ABOUT US
Dive Bunnies is a state of mind.
We are a not for profit organisation open to anyone who has a love of the ocean (or sea, lake, loch, fjord or any other sizeable body of water).
For clarity we are not a training organisation, although most of our senior members are certified scuba diving Instructors.
We are also not a political organisation but do support conservation projects and organisations - if you're a climate change denier, then we are not the place for you.
We are scuba divers with a passion for our sport, conservation and life in general and whilst you don't need to be a scuba diver to be a Dive Bunny, you might find the rest of us a bit boring if you're not!
All we ask is that you're friendly, supportive, fun and possess absolutely no ego.
Dive Bunnies Values
- Respect - we respect and will listen to the views of others. If we disagree we do so professionally and politely
- Ownership - we are responsible for actively addressing climate change and shark conservation. We are responsible for our dives, no one else.
- Education - we are always looking to learn more & to challenge our own beliefs (we let others come to us, not attempt to educate them)
- Honesty - we declare any interests without embarrassment or a need to change elegance
- Enjoyment - This is not work, this is about everyone enjoying life more
OUR HISTORY
Created in 2012, (or 2013 – we’re a little hazy on that) Dive Bunnies was originally a small group of like-minded divers who always seemed to end up on the same scuba dives together.
Bonds grew, friendships developed and it soon became clear that those of us on a bunnies' dive shared a certain mindset.
Word spread and others asked to join us on a 'Bunnies' Dive'.
Originally these were girl-only scuba dives but boys who felt the same soon asked to join the gang. Dive Bunnies was up and running or should we say, diving!
We’re probably 80% girls now but boys are more than welcome to join us – we have no allegiance to any dive organisation, we don’t push anything political (beyond conservation) and we don’t care what sex, race, age, colour or size you are.
You’re either a Dive Bunny or you’re not. It's a state of mind.
