The Art of Self
Among the most humbling reasons why I have chosen to make my living underwater is the renewed focus on being centered. What does this mean exactly? Well, to start, I can’t help but mention situational awareness. Day after day of simply walking down the street, one will inevitably cross paths with someone who is not…
Read Morerebreathers | managing your ‘atmosphere’
Those actively pursuing any form of underwater activities these days are at the very least acutely aware of rebreather technology. Its benefits are well proven and documented, training programs are well established, and the development/manufacturing community is ‘slowly’ making strides towards performance and quality assurance consensus standards. The underlying problem is that this technology is…

About ten years ago, I offered a lecture at a science symposium that was geared towards the concept of a ‘business of exploration’ and ‘business of science’.

Read MoreAtlantis Uncovered
The Discovery Channel’s ‘Atlantis Uncovered’ does a great job debunking the theory of Atlantis. While scientific evidence may not support Plato’s writings, I urge you to take a different perspective. Perhaps ‘Atlantis’ is yet to come. The ideology of the Lost City is one is ingrained in many elements of our society and culture. I…

Since the start of the 21st century, rebreathers have become the accepted norm for pursuing more routine expeditious intervention of the ocean. This technology is quite simple, as it basically recycles the diver’s exhalations, removing poisonous CO2, then monitoring the gas, and providing some means to add oxygen that has been metabolized by the diver.…
