To say today was exceptional would not even begin to describe it.

Started the day hearing about how is improving standards and supporting instructors and students by constantly reevaluating guidelines to make diving safer for everyone.

Our presentation Community Over Competition: How Building A Community Will Grow Your Business Faster Than Selling went great. We saw so many friends in the room and felt the love of our community!

I'm happy to say, everyone was taking photos of the slides, no one walked out, and everyone seemed quite engaged throughout the presentation. All good signs! Thank you to everyone who wished me luck and for so many big hugs 💕 Sadly, I forgot to ask anyone to take photos so... I have none 🤦‍♀️

Met with so many incredible women in the dive industry doing wonderful things. I love seeing the enthusiasm building as we grow communities of confident, competent divers together!

But the most incredible moment was saved for the end of the day, outside waiting for a cab...

I had the opportunity to meet Her Deepness, Sylvia Earle, expert in marine biology, first woman to head the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), world renowned ocean advocate and conservationist, and badass trailblazer. To shake Sylvia's hand and thank her for everything she has done for both women in science, and our planet, was a true honor.

Can't wait to see what magic tomorrow will bring 🩵

🤿 SCUBA DIVING IS NOT A PRETTY SPORT! 😂

You start the day looking cute. Nice hair, looking fresh, ready for adventure.

One dive later? Salty hair, mask face, and possibly a random bo**er. 🤣

But hey… YOU SAW SHARKS! 🦈 Totally worth it!

In this hilarious clip from the Dive Like A Girl Podcast, Rachel, Tara, and Reanna from I.CARE discuss the less glamorous side of Scuba diving.

And apparently, we need to add a new step to our dive routine:

✅ Buddy check BEFORE the dive.
✅ Bo**er check AFTER the dive.

That's what dive buddies are for, right?! 😂

🎧 Catch the full episode for a great conversation about coral reef restoration and how everyday divers can help protect our oceans!

A certification card doesn't automatically come with confidence... or a dive buddy!

New divers need opportunities to practice, people to learn from, and a welcoming community that makes them feel like they belong.

Because let's face it—it's a whole lot easier to stay excited about diving when you've got someone to dive with! 🤿

🎤 At DEMA Show 2026, I'll be sharing simple, actionable ways dive businesses can help new divers build confidence, find their people, and stay active.

DEMA Show 2026 is off to a great start in NOLA!

We made it about halfway through the floor, caught up with a ton of friends, attended a couple great education sessions with SDI Divers, and ended the day with an awesome party hosted by DAN!

Time to get some rest because tomorrow promises to be another incredible day!

🪸 WAIT… CORAL CAN HELP OTHER CORAL RECOVER?! 🤯

When ocean temperatures get too high, corals can lose the tiny algae that provide much of their energy. That's what causes coral bleaching.

But here's where things get REALLY interesting! 🔬

Scientists have observed genetically identical corals transferring those important algae between one another through tiny tissue connections!

In this clip from the Dive Like A Girl Podcast, Reanna Jeanes from I.CARE explains this fascinating research and what it could mean for understanding coral recovery.

Who knew coral could be so complicated?! 🪸💙

🎧 Catch our full conversation about coral reef restoration, conservation, and how everyday Scuba divers can get involved!

Your best salesperson might not even work for you! 🤿

Think about your most enthusiastic divers. They're sharing photos, telling stories, planning their next trip, and convincing their friends to get certified because they want MORE people to dive with!

That's the power of community-driven marketing.

It's something we work to cultivate through Midwest Mermaids' social media, YouTube channel, and Dive Like a Girl Podcast.

Zero chill! And zero respect for personal space...

Think you're going through that swim through alone? Nope. Mr Nosy is going through too.

But who doesn't love the nurse sharks in Belize 💙🦈
