July 18th is Women’s Dive Day 2026! Women’s Dive Day is an annual event created by PADI in 2015 and is celebrated within the scuba diving community to promote and celebrate women’s participation in the sport of diving. This event aims to encourage more women to explore and enjoy the underwater world while also highlighting the achievements of female divers and the importance of gender equality in diving. Women’s Dive Day is held every year on the third Saturday in July, with divers and dive organizations around the planet celebrating with dives, fundraisers and charity events, environmental conservation efforts, and more. Women’s Dive Day has grown into the most celebrated day of diving on the planet, transforming lives and opening the door to the underwater world. Since 2015, the dive community has rallied together to encourage divers, freedivers, swimmers, and snorkelers of all genders, ages, races, backgrounds, and abilities to confidently explore and protect the ocean.
In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Divetech is so grateful for the support of our wonderful customers and friends – with your help, we’ve donated over $60,000 and counting to the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation throughout the years, as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving.
This year they are aiming for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organizations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species.
DiveTech’s owner Joanna Mikutowicz has a long-standing history flying the flag for women in diving creating a female force to be reckoned with in a tech diving center. Her passion for all things pink has created an intriguing talking point, not only on our small island but globally, proving that you can be both feminine and a respected industry leader.
