Dive Bermuda is proud to announce their participation in the 4th Annual PADI Women’s Dive Day on Saturday, July 21st.
For the past three years, divers from every corner of the globe have come together for PADI Women’s Dive Day to bond over their love of the ocean and a passion for diving. This growing tradition will continue this year, further strengthening and supporting the female dive community through a day of fun, adventure and camaraderie. Since the 2015 inaugural event, the celebration has continued to gain momentum as new and experienced divers gear up for an underwater adventure.
This year, they would like to combine the global initiative to reduce single-use plastic with their Ladies Dive Day – so no plastic spoons/glasses/straws, etc.
The dive boat will depart from the private beach at the Fairmont Southampton.. The morning dive will have a check-in time of 8.30am and will return at around noon. The afternoon dive, a Discover Scuba Diving program for non-certified ladies, will have a 12.30pm check-in and will return at around 4pm. At each, you will have fun diving, with paparazzi, girly mocktails, and some surprises along the way. Come along with your mother/daughter/sister/friends and show your support for our diving sisters around the world.
Female certified divers who sign up for the morning 2-tank dive will receive a heavily discounted price of $110 if you have your own dive gear, or $155 if you would like to rent the equipment. For ladies new to diving, there is a one-off price of $150 for the beginner.
For more information, or to take advantage of this offer and come join in fun, contact info@bermudascuba.com.
