Cave diving in the Yucatan is like travelling back in time. You may come across ancient Mayan relics, fossils, artifacts, or even animal and human bones. There are an estimated 8000 cenotes around Merida, with more being discovered all the time.

On July 24, 2024, Nathan & Kim Maker, from Oklahoma, had been boat-diving with a group off the coast of Texas when they were swept away by a storm current. They used their Shearwater Teric to navigate as they drifted out to sea, and survive the next 39 hours until finally rescued by the US Coast Guard.

We love hearing about the adventures our Shearwater divers are up to. In celebration of Women's Dive Day this year, we reached out to some of our team to see what's coming up on their calendars. From the Caribbean to Japan, Socorro to Iceland, read the article for their next adventures and dive training aspirations.
