LadiesScuba diving didn’t become popular until the late 1940’s—and it was not an accepted activity for women until recently. Yet figures suggest about one third of new participants are scuba women! Equipment reviews, online scuba courses, and accessible beginner classes have all made women feel safer and more secure with scuba and snorkeling for themselves and their families. It has become a focus of SSI to reach out to our potential female divers.
A large part of women’s comfort with scuba has come from relatively recent technological advances which have made diving safer, more predictable, and more comfortable for new divers. SSI Training Programs for beginners are thorough and well-structured to work at the student’s own pace while simultaneously working steadily to get divers underwater. New kinds of wetsuits, fins and tanks are geared towards women. Reviews of this new equipment highlight specific comfort-engineering for women in the shape and size of the wetsuits, the weight of the tanks, and the aesthetic options there are out there today. In addition, usability of scuba equipment has improved greatly over the past two decades. Scuba is now accessible to anyone, and this ease of access has helped to considerably increase the number of women involved. Women are finding that their kids and families love scuba and it provides the perfect opportunity to bond as a family. There are no cell phones underwater! The serene world of colorful fish and other sea life, the slow movement of coral and underwater plant life…scuba offers so many curiosities to explore. For women who yearn for an adventure they can call their own, scuba has become a pastime that will continue to grow in popularity.
