The First Lady of Scuba Diving | Charleston News
Description
Zale Parry, the legendary “First Lady of Scuba Diving,” has died at 93, leaving behind a legacy of record-breaking dives, Hollywood stardom, and ocean advocacy. At just 21, she shattered women’s depth records at 209 feet — even earning a Groucho Marx nod. Beyond the tank, she starred in adventure TV, doubled for stars like Sophia Loren, and co-founded an underwater film festival. A pioneer in aquatic therapy and diving education, her impact lives on through a scholarship named in her honor — proof that her spirit still dives deep.
