Zale Parry - Making a Splash, Scuba Style
In the underwater world of scuba diving, which is a profession still heavily dominated by men, Zale Parry made a splash in a big way in the 1950's. Not only was she one of the first female scuba diving instructors, with record-setting depths she brought scuba diving into the spotlight with her Sports Illustrated cover and her acting in underwater films (that's right, movies filmed entirely underwater!) Not content to simply act in movies underwater, Zale also became an underwater photographer, an author, and worked with compression chambers to cure fellow divers from The Bends. Follow us as we dive down deep to explore the life and many underwater adventures of Zale Parry in episode eight of The Inventing HerStory Podcast.
