Cathryn Castle Whitman, Editor

It's no surprise to anyone who knows her that Dive Training's editor has recently been inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame. Cathryn holds instructor ratings from NAUI, PADI, SDI/TDI and DAN. She has a United States Coast Guard 100-ton master captain's license and is medically qualified as an EMT and hyperbaric chamber tender. Prior to joining Dive Training, her occupations have included co-owner of Dive In (St. Thomas), scuba instructor, boat captain, yacht crewmember, EMT, photojournalist, sales associate for Uwatec USA and underwater model. Cathryn has held the position of editor since 1997. For the past ten years, she has taken Dive Training from a relatively new publication to what it is today: the premier consumer dive magazine that is recognized and valued throughout the dive industry. In addition, Cathryn owns Good Fortune Farms in Oregon where she raises alpacas.
