Immersion in the sea

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz

Shalom Rabbi, if a woman works and she needs to go to the Mikveh but there isn’t one in her area, is it permissible to use the sea?

It is permissible to immerse in the sea, and one must be careful about three things: 1. The woman should not stand on any object that comes between her and the seabed, 2. Loose clothing should be worn, and 3. Her husband should accompany her.
