Can a woman dive while menstruating?

As a woman diver I've received this question not only by my ladies students but also by many friends.
The answer I allways give is: if not, I might never be considered to work in diving.

To work in diving is like to have any kind of other job. If every woman in the world mentioned in their application that once per month, every month, they will not go to work during their period, there would be no women working anywhere.
Every woman in the world, despite her job, goes to work during their period.
Sometimes is painful or annoying, sometimes it is more tiring, but woman all around the world goes to work every day no matter being with the period or not.
To work as a diver is the same. No difference at all.
Fortunately technology has developed very practical "devices" for these days such as the menstrual cup or tampon.
During diving we use them as well.
Some women doesn't but as usual it will depends of every woman.
Consider safety first always and if you are feeling well and there is nothing medical indication to not dive, you can do so.

Here is an article that DAN and PADI has published about this issue.

So ladies, if you want to dive, the period wont be an excuse to not go underwater!

The ecologist and filmmaker Madison Stewart, better known as “Shark Girl” shares with us her experiences and connection as a woman diving with sharks.
