<p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> What happens when an Omani woman trades a chemistry degree for a wetsuit and never looks back?</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> In this episode, we talk to Dee, full name Ehdaa, meaning dedication, the first female PADI diving instructor in the Sultanate of Oman and founder of Aura Divers, the country's only women-owned dive centre. Today she has taken that passion even further as CEO and Co-Founder of DiveNav.ai, a traveltech platform reimagining how adventure travel is discovered and experienced.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> We dive into how Dee went from studying Chemistry to building a life underwater, travelling through Southeast Asia and working as a dive instructor along the way. She talks about what makes Oman's waters so special, pristine reefs, whale sharks, diverse marine life, and dive sites with almost no current, and why it remains one of the most underrated diving destinations in the world.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> We also talk about what it's like to be a woman in a male-dominated field in the Middle East, and why she thinks the best way to protect the ocean is simply to let people see it.</p> <p class= "font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"> Plus: a very memorable moment involving a wetsuit, a boat, and an audience she didn't expect.</p>
