Every day, women are inspired by diving and inspire others to dive. In celebration of PADI Women’s Dive Day, Dive Friends Bonaire shares our dive inspirations. What inspires us? Who inspires us?

The inaugural 2015 PADI Women’s Dive Day event was a historic day for diving. In just its first year, PADI Women’s Dive Day featured events across 65 countries and all seven continents. Men and women from Alaska to Argentina, France to the Philippines enjoyed a day of diving together to celebrate the contributions of women to the sport.

Dive Friends Bonaire celebrated the 2nd Annual PADI Women’s Dive Day on July 16th by celebrating the inspiration of women to dive. All of our female divers were invited to pose for pictures (above and below water) and share their stories of what inspires them about diving and to give kudos to women divers who have inspired them. All of the photos are shared on Facebook and Pinterest. Feel free to add your stories! The diver who had the most likes, Arig Aboulenein won a PADI Specialty (she chose PADI Enriched Air Nitrox training).
