The Adventure Couple
With more than 18,000 dives between them, Ridlon & Carin are among the elite of professional divers in the world and self-taught marine naturalists. They met in the Turks & Caicos islands where Carin was a dive instructor and Ridlon a windsurfing and sailing instructor. From that moment forward, they have explored across 120 countries and all 7 continents, mostly underwater.
In addition to their dive expertise, Ridlon is an accomplished high-altitude mountaineer while Carin is an author and the first person to walk solo, unsupported across Cuba. They have lead adventure and cultural trips for top luxury travel brands, including around the world by private jet trips and expedition cruises. They are both members of the prestigious Explorers Club.
