Big Deep - An Ocean Podcast

Comfortable with the Uncomfortable - Sarah Richard, Girls That Scuba founder, on the challenges and joy that a life of passion brings


Listen Later

In today's episode, I speak with Sarah Richard founder of the world's largest community for female divers, Girls That Scuba, and the ancillary Girls That Free Dive.

With over 700,000 members in just under four years, the group has exploded onto the ocean scene and commands a powerful presence online. And much of that is simply because of Sarah's character and determination.

But having gotten to know Sarah over the past couple of years, we were able to speak a bit more deeply. And she shared how diving and free diving push her towards places she feels uncomfortable, the reactions, both positive and some not, to her forming a dive community focused on women, and how a simple moment on a dive in Panama still means much to her today.

Scuba Diving, Free Diving, Ocean Environmentalism, Surfing, and Marine Science.
