To the next generation of women divers:
Congratulations to Ipsh*ta Dey for becoming India’s second woman commercial diver. After graduating as a Class-2 Commercial Diver from Jacks Dive Chest Commercial Diver Training School in Cape Town, South Africa, she’s proving that the underwater world has room for more women at the front. As the daughter of IMCA Air Diving Supervisor and saturation diver Jayanta Dey, Ipsh*ta grew up seeing what’s possible, and now she’s making it real for others to follow.

Commercial diving isn’t just tough, it’s technical, well-paid, and global. You work on offshore energy, ship repair, marine construction, and inspections, using real engineering skills while exploring places most people never see. If you have focus, fitness, and curiosity, schools like Jacks Dive Chest will train you, and the industry needs you.

More Indian women and women everywhere belong in this field, leading crews, setting standards, and making history one dive at a time.
