Undercurrent is a publication that serves as sort of a "Consumer Reports" journal for scuba. They are asking women to come forward with information about harassment and assault related to diving, see below.
"In February's issue of Undercurrent, we mentioned the complaint from a female subscriber about her treatment by a dive guide on an Indonesian liveaboard. Could this be the result of a patriarchal or sexist attitude to women and, subsequently to female divers? Are you a female diver who's experienced unfortunate attitudes while abroad or even when diving at home? Do some dive guides patronize you and assume you are an inexperienced diver? Worse than that, have you experienced outright sexual harassment when diving? If so, we're working on a story, and we'd like to hear your story. Write to BenDEditor@undercurrent.org
Please include your name and hometown so we may get back to you, but we will keep you anonymous if you wish."
