Laura Walton

Laura’s first dive was on the Great Barrier Reef, where fear became fascination at first breath. After that, she dived her way across the South Pacific and around the coast of Scotland. Eventually (and unexpectedly) she became a PADI Instructor. A Psychologist, she explores human behaviour beneath the surface.
