“the poor have it easy”
I’ve had my nose to the ground for all of 2014, and no sooner do I look up to check my direction when 2015 makes its splash. Where did the year go? As I reflect back on what my peers have suggested was an incredibly successful 2014, despite my being a bit hypercritical of ‘progress’,…

This excites me and gives me hope for a future life aquatic – Bruce Cantrell and Jessica Fain just recently surfaced from a record-breaking 73 day stay underwater at Jules Undersea Lodge in the Florida Keys. The mission marked an ambitious effort to reach out, engage, and educate, all from an alien world that rests…
Read MoreCultural Changes in Diving, a response
Having just read Travis Detke’s welcoming editorial in the recent Ocean News & Technology magazine (December 2014), I feel compelled to respond. The short is well written, and frankly hits the nail on the head in identifying the current state of the aquatic state. Two points resonated most, where: 1. both the physics and physiology…

Well, it’s that time of year yet again. As the holidays bring us all together to eat big and partake in the typical holiday camaraderie, it can prove to be a rather distracting period of time for the serial entrepreneur. This Thanksgiving weekend, I kept my eye on the ball and managed to take advantage…
Read Morea VERY brief visit to Hong Kong
As I made my way through airport security in Boston, a few things hit me. First, it dawned on me that I’ve barely recovered from the lengthy travel during the recent #exosuitproject at #Antikythera in Greece. Second was that for some reason, the travel process was smoother than ever – perhaps a function of both…
Read More'Falling' in at Ft. Wetherill
Having more completely off-gassed from the three week #Antikythera #exosuitproject in Greece, I felt I had a much needed obligation to realign myself with a quick dive here at home. With kids in the mix, that means a constant shuffle to do anything much ‘fun’ for yourself, so I made a very early start (everyone…

Wow, what a stretch – despite Greece being a new work locale for me, the start of the ‘Return to Antikythera‘ expedition set in as old hat. As these things go, challenges are defined, solutions are identified, and then it comes down to putting together all the pieces with a degree of flexibility to meet…

In just a couple of short weeks, we’re off on the Return to Antikythera Expedition. This year’s project has been in development for over a year, and builds on work dating to the very early 20th century when the Bronze age wreck site was first discovered by Greek sponge divers. Over the past several months, I have…
Read MoreLessons From The Last Time Civilization Collapsed
This recent book review on NPR seemed to resonate a bit given the state of the world we are finding ourselves in: 1177BC, The Year Civilization Collapsed. It is an absolute truth that history repeats itself, as we are simply recycling matter and energy within a finite sphere. Sure, with time, this is shifted and…
