Women’s Dive Day event 2022
It’s back! And we are so excited for this years event. Read on to learn about our special Women’s Dive Day event on July 16, 2022 in Cabo.
After 2 long years, Dive Ninja is excited to announce the return of our annual PADI Women’s Dive Day event on Saturday July 16, 2022 at our home in Cabo San Lucas. To make up for lost time we wanted to bring you something very special for this year! The day will kick off with an awesome, all female 2 dives tour in the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, led by 2 of our awesome ninja instructors, Donna and Monik! But you know us, we always wanted to take it to the next level. So we’ve invited 3 super special guests to join the dives; Danna Moore, Global Director of Project AWARE; marine scientist & co-founder of Mobula Conservation Project, Marta Palacios; and the founder of Women’s Dive Day herself, Katie Thompson, Global Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at PADI.
These 3 remarkable women have dedicated their lives to the preservation & conservation of our planet’s oceans and the communities tied to them. After a morning of laughs, smiles and awesome diving in the marine park we will kick off our afternoon session with inspiring talks by Danna, Katie, and Marta learning about their journeys as well as Q&A sessions over snacks & drinks to close out the day. Check out the bios below to learn more about these special guests and grab your tickets today. This event has limited space and will sell out fast.
