A Scuba Woman – Helping senior women dive confidently
I am a woman diving in my fifties. I am an Empty Nest Diver helping senior women confidently scuba dive – no prior experience needed! I see no age limit for scuba diving as I explore the oceans. Are you a woman scuba diver? Struggling with dive skills and feeling a little out of your depth? Are you a senior scuba diver looking for exciting scuba dives and ways to maintain your diving health? Are you considering becoming a scuba diver, unsure of the process or how long it will take to get PADI scuba certified? I have created a website for scuba diving women to answer these questions and more.
Welcome to Empty Nest Diver
I am a senior woman scuba diving. Learning to dive in my fifties has been both exciting and daunting. Diving has expanded my life in more ways than I could ever have imagined. I have formed relationships, traveled, found courage and strength, marveled at marine life, and dived the Great Barrier Reef. Like many scuba women, I have struggled with dive skills and dive gear, but I have also triumphed. Scuba diving and the diving community have changed my life for the better. Empty Nest Diver embraces female scuba divers of all shapes, sizes, ages, and abilities. Share my experiences as I help you and other senior women scuba dive, confidently. Discovering another world underwater while finding ourselves is an exciting journey we can do together.
