Meet the team.

My goal as your instructor is to help your dives feel easy and relaxed, but also push your limits. Safety is a byproduct of the education you'll receive, and I am stoked to deliver the training needed to meet your goals!

Aloha! I’m Elle. Funny enough, I grew up in a desert. But that never stopped me from finding the water and somewhere to dive. Diving since I was 12 years old and swimming before I could walk, my life has always revolved around the water.

I moved to Hawaii in 2019 to finish college, earning a bachelors degree in Exercise Science. While finishing my degree, I pursued my passion of freediving, which eventually lead to where we are now- Sunken!

As an instructor for the Molchanovs freediving agency and training all around the world, I have come to know and love freediving with everything I have. You gain a self discipline and tap into another realm of existence impossible to find anywhere else other than deep in the ocean. Besides freediving itself, teaching and sharing it is my favorite thing in the world.

Aloha! I’m Kiley. I was born down the road in Kahuku, and spent most of my childhood years moving around. Regardless of where I lived, water has always been a big part of my life.

It connects me to who I am and brings me peace. Because I was so drawn to the water when I was young, swimming quickly became very important to me. I joined swim team when I was young, then became a lifeguard and swim instructor as soon as I could.

I love the water and believe swimming is not only a life skill, but also a beautiful way we can connect to ourselves and the earth. I am so excited to help teach the children in our community to be confident in the water and develop a relationship with the water that is rooted in safety, respect, and fun!
