Rod is an internationally renowned Scottish shipwreck explorer, undersea adventurer, maritime historian, TV personality and best-selling diving author with 13 books about shipwrecks and naval history, the culmination of a lifetime of diving. His beautifully illustrated books are the internationally accepted definitive guides to many world-famous dive locations. He is the author of Dive Scapa Flow, covering the German WWI High Seas Fleet shipwrecks scuttled in Scapa in 1919, Dive Truk Lagoon – the Japanese WWII Pacific shipwrecks, covering the 40 Japanese ships sent to the bottom of the Truk lagoon in Micronesia in February 1944 during a daring 2-day fast carrier raid by U.S. Task Force 58 aircraft codenamed Operation HAILSTONE. He is also the author of Dive Palau – the shipwrecks, the sunken legacy of the follow up Task Force 58 raid, Operation DESECRATE 1, just six weeks later – and a number of naval history books. Rod regularly appears on TV documetaries as a wreck expert, and as a patron of the British & Irleand Chapter of the Explorers Club of New York and has led a number of high profile Explorers Club flagged expeditions to survey shipwrecks around the world.

In this episode, we chat with Dan Frolec — diver, adventurer, entrepreneur, and author of The Cave, a gripping true story that blends scuba diving with real-life tragedy and injustice. Dan has been diving for over 30 years, exploring oceans across the globe. But one trip in 2002 to Croatia changed everything. What began as a routine sailing and diving holiday turned into a nightmare when a fellow diver was lost in an underwater cave. Soon after, Dan and a friend were falsely accused of murder and imprisoned, forced to fight for their freedom against shocking claims. Dan shares the story behind The Cave, the emotional toll of the incident, and how he found the strength to keep going. Beyond the book, we also dive into Dan's life journey — from a high-level corporate career in Prague to quitting it all and moving to Bali for a different way of life. Today, he runs his own advisory business, created a fitness programme, and continues to pursue his love for diving, freediving, and adventure. A powerful episode about resilience, truth, and the unexpected paths life can take.

In Episode 223 of the Big Scuba podcast, hosts Ian and Gemma are joined by TV presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff and her son, Ollie, to discuss the dynamics of a "diving family." The conversation explores how diving became a central part of their household, with Miranda's daughter, Emily, recently working as a Dive Master and Ollie emerging as an enthusiastic advocate for the sport. Miranda reflects on the natural progression of her children into diving, noting that while their upbringing made it almost inevitable, it was always rooted in a genuine, positive choice. Ollie's introduction to the underwater world was remarkably early, having first used a regulator at just three years old. He attributes his passion not only to his mother's career but to a shared family interest that included his father's love for snorkeling and his siblings' early certifications. This upbringing involved family holidays centered around diving clubs, allowing the children to build their skills alongside their parents. Now a teenager, Ollie is focused on encouraging other young people to overcome their hesitations and try the sport for themselves. Beyond recreational trips to locations like Grenada and the Philippines, the family remains active in marine conservation, frequently participating in underwater clean-ups with groups like "Neptune's Army." Miranda notes the welcoming nature of the diving community, which has consistently supported her children as fellow divers rather than just observers.

This week on The BiG Scuba Podcast, Gemma and Ian chat to John Routley and Brent Hudson, the names behind Narked at 90.
Brent and John are the founders of Narked at 90 and discuss their transition from hobbyist divers to leaders in the technical diving industry. They describe a history of innovating bespoke equipment, such as rebreathers and high-intensity strobes, often born from personal necessity and a drive for engineering mastery. They both have experienced several "sketchy" situations during their extensive technical diving careers,. Their narrowest escapes involve equipment failures, entanglements, and high-pressure decision- making at depth. These experiences shaped their ethos that "copying skips understanding" and led them to focus on creating highly reliable, redundant equipment for the technical diving community Beyond diving, the duo detail their significant contributions to military defense projects and their vital role in producing ventilator control systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation highlights the importance of rigorous equipment testing, the evolution of diving electronics, and the value of recovering maritime artifacts to preserve social history. Ultimately, the founders advocate for professional mentorship and the continuous pursuit of safety within the niche global diving community.

This week on The BiG Scuba Podcast, Gemma and Ian chat to Jason Pritchard. Adventure has always been at the heart of who Jason is. Ever since His first dive back in 2009, he has been captivated by the mysteries of the ocean — from uncovering hidden wrecks to exploring the unknown. What started as curiosity soon became a calling. By 2018, Jason had earned his certification as a professional instructor, and today, as a PADI Course Director. He is very proud to help shape the next generation of divers through calm, safety-first guidance and real-world experience.
For Jason, shipwrecks are the ultimate adventure. Each one tells a story, a blend of history, danger, and discovery frozen in time beneath the waves. Diving isn't just a pastime; it's stepping into another world, one where every shadow might hold a secret waiting to be found.
In 2022, he faced his toughest challenge yet: a life-threatening bend caused by a PFO. That experience could have ended his diving journey, but instead, it reshaped it. It taught him discipline, patience, and a deep sense of gratitude for every single dive he makes.
These days, Jason is diving deeper, exploring legendary wrecks like Scapa Flow, advancing his technical diving, and preparing for the next frontier: rebreathers. Jason recently become Sidemount qualified, adding another level of flexibility and efficiency to his dives. Beneath the waves, Jason finds peace, focus, and an endless sense of wonder.
No matter how far he travels or how deep he explores, Jason will never lose sight of the simple joy of discovery. Every puddle, big or small, holds its own adventure. That spirit of curiosity keeps Jason pushing boundaries, chasing secrets, and living the ultimate underwater journey. Social Media Links

This week on The BiG Scuba Podcast, Gemma and Ian sit down with Scott Divitt, owner of West Coast Diving in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland.
His whole life has been about the water. It started as a kid, messing about with boats and sailing, which led him straight into the Royal Navy after secondary school. After leaving the navy Scott started working as an ROV Pilot, and now works freelance as an ROV Supervisor. He gets paid to drive robots and manage operations in tough marine environments!
On the fun side, Scott is a massive fan of diving, especially sidemount. He is a RAID Instructor for both regular and sidemount diving, and loves showing people what an amazing underwater world we have.
When Scott is not teaching or guiding super-yacht dives on Scotland's west coast, he ca be found in the workshop. Thanks to his long engineering background, he expertly handles the technical side of the business, testing cylinders and servicing dive gear.
Scotts background gives his a pretty unique take on diving. Whether it's the high-tech demands of his day job or teaching a new diver, it all comes back to a lifelong love for the ocean.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Barry McGill. Barry McGill is a deep wreck photographer and CCR instructor trainer with Indepth Technical. His main area of focus is exploration of deep-water shipwrecks around the Irish coastline, and he has been fortunate enough to discover and explore many significant previously undiscovered shipwrecks.
Exploring iconic shipwrecks such as the R.M.S. Justicia, H.M.S. Audacious and R.M.S. Lusitania has left a significant impression on Barry, which helped develop his desire to discover and explore shipwrecks.
Barry aims to share his passion for shipwreck exploration by capturing and sharing his images of many previously unphotographed shipwrecks including R.M.S. Amazon, H.M.S. Viknor and H.M.S. D6.
Barry has also been part of many international shipwreck expeditions, most recently in September 2021 where he formed part of an international team of divers who undertook the first internal exploration of HMHS Britannic which lies in 120 m of water in the Kea Channel in Greece. This expedition was funded by the Explorers Club and aimed to document key internal elements of the ship which had never been accessed by divers previously.

Gemma and Ian were invited to the pre-release press screening of Last Breath prior to its public release in late February 2025.
It’s a heart-pounding film that follows seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface. Based on a true story, Last Breath is an electrifying story about teamwork, resilience, and a race against time to do the impossible.
Gemma and Ian then interviewed Alex Parkinson, director/co-writer and David Brooks, co-writer/producer about the filming. Also included is our conversation with the real life diver who is central to the film, Chris Lemons.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Lisa Blair. Lisa is an Australian Adventurer, Climate Activist, Author, Speaker and Multi-World Record holding sailor.
On May 25th, 2022, Lisa achieved her latest milestone by becoming the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica, shaving 10 days off the previous record. During this record-setting journey, Lisa seized the opportunity to amplify her message of Climate Action Now and collaborated with a number of scientific organizations such as the Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Seabed 2030 project. Lisa's commitment to ocean health was evident as she deployed eight weather drifter buoys, one A.R.G.O research float, collected round-the-clock ocean health readings, and gathered over 180 microplastic samples, all while braving the perils of the world's most treacherous ocean for an astounding 92 days. Through her partnership with Ocean Ops, Lisa's expedition earned recognition as a United Nations Decade of Ocean Science initiative.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Luke Bullus. Luke Bullus is the Diving Officer and a trustee of the marine conservation charity Fathoms Free.
Fathoms Free is a group of experienced volunteer divers and skippers committed to protecting marine wildlife and the environment. They focus on removing ALDFG (abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear) and other marine debris from the coastal waters of Cornwall and Devon. ALDFG, often referred to as "ghost gear", continues to "fish" by entangling, trapping, and killing wildlife indiscriminately.
Since its inception in 2014, Fathoms Free has led initiatives to remove these hazardous materials from the ocean, preventing further damage to the marine environment. The charity also collaborates with and supports other organisations by using its boats and experienced skippers to assist with conservation efforts that contribute to a cleaner, safer ocean for everyone. Over the past decade, Fathoms Free has become a leading advocate for healthier oceans, inspiring collective action to protect marine ecosystems for future generations.
Luke is passionate about the marine environment and dedicates most of his free time to ghost gear recovery operations and ocean conservation.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Aniela Martin. Aniela Martin is a scuba diver and an offshore hydrographic surveyor, working as part of a large team out at sea mapping the seabed and collecting geological information.
Aniela has a deep passion for the underwater world that began after her first ever scuba dive whilst on holiday as a teenager. Having just finished high school she wasn’t sure what career path to take but her first adventure into the underwater world sparked a passion and strong curiosity for all things in the sea. Aniela went on to study Oceanography at Southampton university and during her studies became a PADI divemaster, working the summer breaks at a dive centre in Southern Italy.
Aniela has been working as a hydrographic surveyor for three years now which involves mapping the seabed for various scopes such as scientific research, projects concerning green energy installations- wind farms, and communication links. Most of the projects she works on involve the use of ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) which use cutting edge technology allowing high resolution data, especially in deep water.
Aniela’s passion, aside from the underwater world is communication - Being able to convey her love for the big blue.

In this episode join us in conversation with Maria Munn. Maria is a multi-award winning underwater photographer, author, journalist and shark stalker, who fell in love with whale sharks and the ocean whilst in hospital on the end-of-life pathway, after being run over for the second time and left with 15 fractures and life-changing injuries. She launched the first ever underwater photography courses in 2005, ran PADI's first ever Digital Underwater Photography Course for beginners with Emperor Divers using compact cameras and over 20 of her guests have gone on to win prizes and become established writers and photographers. She loves to chat to visitors about all things ocean, recycled plastics and teach youngsters about what can be found on our local beaches and about local marine life through snorkelling courses from her Ocean Studio in Swanage, Dorset where she also designs and creates personalised ocean gifts and canvas prints both from her own work as well as visitors. She also has just launched a new book and the UK's first dedicated underwater photography school for beginners to show how beginners can also create beautiful imagery with both Phones and Go Pros as well as compact cameras.
Gemma and Ian also discuss what they have been up to recently too.

The Farne Islands are in the North East of the UK and have numerous dive sites only a short distance from the mainland and the harbour and coastal town of Seahouses.
Our trip was organised by our local dive centre, Christal Seas Scuba https://www.scuba4me.co.uk/ and Sovereign Diving https://www.sovereigndiving.co.uk/ looked after us over the weekend.
We stayed at the best B&B we know called Malabar https://malabar-seahouses.co.uk/
Here are links to the dive sites around the Farne Islands https://www.sovereigndiving.co.uk/wreck-diving.html and here is a bit more information about the new dive site we visited, The Coryton https://www.lindisfarne.org.uk/shipwrecks/3.htm
We also enjoyed great food at Bamburgh Castle Seahouses, https://www.inncollectiongroup.com/bamburgh-castle-inn/ and Italian food at Insieme https://www.insieme-seahouses.co.uk/ and then amazing Italian food and service in Edinburgh at Gordons Trattoria https://www.gordonstrattoria.com/
If you would like more detailed information about our trip then do email or send us a DM and we have a PDF guide with more information.

In this episode join us in conversation with Sally Cartwright. Saly started diving 1993 after an injury on a mountaineering trip. After a bet with a local dive club and a successful try dive, Sally took up the challenge and a new life direction. Early into her diving career she found herself using mixed gas and rebreathers. Finding herself at the bottom of Dorothea Quarry at 107m or scouring the seabed looking for new shipwrecks of the English Channel pretty much became a way of life for Sally as it does many others.
Sally became involved with diving agencies and then went back to school and qualified to teach TDI Inspiration rebreathers. However, she decided that this career was not for her and started to investigate hyperbaric medicine.
During the pandemic her ambulance work and diving world collided and she started working for Midlands Diving Chamber, firstly as a Chamber Attendant and progressed into management.
Sally has worked on some high-profile projects including the Bluebird Project that involved raising Bluebird, Donald Campbell’s water speed record boat and Donald himself from the depths of Coniston Water in 2001. Since then, the team have restored Bluebird and successfully ran her on the Isle of Bute in 2018.
Sally champions the diving industry’s support in all that she has achieved The diving industry is not a rich one so any help just boosts morale and spreads the word what a wonderful sport we have, especially in the UK. Sally is well known for organising social diving trips and now on the road to recovery after knee surgery is looking forward to getting back out in the deep again.

Gemma and Ian visited DEEP and were hosted by Phil Short, Research Diving, Training Lead. We were given a tour of the facility at Avonmouth and then over to the Campus at Tidenham.
DEEP is evolving how humans access, explore and inhabit underwater environments. Through flexible, modular and mobile subsea habitats that allow humans to live undersea up to 200m for up to 28 days, work-class submarines, and advanced human performance research, DEEP completely transforms what we are capable of underwater and how we conduct undersea science and research.

Beneath the aqua blue waters of the North Norfolk coastline is a hidden world of marine magic.Diver Chris Taylor has lived in Sheringham all his life and has snorkeled the offshore chalk reef since he was a teenager.
Recently, he started filming his trips. Chris Taylor was born and bred in Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast and absolutely loves this area. He did a degree in Marine Biology, a spent year travelling and diving in Australia.
At 20 miles long and six miles wide, it is the largest chalk reef in Europe. It's a 100 million years old and teeming with life - edible and velvet crabs, lobsters, starfish, anemones and jellyfish can all be seen easily.

Gemma and Ian chat to Hayley Adlam. Hayley has been crowned, Miss Scuba International 2023 and at the time of our interview she was a finalist about to embark on the competition in Malaysia.
Having worked in the offshore industry alongside commercial divers for over a decade, Hayley dived into the world of Miss Scuba UK after seeing a noticeable gender gap not only within the recreational diving world (only 39% of registered PADI divers are women (2021)) but more notably, within the commercial dive sector where a minute proportion of women are represented.
Hayley, as a part of this year’s Miss Scuba UK team duo, aims to inspire other women to not only try scuba diving, but also show that there are plenty of opportunities within the commercial diving sector for all genders through sharing her knowledge and experience of the offshore world.
“During my time operating on offshore wind farm construction and subsea telecommunications vessels, there was a noticeable lack of women in the commercial dive teams working on our projects. I was inspired by the ethos of the Miss Scuba UK foundation whereby one of the primary aims is to encourage other women to take the plunge beneath the waves”.
Miss Scuba UK aims to create a safe space for women to explore the opportunities that learning to SCUBA dive has to offer and as an organisation, it has well and truly fulfilled this mission over the past 8 years. After a four year break due to COVID-19 it is now a case of continuing this work and engaging more women to take the plunge.

Gemma and Ian chat to Mallory Haas. Mallory is a maritime archaeologist who is originally from the Great Lakes in the US. Mallory started working with the SHIPS Project in 2013 and is now a director and chief archaeologist for the Project.
A recent venture is The 1000 Tyres Project, which came about while looking for shipwrecks with the University of Plymouth Hydrography school, while searching we found thousands of tyres on the seabed in Plymouth Sound. The 1000 Tyres Project aims to help clean up Plymouth Sound National Marine Park by removing tyres and other abandoned junk, and Mallory leads this first environmental initiative by the SHIPS Project.

There, at an early age, he discovered a passion for diving during a demo dive with the local rescue team.

Now based in Mexico, in the heart of cave country, he teaches cave-diving courses both here and around the planet.

Gemma and Ian chat to Jeff Seckendorf. Jeff is the Co-Founder and Current CEO/Owner of Unified Team Diving. The UTD tagline is "Great scuba training does not have to be focused on the outcome. It can be about the process." A great scuba training program should include so much more than what can be covered in a simple certification course.
In the UTD Scuba Coaching program you work with a coach who delivers a new set of "workouts" every week. These can be in-water exercises, academic classes and homework, equipment management, and much more. You have as much communication with your coach as you need as you are guided through a customized training program to reach your goals. The overall concept is to slow the training process down from a few days to a few months or more.
Jeff takes us through the UTD system and tells us about himself too.

Gemma and Ian chat to Oliver Rowe and Michelle Gasgarth from Ford UK. Oliver and Michelle tell us about their roles within Ford UK about Ford’s journey to building a better world and the action they have taken and will take in sustainability. Ford have been committed to sustainability for many years and in but as the world becomes so much more focused on planet protection, they are bringing out initiatives and reports to support their journey of sustainability.
Ford of Britain has been number one commercial vehicle brand for 57 years, and is rolling out an electrified range so that, by 2026, 100% of our cars will be zero-emissions capable, all-electric or plug-in hybrid. The UK is Ford’s third-largest global market and accounts for around 30% of total Ford vehicle sales in Europe. Ford directly employs 6,500 people in the UK, with thousands more employed in its extensive dealer network. The Ford Britain Dunton Campus in Essex is the home of its European commercial vehicle business group, the Ford of Britain & Ireland sales company and Ford’s banking arm – Ford Credit Europe.
Oliver Rowe has been in the Ford press office since 1999, joining from local newspapers. Before training as a journalist, he had worked in France and Germany for the former Rover / Land Rover group in parts and distribution. The Ford press office brings together both specialisms – communications and languages within automotive!
Michelle Gasgarth has been at Ford since 2012 and has a wealth of experience in different functions throughout the organisation from Purchasing to Sales to Customer Experience to Marketing. Outside of Ford my ambition is to get as many young people inspired about the outdoors and nature as I possibly can. Having worked as a volunteer Duke of Edinburgh Award leader to being a parent scout leader today it is something I am passionate about – to understand nature, you have to be in nature.

Gemma and Ian chat to Steve Lewis. Steve Lewis’s main aim in life was to dig fossils out of rocks and make historic finds as a paleontologist… or to win a Nobel Prize in the field of Physics and get well-paying tenure at MIT or CalTech. No surprises: he did neither. He is however an author, blogger, painter, cave diver, and a wanna-be cartoonist. When asked what he does for a living, he might admit to being Vice-President of Marketing for a diver certification agency, but more often he’ll tell people he tries to save people from drowning.

Gemma and Ian chat to Ross McLaren Ross is a chemistry teacher in Scotland who dives at the weekends…He talks about the incredible life he seas in the Scottish sea lochs and how breath taking it is. He has been taking photos using a go pro and more recently the Olympus TG-6. One of the highlights has been working with BBC Scotland and their online platform “BBC the Social” to write, record, present and produce some short videos about diving. The topics have ranged from diving itself and how its helped his mental health, to history of some of our incredible shipwrecks, our impact on the underwater world and even a little one on photography.
As Ross says “I’m no expert in marine biology, history, photography or even diving, I am literally someone who loves taking photos of our underwater world and trying to show it off to the world in what little ways I can”

Gemma and Ian chat to Chef Anton. Chef Anton is an IDC Staff Instructor with over 500 logged dives and is also an Award-Winning Magician from Hollywood’s Magic Castle. You may have seen his appearance of Penn and Teller’s Fool Us. Chef has created a brand new PADI Distinctive Specialty called Scuba Magician which has now over 500 instructors world-wide.
The course teaches divers 15 magic tricks they can do during a safety stop. Think of it as 15 tricks for 15 feet. No prior magical skills are needed and all of the tricks are hand-selected to reinforce important scuba concepts such as Narcosis, Nitrogen Absorption, and even Decompression Sickness. For students, they become empowered with fun and easy to perform magic tricks that can make any dive unique and memorable.
For Instructors, the course has even more added value. Instructors gain an arsenal of non-diving training aids they can use to teach any PADI course from Open Water up through the IDC. They gain exclusive access to a Database of magic exclusively designed for scuba instructors as well as an invitation to an Instructor Only Forum which offers an infrastructure for like-minded instructors to share concepts, ideas, and grow as educators/ambassadors for the sport we all love.

Gemma and Ian talk to Homer Hickman. . Homer Hickam, is a world-class Scuba diver and the New York Times best-selling author of Rocket Boys, the most read book in U.S. schools, which was adapted for the big screen as the now-beloved classic film, October Sky based on Homer's life as a young rocket engineer growing up in Coalwood, West Virgnia. His latest book 'Don't Blow Yourself Up' is a memoir on what happens after Coalwood where he talks about scuba diving and its crucial role in training astronauts for weightlessness in space. Homer became a deep-sea diver at far-flung oceans and islands around the globe and discovered previously unknown sunken WWII German U-boats in the Mid Atlantic, which led Hickam to write the first-ever definitive account of secret naval battles just off the North Carolina coast “Torpedo Junction” for Naval Institute Press.

Gemma and Ian talk to Aoibheann Gillespie-Mules. Aoibheann (pronounced E-Fin) grew up along the gorgeous NW coast of Ireland so was drawn to the ocean from an early age. She finished a Bachelor in Marine Science then participated in a whale shark project in Mozambique and ultimately knew she wanted nothing more than to be under the surface daily. She travelled to the tropics to begin professional training in the diving industry. Aoibheann , during lockdown co-authored a bi-lingual children’s book ‘Ocean Adventures with Cory,’ with a dear friend (founder of Oceanus Conservation) - a project focussing on ensuring that ocean literacy is accessible to the local communities that rely on the marine environment. Throughout her diving career she has always been fascinated with marine life beauty and photographing their incredible structures. By sharing the beauty of the marine environment through images (www.coralreefbeauty.com) she hopes to help educate and spread more awareness, highlighting the importance of these amazing marine ecosystems.

Leigh Bishop is one of the most accomplished and well-known technical divers in the world. He first began diving during the late 1980’s in the English Channel, a virtual museum of over 5000 known shipwrecks. Being one of the first sport divers in England to adapt to using mixed, gas he was in a position to explore countless virgin deep shipwrecks around the British Isles. His passion, research and dedication led him to identify scores of previously unknown sites as well as discovering famous wrecks.
During the 1990’s he led the first expedition to explore a shipwreck deeper than 100m in European waters, the British battleship HMS King Edward VII.
As a pioneer of deep shipwreck photography, his iconic images, originally shot on monochrome film, have graced the covers of magazines and books around the world. During the ‘hey day’ of technical diving, he captured just about every high-profile shipwreck expedition with stills and as a deep-water cameraman for television. His photography and writing has inspired many to pick up a camera themselves and write books themselves.
Above water he is a fellow international member of the Explorers Club and a prolific writer and lecturer of shipwreck exploration globally. He lives in England and has three children.

Gemma and Ian chat to Rob Spray. Rob Spray and his partner Dawn Watson are coordinators of the Marine Conservation Society’s Seasearch project in East Anglia Seasearch is a project for scuba divers and snorkellers who want to learn more and want to help protect the marine environment around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. All the courses are listed here; http://www.seasearch.org.uk/
Have a listen and be inspired to try some UK diving. Don’t forget to listen to Episode 72 when we talk to another Seasearch Volunteer, Kat Gerasimova, she now is running a course via a local dive centre, Christal Seas Scuba about shore diving. Check out the links below.
Norfolk's Twin Wreck Challenge - Seasearch East
By odd coincidence the 5 mile stretch of coast between Cley-next-the-sea and Weybourne, in North Norfolk, hosts two wrecks from the Great War within swimming distance of the shore.
http://www.1townhouses.co.uk/pelagicpixels/tripreports/veraandrosalie.htm
North Norfolk's chalk reef - 20 miles of dives!
Diving in Norfolk revolves around the tides. It's the difference between a nice dive and horror stories of being carried off down the coast. You may find that your threshold for current is higher or lower, most divers prefer to dive at dead slack.
http://www.1townhouses.co.uk/pelagicpixels/tripreports/chalkreefguide.htm
We have a fair few videos online too, some are scenic and there are lots of talks, site guides and snippets. You can browse through all of them... https://www.youtube.com/user/reallymadrob/videos
But this is a highlight reel made for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust

He has journeyed to both poles, orbited the planet, explored jungles, peered into volcanoes and hunted meteorites and more recently visited the depths of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. He visited Challenger Deep, the lowest known point in the world’s oceans, in a titanium-shelled Triton submersible called Limiting Factor. Richard Garriott is a Cambridge-born British-American computer game entrepreneur too. Have a listen out for what he found at the bottom of our ocean!

It’s a year since Gemma and Ian spoke with Cristina Zenato and produced Episodes 9, 12 and 21. We also spoke to Kevin Lorenzen on Episode 13. The year of 2020 was challenging for everyone but we hear that for both Cristina and Kewin it was a positive year with changes made to bring them both into 2021 with fresh ideas. We hear how the sharks are and what amazing progress has been made with the cave exploration and the People of the Water Charity.

Roz brings us news about a campaign being launched by the Rebreather Training Council https://rebreathertrainingcouncil.org/ Its encouraging all rebreather divers to use a checklist every time they ht the water. A checklist is probably the cheapest piece of life support equipment a technical diver will own, but it will look after you, dive after dive. We talk about how a recreational diver can prepare a similar checklist too.
AP diving is a UK based company https://www.apdiving.com/en/ and has recently developed and manuafactured a new rebreather strap.
We talk about physical dive fitness and the mental fitness too. Roz is involved in https://www.facebook.com/groups/timetosurface. It’s a facebook group that is a safe space for exploring ideas above and below the surface. There will be some free workshops so do take some time to register to take part.

Ian and Gemma chat Emily Turton. She is a dive boat skipper in Scapa. She holds an MCA Masters ticket for vessels <200gt, an RYA Commercial Yachtmaster ticket and a Boat Masters licence for passenger vessels.
Emily lectures in Maritime Studies for the University of Highlands and Islands of Orkney and has guided many other local skippers through their MCA Masters Orals exams. She is also an RYA Instructor delivering theory and radar courses in Orkney and practical courses through the Sports Scotland National Waters Sports Centre in Cumbrae.
Emily’s knowledge of the wrecks in Scapa is unsurpassed. She is a CCR trimix diver and when not looking after divers is never happier than when she is underwater herself.

Ian and Gemma chat to Ken and Kimber Kiefer, a husband-and-wife team. Ken Kiefer is an award-winning underwater photographer based out of Houston, TX. His goal is to create stunning imagery that builds love and wonder for the underwater world. He does a majority of his work with large predators; sharks, crocodiles, and rays, but also likes to show the beautiful interactions of humans with these often-misunderstood animals. Ken brings an artistic twist to submerged visions, whether it be oceans, or swimming pools. Kimber—a native Texan—loves the adventure of traveling, exploring the ocean, and underwater modelling in all settings. She and her husband Ken Kiefer work as a team to create underwater art. They have a passion for everything underwater and use it as a platform to educate and share their experiences with others, with hopes that it motivates and inspires others in their life goals and dreams. Kimber usually finds herself modelling in front of Ken s camera or shooting behind the scenes images. Lately, she has started creating her own brand of underwater art too. If its underwater .. they make it look good!

Ian and Gemma chat Autumn Blum. Autumn Blum, Founder and CEO of Stream2Sea. Stream2Sea was founded in 2015 in Wauchula, FL after a dive trip in Palau made CEO & Founder Autumn realize that the products we put on our bodies have many ingredients that could be highly toxic to our fragile aquatic ecosystem and even to us. Today, Stream2Sea is the only mineral based sunscreen on the planet that’s been tested and proven safe for freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and coral larvae, and has passed the stringent HEL Labs Protect Land + Sea certification
All products in the Stream2Sea line have passed an extensive range of tests – from microscopic C. elegans and freshwater fish to sensitive coral larva in the Florida Keys. Many products out there now claim to be reef-safe, and some of which are and some aren’t because ‘reef-safe’ is not a government-regulated term. Stream2Sea has done the rigorous, expensive, scientific work to prove that our formulations are safe for our waters, making us the marine professionals choice and hopefully yours too.

Ian and Gemma chat to Kirk Krack. For over two decades, Kirk Krack has developed education and certification programs with one goal: to improve safety in freediving. Through his leadership and participation in various projects, Kirk has contributed to the advancement of the scientific study of hypoxic effects on the human body and to the conservation of our oceans and its creatures. In 2016, in recognition of his sustained and valuable contributions, he was named the Diver’s Alert Network (DAN)/Rolex Diver of the Year.
Kirk’s unique wealth of experience and talent for teaching have made his services highly sought after by those who want and need the absolute best. Among the individuals Kirk has trained are Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson for their underwater roles in the blockbuster feature film Mission: Impossible–Rogue Nation, Margot Robbie and her stunt double for their underwater roles in Suicide Squad (in which Kirk also served as a credited on-screen stunt double for Batman), endurance performer and illusionist David Blaine for his world record breath-hold attempts live on the Oprah Winfrey Show (he survived over 17 minutes on a single breath of oxygen-enriched air), Tiger Woods, Lindsey Vonn, and Woody Harrelson. Most recently, he's worked with actors on the set of James Cameron's upcoming Avatar 2, the sequel to the epic Avatar film.

Ian and Gemma chat to Marcus Greatwood. He is a freediver and a Senior Coach at NoTanx. NoTanx is a club. Marcus started freediving in 1999, Loic Leferme said to him “you have to start a club - great things only happen when you have a group of people to make them happen” Since then NoTanx has enabled a lot of people to interact with the Oceans & Lakes. Marcus says freediving always comes back to enjoying where you are at that moment - underwater, weightless, timeless - and that feeling is accessible by everyone.

I am a dive master and have been for five or so years... I started out as a recreational diver and wanted to progress a little bit further. Keen on all things outdoors.. Kayaking, Paddleboarding and enjoy crossfit and gym,.. Gemma is currently working towards her open Water qualification although that is on hold at the moment as we are in lockdown. Gemma iis also a fan of being on the water and decided to give the underwater environment a go too. Main aim is to promote the scuba diving sport in terms of the recreactional side and what other options are out there too.. and this also leads to us wanting to promote more women to give scuba a go too. Along side this we want to show our respect for the ocean, lakes and rivers in terms of conservation and general respect. |
