What started in 2015 as an effort to encourage more women to explore the underwater world has grown into one of the largest single-day events in diving. Today, it’s a global celebration of diversity, inclusion, empowerment, and environmental action in the diving community.
Why PADI Women’s Dive Day Exists
The scuba diving world, like many adventure sports, was once male-dominated. PADI launched Women’s Dive Day to help change that. The goal? To close the gender gap in diving and to create a welcoming space where everyone feels supported, especially those just beginning their underwater journey.
Over the years, this day has transformed into a celebration of community — not just for women, but for divers of all genders, ages, backgrounds, and skill levels who share a love for the ocean. Events on this day often include fun dives, conservation activities, underwater cleanups, and free training sessions. And every year, new divers discover how empowering and life-changing diving can be.

A Great Chance to Meet Our Incredible Women Instructors
This day is also a fantastic opportunity to meet the amazing women of the Fast Manta team — dedicated, experienced instructors who bring passion and inspiration to everything they do.
You’ll have the chance to chat with them, ask questions, and see firsthand why they love to teach diving and freedivingso much.
At Fast Manta, we believe in empowering our instructors to lead by example. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned diver, you’ll quickly see how their knowledge, calm presence, and love for the ocean make every course more meaningful.
Who Can Join?
This freediving test day is open to everyone aged 15 and up — no previous freediving or scuba experience is required. While it’s part of our celebration of PADI Women’s Dive Day, the event is inclusive and open to all genders.
So whether you’re a woman interested in diving, a man supporting the women in your life, or anyone curious about the underwater world — you’re welcome to join.
Why Freediving on Women’s Dive Day?
Freediving is about inner peace, self-trust, and simplicity. No heavy gear, no tanks, no bubbles — just you, your breath, and the ocean. It’s empowering in the purest way, and that makes it a perfect fit for the spirit of Women’s Dive Day.
As a PADI 5-Star IDC, PADI Freediving Center, Eco Dive Center, and proud Green Fins member, Fast Manta offers top-tier training in a supportive, inclusive, and environmentally conscious setting.
