Check it out

There is a great article about the myths surrounding women and diving in one of the last two DIVE TRAINING mags. It covers, bouyancy, equipment strides tons of stuff

Being fairly new to diving I haven't heard of any of these women but with this information it will be a good chance to do some reading on some women who have landmarked this sport that I have so enjoyed over the past year!

Pleased to say during at least one point in my diving career I have known five of them (Hillary Hauser, Dr. Sylvia Earle, Lorraine Sadler, Dr. Ruth Turner and Dr. Mia Tegner). I have some buddies who I hope will be elected soon as well.

Just a plug for a great Canadian diver and role model...

I have heard of some of these women, their stories are inspiring

I was certified in 2001 by Ceil Connelly. She was also inducted into the hall of fame in 2001. She was an awesome person and a great SCUBA instructor. I was very surprised to learn about all of her accomplishments. I truely feel I am a better, safer diver because of her instruction and love of scuba.

Was Audrey Mestre inducted before or after her fatal accident? The story on her and Pippin that was done in Sports Illustrated last month was one of the saddest I've ever read. ;-0

I hope she returns to Earth in her next life as a dolphin -- the most free swimmer in the ocean.

What about Zale Perry? She was a true pioneer

 

[Abalone]

I will answer my own question because I am new ..sorry Zale Perry is already in there! I did not read 2002 .

No idea about the others, but I don't think Audrey Mestre should be on the list.

Free diving looking for absurd records is not a sport, it's just another way of committing suicide.

She succeeded, that's all.

Pipin didn't do her a favour by deciding that all enquiry results will be kept secret.
