"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."
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.
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.
