Citizen of the Sea and Mental Health Advocate
Biography
Sometimes taking the road less travelled leads to the greatest discoveries in life, as 25-year-old Maelly “Miley” Fure discovered. An island girl at heart and a true citizen of the sea, she was raised in Corsica and Reunion island, and now lives and works as a Scuba Instructor and professional underwater videographer in Koh Tao, Thailand. Diving runs in the family–Maelly’s mother was a recreational diver. Wise beyond her 25-years, Maelly says, “I believe that deciding on leaving France and pursuing my dream of becoming a diver was the best decision of my life. I can safely say that diving changed and saved my life on so many levels.”
