Balash-Webber worked for the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) organization for many years, and became a district course director in 1989. She was one of the first two American women to teach recreational diving in Russia.[2] With her husband, Andre, she owned and ran a diving club on Saint Thomas. They worked together to have moorings installed at dive sites in the United States Virgin Islands to protect the reefs from damage.[2][3]
Andre died in 2014, 54 years old.[4] Pamela died in late 2020, after having fought with scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis for several years. They share an underwater memorial at Andres reef, near Buck Island.[1][2]
