About Jenny Lord

Jenny grew up in Gloucester, UK before moving around the South West of England teaching various outdoor sports such as rock climbing, kayaking, caving, and hiking. She moved to Dahab, Egypt originally to teach rock climbing but the diving bug bit her and she worked her way up through her instructor levels being introduced to technical diving on the way.

Her main focus has always been on teaching and coaching. Having spent many years using outdoor sports as a platform to develop teams she has now improved and transferred those skills and is an instructor of Human Factors in Diving, which gives people tools to make it easier to do the right thing and harder to do the wrong thing.

Although she initially had no interest in going deep, she now loves the peace she finds on technical dives. She also loves exploring new places, especially the canyons around her home.

Jenny’s passion for diving shines through and she is happiest when she’s in the water, whether it’s at 5m or 105m. She is also a keen underwater photographer and will often be found on her own watching the smallest creatures she can find, waiting for that perfect shot.

Jenny has gained a first-class reputation in the worldwide technical diving community as the ‘go to girl’ when an experienced support diver is required for dives well beyond the standard technical limits. She has supported several sub 200m dives.

Although an obvious role model for women in diving, it is her skill set and experience rather than the relative novelty of her gender that sets her apart from her peers. She has quickly become a fresh and enthusiastic public face of technical diving.

She loves helping others to achieve their goals, whether learning to scuba dive and introducing them to the world she loves so much or improving their skills and awareness.
