Meet Patricia Mauldin – Get to know her!

Patricia moved to South Florida as a teenager, raised her son Dominic there, and never plans to live anywhere else. “We live where most people vacation,” she says, “and we are lucky to have such diverse scuba diving at our fingertips.”

Years in operations and customer service taught her how to learn whatever the day throws at her and turn it into help for someone else. On the ZooKeeper team, that shows up as the work behind the work: logistics, coordination, website upkeep, and the social channels that keep the community connected. Her dream job, she says, is anything that puts her in vacation dive destinations and lets her share the experience with other people.

She and Tim have been together for 15 adventurous years. They met at a hockey game and still love travel, diving, sporting events, concerts, and their dog, Coral Robinson. When they are not on the road, Patricia is usually in the water close to home, and she is quick to invite someone along to hunt.

She started diving later than most, in 2019, after working through anxiety and equalization issues. A year and a half later she earned her Divemaster certification and has barely stayed out of the ocean since. Scuba and reef conservation are not a hobby for her. They are part of how she spends her days, from local hunts to the events and campaigns on lionfishzk.com.
