Meet Isabel Arango.
At just 17 years old, Isabel has already logged more than 120 dives. Born and raised on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, she grew up surrounded by the ocean, completed her first dive at the age of eight, and has never looked back.
Her story isn’t about breaking records—it’s about proving that age is no barrier to passion, curiosity, and commitment. As part of the next generation of divers, Isabel represents the future of our underwater community and is determined to inspire more young people to take their first breath beneath the surface.
At Diving Talks 2026, Isabel will bring a fresh perspective to one of the most important conversations in diving today: How do we inspire the next generation to discover, protect, and fall in love with the underwater world?
🎥 Watch Isabel’s introduction and tell us: What first inspired you to become a diver?
"Let’s Talk About Diving" is a speaker introduction series leading up to Diving Talks 2026, where some of the most respected voices in the underwater world come together to share ideas, stories, and inspiration.
