Scuba IS for girls!

"Underwater diving, as a human activity, is the practice of descending below the water's surface to interact with the environment. It is also often referred to as diving, an ambiguous term with several possible meanings, depending on context."

Why women should go scuba diving

As the gap between male and female scuba divers’ tightens with 32% of the diving industry now made up of female divers, instructors, photographers, conservationists and even those who catalog shipwrecks—it has been amazing to see women come together as an ever-expanding community of underwater lovers.

but why?

First and foremost, scuba diving is empowering. Not only does diving push you out of your comfort zone (for most of us, it takes a certain amount of courage to face the fear of breathing under the water!), but there is still the aspect of breaking through the proverbial ‘boys club’ mentality.
Only recently have brands even started making diving equipment specifically for women and wetsuits bigger than a size 12. Shocking when you consider that the average UK female is a size 16.
