Excitement reigns as preparations are underway for PADI Women’s Dive Day 2016, PADI’s second annual celebration of women in diving, taking place on 16 July 2016. This event recognize women’s contributions to diving throughout history and provides special opportunities for more women to enter the sport of diving today.

It should be no surprise that scuba enthusiast Erik Rosenstein is committed to protecting the environment. He has bachelor’s degrees in environmental science and biochemistry, as well as advanced post-graduate degrees in environmental toxicology and environmental law. Plus he has spent a lot of time underwater, as evidenced by his impressive diving credentials: TDI Full Cave Instructor, TDI Intro to Tech Instructor, TDI Advanced Nitrox Instructor, TDI Sidemount Instructor and PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer.

For cold water divers, a drysuit is the best way to stave off the effects of exposure, especially if you’re on longer bottom times or if like us in BC, the best diving season corresponds with the colder parts of the year. A good drysuit is an investment though, and not something you should jump into casually. The type of diving you do, and the amount you’re able to invest, are the best ways to initially determine which type of drysuit may be best for you.
