Our diving community has an exciting date approaching! On July 18th, we will celebrate the 12th Annual PADI Women’s Dive Day at Aquarius Dive Shop. This event is about more than just celebration! It brings people together through purpose, action, and a shared passion for the ocean.

Whether it’s your first dive or your next step forward, Women’s Dive Day is an invitation to be part of something bigger alongside a global community making a real impact.

We look forward to bringing our community together while celebrating and supporting women-owned businesses. From bakeries and local vendors to art, lunch, and of course a group dive, this day will be filled with connection, inspiration, and fun. We can’t wait to share this experience with you and make it a memorable day for everyone involved!
