🎙️ NEW EPISODE OUT NOW! 🤿

Episode 237 – David Strike: Six Decades of Diving!

What happens when you have more than 60 years of diving experience to draw on? You get one seriously fascinating conversation! 🌊

Gemma and Ian chat to David Strike, whose extraordinary life in diving has taken him from learning to dive with BSAC in 1961, to the Royal Navy, oceanographic research, commercial diving in the North Sea, technical diving, rebreathers, teaching, writing, publishing and some of the most influential diving events and conferences around the world.

David was one of Australia’s early pioneers of technical diving and the first recreational diver in Australia to dive with Nitrox.

He has written hundreds of articles, authored books, helped shape diving education and media, organised major diving conferences and received several Lifetime Achievement Awards. He is also a Fellow of the Explorers Club of New York.

But behind all those achievements is something we love hearing about on The BiG Scuba Podcast — a genuine lifelong passion for diving. ❤️🤿

So, whether you are new to diving or have decades underwater yourself, there is something in this conversation for you.

🎧 Episode 237 is out now!
Listen wherever you get your podcasts and discover the incredible story of David Strike.

Episode 235 – Mark Walker of Dive Admin (Youtube edition)

📺Watch 👉https://youtu.be/ZsTkEl219e8👀

In this episiode Gemma and Ian chat to Mark Walker, a former UK dive instructor now based in Thailand and the founder of Dive Admin.
Mark shares his journey from learning to dive in Malta and becoming an instructor, to combining his diving experience with his background in technology to create software designed specifically for dive centres.

We talk about the challenges of running a dive centre, going paperless, managing bookings, students, staff and boat lists, and how technology – including AI – could help make dive operations more efficient.

Plus, Mark tells us about diving in Thailand, what gets him out of his comfort zone, and why he would fill a billboard with underwater footage to inspire the next generation of divers.
A fascinating conversation combining diving, technology and the business behind the dive industry.

What happens when you give two adventure-loving divers an Auto-Trail Expedition 68XL? 🚐🌊

You take the adventure with you!

We have packed in diving, paddleboarding, hiking, cycling, exploring… and plenty of campervan fun!

But it became so much more than an adventure base. We recorded The BiG Scuba Podcast 🎙️, edited episodes, worked our day jobs remotely 💻 and embraced the freedom of waking up somewhere new.

And honestly… the smiles say everything! 😍

Dreaming of campervan adventures? Come and see the Expedition 68XL at the Motorhome & Caravan Show at the NEC, or check out Auto-Trail online.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE – The BiG Scuba Podcast | Episode 236

This week we are joined by Nick Derutter from DiveSAGA — underwater filmmaker, scuba instructor trainer, technical diver and cave explorer. DOWNLOAD 🤿👉https://open.spotify.com/episode/3tlOGwF5Yy8OBfUx0NJRnJ?si=45BOCnzXQWa7Bsb2CQWt1Q&utm_source=copy-link🤿

Nick’s diving journey started with a Discover Scuba on the Great Barrier Reef, but it certainly did not stop there! 🌊🤿

We talk about his journey into professional diving and instructor training, why he deliberately keeps challenging himself by learning new skills such as sidemount, and what draws him into cave exploration.

Nick also tells us about a recent expedition in Slovenia, where the team explored highly protected caves, collected scientific samples, investigated possible connections between cave systems and even discovered the bones of an extinct cave bear. 🐻

And then there is the filmmaking. Nick explains how his background in film eventually came together with diving, leading to his DiveSAGA YouTube channel and Scuba Science — using video to educate, explain and inspire divers.

There is also a fascinating conversation around diving education, safety, redundancy, buoyancy, technical thinking and the responsibility of creating good, factual content in an age of AI.

It is a conversation packed with diving, exploration, education and plenty to think about.

It was awesome to be able to share some cave diving exploration stories at the Go Diving Show in Sydney. Rather than focusing on new projects, this was all about how resurvey in historic caves can lead to new discoveries….

Thanks to Mekan for the epic photos!
