Note: I apologize for the technical difficulty that Jay's microphone was experiencing. It is rectified at the 18:50 minute mark.
In this conversation, Jay, Sarah, and Ara discuss the lack of diversity in the scuba diving industry and the impact it has on different communities. They explore the experiences of being a person of color in the diving world, the stereotypes and discrimination faced by divers from different backgrounds, and the role of marketing and representation in perpetuating these biases.
They also touch on the financial barriers that prevent many individuals from marginalized communities from accessing diving opportunities. The conversation covers topics such as the lack of access to diving for Filipinos due to financial constraints, the importance of localizing diving and making it accessible to all, the need for awareness and empathy when traveling to different cultures, the presence of casual racism in the diving community, and the importance of being an ally and speaking up against racism. The conversation also highlights the significance of supporting businesses that treat their employees well and have fair practices.
