Are there gender differences in diving?

just a fyi, if you are only using scubaboard you will have a massive sampling bias as scubaboard users lean old (>50) and male. You could post on r/scuba (https://www.reddit.com/r/scuba), girls that scuba fb group, and instagram to get a wider demographic sample. It is worth noting that since some scuba bros, especially boomers, can be such unbelievable mansplaining bores, many of the women are on private groups and not here. Which may answer some of your questions.

I'm a 51 year old white male, so not a boomer. But your assessment is spot on. I wonder if after these boomers pass away if the sport will pick back up again?

@estellemay would you be willing to remove the requirement that participants log in? I don't want give my personally identifiable information to a stranger on the internet. Cheers

I was already considering looking into other platforms to post based off responses I was getting so thank you! I will see about posting it on those pages.

Done.

You might be interested in the UK Coaching Report 2024, recreation dive instructors fall under this definition.
