Meg Thompson

Born on Grand Cayman and raised on Little Cayman, Meg return to CCMI is like coming home. Meg has been a certified diver since she was 11, becoming a PADI Dive Instructor at age 18. A middle-school visit to CCMI as a participant of an MEC camp had a lot to do with those choices, introducing her to the world of marine biology and influencing her chosen career path.

Meg has thus far completed two years at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada, in the Marine Biology and Ocean Sciences programme. In Canada, Meg organizes clean-up dives for the community and helped create a woman’s dive club to encourage other women to get in the water. As CCMI’s Marine Education Intern, Meg is eager to work with young Caymanians so they better understand their ocean playground, encouraging them to be advocates for conservation whenever and wherever they can.
