Why
DiveInclusive?
Several statistics highlight a significant underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in scuba diving.
Children from ethnic minority backgrounds often face limited access to activities like scuba diving due to financial constraints and (or) lack of exposure. DiveInclusive addresses this gap by financially sponsoring scuba diving sessions carried out in the safe and controlled environment of a swimming pool. Our initiative is not just about diving; it’s about inspiring confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for the ocean.
By introducing these kids to the sport early, we hope to inspire a new generation of divers who reflect the rich diversity of our society.

Why DiveInclusive?
DiveInclusive was born from my own personal experience as a scuba diver where I have ALWAYS stood out as the only diver from an ethnic minority background in literally every activity, I have been involved in to date. From my certification courses to dive trips within the UK and beyond, it has always been the same experience. Diving wasn’t anything I actively went after. I literally stumbled on it during a holiday in Cape Verde where a try dive was advertised at my resort.
And so I thought to myself to just do it as a bucket list item, get some nice underwater pictures and be done with it. But as soon as I made my first ever descent below the sea to about 5meters, I was sold! There was no turning back for me. That was 2018. Years on & about 5 dive certifications later, I’m fully convinced that if I can enjoy the sport this much, there surely will be others out there from similar background who would do too. And So I decided to do something about it & where better to start than with kids?
