Elma Tarr

Elma Tarr is the Scuba Gear Brand Manager at Bluewater Photo and an IDC Staff Instructor with over 3,500 dives to her name. Her passion for the underwater world began over 21 years ago, and she has since turned that passion into a thriving profession.

Elma’s interest in dive gear was sparked by a key insight early in her teaching career: one of the biggest obstacles for new divers was often improperly fitting equipment. This realization drove her to deepen her expertise in gear selection, fit, and performance, making her a trusted resource for divers of all levels.

An avid traveler and underwater photographer, Elma has explored dive sites across the globe, with a special love for macro photography. Her blend of field experience, technical knowledge, and customer-first mindset makes her an invaluable part of the Bluewater Photo team.
