About Us

Aloha, I'm Francesca

Born and raised in Italy, I'm a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT), ocean lover and scuba enthusiast, and I call Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, home.

I have a bachelor's degree in Languages, Communication and Media, but my passion led me underwater: I became a Divemaster in 2017 and an instructor in 2019. Since then, diving has been my world. It has taken me places, for work and on vacation, and I've worked in Lampedusa, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, Egypt and the Maldives.

I love drift dives and walls, but I'm just as happy moving slowly along a reef, looking for octopus, nudibranchs and all the small sea critters. For me, diving is more than a hobby: it's a way to connect with nature, explore the world and share my love for the ocean.

People who dive with me tell me they appreciate my patience and my genuine passion for the ocean and for diving.

Happy Bubbles is about personal, relaxed, unforgettable dives where you're never just another diver on the boat. You're my guest, and every adventure is built around you.

Dive with me

On Oʻahu I teach PADI courses and guide private boat dives in small groups. You pick the date online, and I confirm it by email within 24 hours. See dives and courses on Oʻahu.

I also plan tailor-made dive trips around the world, and small-group trips I lead in person are coming soon.
