WHAT:          

Thousands of divers around the world will participate in the second-annual international Women's Dive Day presented by PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.

WHY:            

This global initiative celebrates female divers everywhere and was created to generate awareness in the sport of diving among women. PADI Dive Centers and Resorts, industry icons and recreational divers – both male and female alike – will take part in events scheduled across the globe intended to narrow the gender gap in scuba diving.
