PADI will be celebrating Women’s Dive Day on July 20, 2019, with a series of global events to celebrate women in diving.
According to PADI Worldwide’s Chief Marketing Officer Kristin Valette-Wirth:
“PADI Women’s Dive Day has become a global movement to create and inspire a passionate community of ocean advocates that spans generations. What started as a celebration of women in diving has quickly become the single largest day of diving in the world – something every diver can draw inspiration from.”
