocean conservation.
