Midwest Mermaids Scuba
United States
Rachel Zimmerman is the founder of Midwest Mermaids Scuba and an advocate for building strong, community-driven dive experiences. After waiting years to get certified due to the misconception that quality diving didn’t exist in the Midwest, she set out to change that narrative. Through social media, local meetups, and education, she has created a thriving network that helps divers stay active and connected. Rachel is passionate about turning newly certified divers into confident, lifelong divers through community and continued engagement.
