Ep 7 Managing Expectations- Dive Like A Girl Podcast

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 37:05

Every experienced diver was once a brand-new diver—and most of us made a few mistakes along the way. 🤿

In this episode of the Dive Like A Girl Podcast, Rachel is joined by Bailey, an instructor from Conch Republic Divers in Tavernier, Florida, and Trista, an instructor from Louisville Dive Center in Kentucky to talk about some of the most common mistakes new SCUBA divers make—and how to avoid them.

We're talking overweighting, buoyancy struggles, blowing through your air, swimming with your hands, constantly reaching for your inflator, trying to keep up with experienced divers, being afraid to ask questions, and assuming a Divemaster or guide will always be there to take care of you.

Plus, we share plenty of our OWN beginner mistakes—because we've all been there!

The biggest takeaway? Open Water certification is just the beginning. Keep asking questions. Keep practicing. Keep learning. And stop comparing yourself to the diver next to you.

A huge thank you to Bailey and Trista for joining us!

Ep 6 All About Liveaboards- Dive Like A Girl Podcast

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mercredi 19 août 2026 • Durée 38:59

Is a liveaboard only for experienced divers? Can you book one without a dive buddy? What should you pack? And is it really just eat, sleep, dive, repeat?

In this episode of the Dive Like A Girl Podcast, Rachel and Tara are joined by Julie Haakenson for an all-about-liveaboards conversation designed especially for divers considering their first trip.

Julie shares how she took her first liveaboard trip as a newer diver and solo female traveler with fewer than 25 dives—and how that experience eventually helped change the direction of her life and led to working in the liveaboard industry herself.

We talk about choosing the right boat and destination for your experience level, traveling solo, finding dive buddies, sharing cabins, currents and certification requirements, packing light, bringing vs. renting dive gear, budget vs. luxury boats, gratuities and additional fees, dive and travel insurance, and why arriving early for an international liveaboard is always a good idea.

Plus, Rachel and Tara share some of the lessons they've learned from their own liveaboard experiences—including why multiple swimsuits, soft-sided luggage, a hooded towel and a warm boat parka might deserve a spot on your packing list!

A huge thank you to Julie for joining us and sharing her liveaboard expertise! 💙

From learning to dive after a spinal cord injury to making dive destinations more accessible around the world, this conversation is inspiring, educational, and a wonderful reminder of what makes the dive community so special.
