Women are of the Ocean, and we will Rise to the Occasion

The Modern Female Diver

Gone are the days when men rule the ocean. With the growing demographics of women in scuba, an evolution is taking place in the diving industry, leading to new and exciting pathways for females in this discipline. Thanks to many empowering movements, significant changes are happening, and this comes during a time where diversity is needed to craft and shape the future of our sport. Having been a recreational female scuba diver for over ten years, even I have seen a shift in the involvement and a shift in perception towards women. Check out some of the positive impacts that have taken shape for female scuba divers over the years:

1. Growing Dive Role Models
Because of the growing popularity of scuba diving and its female fan base, so too are the number of women role models. There is a whole slew of influential female stars in the spotlight. Take Jill Heinerth one of the top female cave divers in the world or Becky Kagan Schott an Emmy Award-winning underwater cinematographer and photographer for example.
And let’s not forget arguably one of the most celebrated women in diving of all time – the mother of the ocean herself – Sylvia Earle.

2. Female Equipment and Gear
Don’t get me wrong as a woman it’s still sometimes a battle to find properly fitting equipment, but compared to several years ago the sizing and choices for women have made so much positive progress! Take a look at all this colorful equipment geared towards females. It’s fun, it flashy and it’s eye captivating for any young girl hoping to one day take to the sea. We look forward to seeing what dive products manufacturers will have in store for women in the future!

3. Technology and Social Media
As with everything else, technology and social media have begun to transform the diving industry over the past decade, giving us new ways to experience the sport and encouraging more girls to give diving a try. Take The Marine Diaries, for instance, a non-for-profit network predominantly run by women sharing their passion for the underwater world through photography, diving and science. This group has close to 20,000 members and aims at educating and engaging the general population on ocean science.

4. Women’s Dive Day
Girl power is a mantra that takes many different shapes and forms. In the scuba diving industry, this mantra comes to life on a designated Saturday in mid-July when dive shops all over the world celebrate women and diving. This important day has become a success with ladies all over the world. Since the first Women’s Dive Day back in 2014 there has been a 2.2% increase in females getting a PADI recreational diving certification. PADI Women’s International Dive Day

The Female Future of the Sport
As time pushes on, the amount of women learning to dive is moving forward in leaps and bounds, but there is still much progress to be made. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) 68% of all scuba diving participants remain male, and these numbers pale when looking at professional divers. If we want our dive industry to continue to grow and thrive, we need to help everybody move past the token representation of women. Perhaps this, in turn, will flow beyond the tidelines of our ocean and may eventually shape the world outside the sport we all know and love. Ali Giving The Ok Scuba Sign In The Water

A Closing Thought for all you Scuba Girls
As a closing thought for all you women who have struggled through trials and tribulations while trying to succeed in the scuba diving world – you are not alone. Don’t get discouraged and don’t give up. We are stronger and more resilient than we think. Every time you hit the water, feel empowered because you know what – making it in the scuba diving industry was harder for us than men will ever understand.
