Women in Scuba - One Size Doesn't Fit All

More and more women are getting into diving - a sport once dominated by men. Equipment manufacturers are trying to play catch up as they realize that one size does not fit all – gear made for men doesn’t fit women divers. Award winning underwater explorer, Jill Heinerth, has co-written a new book called Women Underwater. In this book Jill gives information and stories gained from her own experiences and has presented it in easily digestible and entertaining format. On today’s show I talk with Jill about what’s inside.

For Dr Daphne Soares from the University of Maryland, cave diving is part of her job description. She gets visibly excited when talking about cave diving and how it allows her to reach more extreme environments to do her research. What is her research? Brains. Fish Brains. Daphne studies how cave fish have adapted to the harsh environments. It may sound like a dry topic - but not when Daphne talks about it.
