The Miss Scuba International pageant was held for the very first time in 2011. There had been many a beauty pageant held in the past, many embracing great causes, however none yet had focused on our oceans. Life on Earth as we know it today began with our oceans. Thus, the organizers decided that it was time that an event such as this was produced to celebrate, not only, the inner beauty and courage of today’s modern women, but also to simultaneously advocate worldwide marine conservation. Additionally, the pageant also aim to promote safe diving practices through worldwide professional training organizations, and elevate international tourism and cultural appreciation. As people travel to far off destinations to dive, they also learn to appreciate the cultural diversity that makes our world such an interesting tapestry.
