Fish and social media users may live in different worlds, but their behaviors reveal fascinating similarities. Whether it’s finding strength in numbers, flaunting brilliance for attention, or navigating dangers, fish schools and social media tribes share universal truths about connection and community.
Just like schools of fish band together for survival, connection, and collective strength, we want to connect with you on social media. Out Scuba’s social media accounts are all about creating a vibrant community, building conscious awareness of LGBTQIA+ divers and promoting marine conservation. We are still under 50 followers on all of our accounts, and we need your support to get this off the ground. Here’s why you’ll want to dive into our digital shoal and make your mark by following Out Scuba today.
Immerse yourself in community
Are you looking for new dive buddies? Travel companions? People to hang out with? Schools of fish depend on each other for guidance, safety and companionship. Out Scuba’s social media accounts foster a community of LGBTQIA+ divers, snorkelers and those we love. By following us, you’re becoming part of a collective that shares a passion for the underwater world. Connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and feel a sense of belonging—all while supporting Out Scuba’s incredible work.
Build conscious awareness of LGBTQIA+ scuba divers
Most dive operators are pretty observant and are aware that gay and lesbian scuba divers are “around,” but rarely do they take us into account when planning events or establishing “safe zones” for us to be ourselves. We are, quite frankly, left to fend for ourselves in the face of homophobic and transphobic responses from other divers. We are working to reach out to dive operators, resorts and shops to let them know you are an important part of their customer base. Some companies, notably Scuba Network, Force-E, Scuba Star and Dry Fob have all reached back out to you with discounts and offers to make you feel at home. We need you to follow our accounts and recommend your scuba contacts to follow us so that we can educate more people in the dive community about the presence and importance of LGBTQIA+ divers to their bottom line.
