Melody

Melody was born and raised right here in Ketchikan. We always love having some local talent here at Snorkel Alaska. She grew up snorkeling in the waters surrounding Ketchikan and performing in the local theater. Melody obtained her PADI Open SCUBA certification three years ago through the local dive shop Wind & Water SCUBA and Charters. She was trained to dive in a Dry Suit, but she’s been snorkeling for as long as she can remember. As a child she used to hate wearing a wetsuit, but was forced to wear one because her mother did not want her to get hyperthermia when she went in the water for long periods of time. She grew used to the wetsuit and now loves how she can go both swimming and snorkeling in the colder weather and waters here in Ketchikan. Melody also offers childcare and pet sitting services in addition to her roles with First City Players. She also studied Welding at the University of Southeast Alaska, Ketchikan. 2026 is Melody’s second season guiding for Snorkel Alaska.
