Welcome to My Life in Shades of Blue!

Gabriella Gerbasi January 5, 2023

Gabriella Gerbasi - Ocean child passionate about ocean conservation and sustainability. I’m a waterwoman living life in shades of blue. Whether it’s freediving, spearfishing, scuba diving or boating I try to spend as much time as I can in the water.

The sea is my second home. The ocean is central to my existence, it is where I go to exercise, to explore, to fish and feed myself. For me, the ocean is a source of energy and power. It calms my mind and recharges my body. When I’m in the water, I experience joy and contentment. I delight in the sea, I can taste the life in the water.

The Daily Salt - Get to Know Me Better

Gabriella Gerbasi May 4, 2022

‘‘The Salt Life has always come naturally to one of our newest team members, Gabriella Gerbasi. The French-Canadian native and self-proclaimed “ocean child” has been diving for as long as she can remember. She first became a PADI-certified junior diver at the age of 12, and by 14, Gabriella had a full open-water certification.’’

Join me in the Florida Spearfishing Tournament

Gabriella Gerbasi April 10, 2022

Join me in the @floridaspearfishing tournament. An event that allows people from all over the state of #Florida to compete! Spearfish all the time like you normally do, except now when you get a fish you can enter it to win prizes.

I’ve always felt inspired by the sea women of Jeju and the Ama divers who represent the feminine strength and resilience as a self sufficient sisterhood of diving women, mothers and grandmothers. These women are treated like heroes by the people of their island because they support their families, they fish and harvest what they eat and provide in the most natural way possible.

Ocean - Diving - Sustainability & Living the Salt Life

Gabriella Gerbasi March 16, 2022

I started wearing Salt Life apparel when I first got into spearfishing and needed apparel to protect me from the sun while on my dive adventures and I officially joined the Salt Life team in February 2022.
