This shows up in PADI statistics from entry level certifications right through to instructor ratings. These statistics are also reflected within Dive HQ with women ranging between 25-38% of our certifications.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that women are active divers and you are more likely to see women participating in a wider range of dives than you were 15 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Dive HQ stores ran different events to mark Women\u2019s Dive Day including pool try dive experiences and guided ocean dives.
