Lisa’s Diving Experience

We were founded in 2021 by Lisa Malachowsky. Furthermore, Lisa learned to dive in 1986 and became a PADI assistant scuba instructor in 1994. She has worked as a professional divemaster, logging over a thousand non-training dives. For example, she has explored locations like Indonesia, Fiji, and the Philippines. Also, she considers herself an unsung pioneer of early Indonesian diving. Since 1997, Lisa has been diving in Indonesia, during which most dives were exploratory. In fact, she did a liveaboard trip with Mike Severns to chart new dive sites. We hope to revisit some of those sites in 2024.

Motorcycling Beginnings

Lisa was 12 years old when her father taught her how to operate the clutch on a motorcycle. She’s been riding ever since. Having developed a passion for long-distance touring she has ridden untold miles in many countries, on multiple continents. Her career in the motorcycle industry includes positions at major dealerships managing finance, parts, and service departments as well as being a general manager, and working for multiple parts and accessories companies. Lisa is a long-standing member of the American Motorcyclist Association, the BMW Riders Association, and Women on Wheels. She has trained at the BMW Performance Center and with Jimmy Lewis in the US and Jo Rust in South Africa

Writing and Instruction

Her writings on motorcycling have appeared in American Motorcyclist, the magazine of the AMA; On the Level, the magazine of the BMW Riders Association; and BMW Owners News, the magazine of the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association. She is also a Total Control Training motorcycle safety instructor and an Accident Scene Management lead instructor.
