Scuba WomenWhy a special website for women divers?I am regularly asked why I created this website for women divers. Why a special website when women want to be treated the same as men? I didn't create this website because I think that women and men should dive separately. It is simply because, when I started diving, I couldn't find certain information specific for women anywhere else, or only after searching for a long time. Yes, women do want to be treated the same way as men, but there are some issues that are different for women than men, because men and women are biologically different. Think of medical issues (e.g. diving and pregnancy) and scuba gear that is not always comfortable for women (e.g. some women have a lot of difficulty finding a BCD that fits comfortably). And, believe it or not, in some cases women still aren't treated the same way as men, so that's another important issue. I've heard terrible experiences from other women divers, which has led them to join women-only dive clubs. This is not because they wanted to separate themselves, but because they were simply not accepted by the men. Most women do not want to separate themselves from men, but sometimes they just have to because of the behaviour of some men (luckily not all of them!!) who simply don't want to treat women the same as men. Another reason for creating a special web page is to show that scuba diving isn't just for men and that there are a lot of women divers. I've often met women who wanted to take up scuba, but didn't because they thought it was some macho sport for men only. With this website, I hope to show these women that this is not true, that scuba diving is for everyone. For women and for men!
