About Diving With Tally

My name is Tally, and I'm an Army Veteran, scuba instructor, ocean advocate, and lifelong believer in the healing power of the water.

Like many veterans, I discovered that the ocean offers something difficult to find anywhere else—peace. Beneath the surface, the noise of everyday life fades away. The underwater world provides a sense of calm, focus, and perspective that has become an important part of my journey.

Through Diving with Tally, my mission is to share that experience with others while helping protect the incredible marine environments that make it possible.

I am especially passionate about shark and ray conservation. These animals are often misunderstood, yet they play a critical role in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems. Through education, advocacy, and responsible ocean stewardship, I hope to inspire others to see sharks and rays not as creatures to fear, but as species worth protecting.

Conservation is more than a message—it's a commitment.

That's why 25% of all profits from this site are donated directly to organizations working to protect sharks, rays, coral reefs, and marine ecosystems around the world. Every purchase helps support conservation efforts and contributes to a healthier future for our oceans.

Whether you're a diver, ocean lover, conservationist, or someone simply looking to learn more about the underwater world, you're welcome here.

Together, we can explore, educate, inspire, and take action.

Because protecting the ocean isn't someone else's responsibility—it's all of ours.

Dive with purpose. Explore with curiosity. Protect what you love.
