women divers

One in four women have experienced sexual assault to some degree in their lives. This is not to suggest that every fourth woman that you meet has been violently raped at knifepoint - but, statistically, you probably do know someone who has. Just because someone hasn't had a knife to their...

Hey ladies! I make dive wear. I have just increased the support level of one of my bikini tops, and adding some extended plus sizes on swimsuits/leggings/sports bras. I am looking for some ladies that are either E+ and/or plus sized women (especially 3xL-6xL) who would be interested in product...

Hello ! I'm sidemount certified and only dive recreational for now. However, I want to buy my own sidemount gear and get tec certified to cave dive in the future. This is why I would prefer buying tec equipment even though it will be for later. I was thinking of getting the xdeep tec 2.0 bcd...

I've been very much a vacation diver for the last 8 years. Every trip, I come home resolved to start diving at home, but there's one big thing holding me back. I run unusually cold, and live in California. From what I can tell most folks in my area go with a 7mm wetsuit. I can't really go up...

Hi! I am a 5'1 short women (not that skinny - 145lbs) and have been disappointed in the new Henderson Aqua Lock 5mm. I had the same brand/size wetsuit for years (Henderson aqua lock) but their new version just doesn't keep me warm. I usually get cold easy and wear a 5mm in anything below 83...

FATHOM custom made wet suit, very lightly worn. I’m 5ft 8”, 130 lbs, fabulous wet suit. You’ll enjoy every dive in this super high quality suit. Asking $100.

I wanted to share this most excellent post by Diveheart Executive Director Tinamarie Hernandez on International Womens Day...Well done! Jim Elliott Diveheart Founder & President. "I want to recognize and say thank you to all the amazing women who have helped and continue to help Diveheart thrive...

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! Here is a link to my short video message to all women, with captions in many languages:

Hi all, Looking for some advice before purchasing my first BCD. I want a jacket style one that's designed for women but it needs to be affordable. I've been looking at the following: - Scubapro Bella - Aqualung Pearl - Cressi Travelight Does anyone have any opinions they can share on the...

Hi brilliant divers! My name is Cassidy, I am a student at Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. I am currently researching the female scuba diving community for my anthropology class! I chose to research female divers because of the passion, dedication, and close knitted-ness of the community...

I was working as a dive instructor when I had cancer. Now my doctors says that I shouldnt lift heavy objects to avoid lymphedema but none is able to tell me if I can continue teaching or only dive for fun (assisted by someone else) Does anyone knows or has experienced this? I have been treated...

Hi all; I recently bought the Cressi Leonardo watch - and found the band to be huge (issue is with the buckle not the length of the tongue). I figured out a hack to resolve the problem by buying neoprene wrist bands. I reached out to Cressi and asked them to consider a more female friendly...

Here is a link to my short video "Happy Women's Day From a Diver" in advance of International Women's Day on March 8th. I am posting this video a few days earlier, as I will be away on the Ray of Hope Expedition, diving in Andaman Sea next week. Best wishes to all women, divers and non-divers...

:sad2:Due to medical reasons, I have to cancel my dive trip to Raja Ampat. Like an idiot, I did not purchase insurance ‍(head slap)! I know my roommate would love a cabin to herself, lol, but are any of you ladies available and able to take a trip from Sorong to Halmahera April 28th - May 09...

i have been diving with neoprene drysuits for 16 years. I like them but they are heavy and I am getting older. My shop says the DUI flex or 350 would be best for me. I need a custom built suit. I do photography so flexibility is important. I am primarily interested in that and durability and...

I do not have the strength to carry my own equipment. Does anyone have recommendations for exercises that will help me gain strength so that I can carry my equipment and tank? I hate having to depend on other people to schlep my stuff.

This really isn't a women's issue. This is more of a stupidity issue. Perhaps someone else will share it. But I thought those in here would like to enjoy the idiocy first: Famed surfer: Women's periods 'most common reason' for shark attacks Laird Hamilton, co-inventor of tow-in surfing...

Women’s Dive Day is coming, have you given it any thought? Ladies, are you happy accounting for only 36% of divers?!? That’s right; when it comes to diving it’s still a man’s world! That 36% figure mentioned above… that’s only a PADI statistics; a study by Anysite for DEMA found that women...

This is a women's large, 350 TLS drysuit for scuba diving. Asking $1,100 (shipping included). I am the original owner. The suit has been worn in marine and freshwater environments ~25-30 times. It is in excellent condition and has always been rinsed, dried and stored in its DUI bag. I love this...
