Progression, much like individuality has no rules. What started out as a planned path can evolve into something different and unexpected, leading to results greater than we ever imagined. It was amazing to catch up with Jenn Thomson to speak about the completion of her Instructor Examination, her experience with Tech 1, different programs offered through Global Underwater Explorers, her path forward, and much more.

A Conversation with Aviad Cahana
Bringing change into a world anchored to its beliefs and philosophies is never an easy task. At one point, diving anything other than air was considered dangerous, J-valves without SPGs were common, dive tables were the standard in diving. Needless to say, innovation is always waiting on the surface ready to be greeted, much like a warm cup of tea between dives. In this episode, I sit down with Aviad Cahana, inventor of The Avelo Dive System.

A Conversation with Anand Chandra Sekaran
At a young age Anand Chandra Sekaran would be captivated by the documentary The Underground Eiger. This story of British Cave Explorers would be his motivation to pursue a career within the world of scuba diving. A journey that would propel him into a position of leadership. A role in which he mentors, guides, and ushers in the future torchbearers of the industry. With each course taught, he aims to level up the quality of training received, all while continuing his journey into the overhead environments of Southeast Asia. Please enjoy.

One of my favorite things after a dive is engaging in conversation with other divers. This joy I have found is one of the biggest motivators behind my starting the podcast. I am on a journey to meet other scuba-minded individuals. Hear about the different aspects of this world I love so much. I want to converse with people of all levels. Speak to beginners all the way up to the experts and leaders in their fields, learn, and soak up knowledge from my fellow divers. From the shallow reefs of Indonesia to the deep wrecks of the Great Lakes, cold water quarries to the warm tropical waters. I do not want anyone left out as I navigate through the Scubaverse. Fun, easygoing, to controversial topics. Let's talk about all of it. I am also on a personal journey of educating myself and seeking proper training as I move through different levels of this sport. With nothing to hide and everything to show, the frustrations, the joys, and everything in between. Join me as we gas it up with some of the wonderful characters inside this story called Scuba.
