EPISODE 48 IS LIVE!

From the warm waters of Mexico to the dark, cold caves and flooded mines of Scandinavia, Sara Banderby's diving journey is anything but ordinary!

In this episode, I sat down with Sara, a Swedish technical diver, cave and mine explorer, CCR instructor, and co-founder of The Cavettes.

We dive into the fascinating world of cave and mine exploration, rebreather diving, risk management, the role of technology, and her efforts to encourage more women into technical diving.

We also get to know the person behind the dive gear, exploring how she balances her professional career with her passion for underwater exploration.

This is what women in dive sports look like. 🙌🏻

Because of what we DO.

The training, the discipline, the challenges to overcome, the dives completed and the limits pushed.
Respect isn’t earned by appearance, it’s earned by your own hard work. ❤️

Inspired by @cinnadine ✨

First dive with the new camera done! Super excited and what a difference it is to the old one ☺️ Very excited to be able to bring more videos and scenes from the underwater world, working on my storytelling and explore our oceans, together with you guys!

Have to thank @fotografit.eu for amazing service and help with the underwater housing, @rogerhorrocks and the Ocean Footage Mastery for developing the cinematic eye, teaching the next generation of underwater cinematographers.

However, @joakimodelberg will always have a special place in my journey,being an underwater cinematographer, a fantastic mentor, that believed in me, lent me gear so I could evolve and supported me when many others didn’t.
I hope some day I will be able to repay the kindness, or pay it forward. ☺️

Also, shoutout to my husband that is okay with my spending 💸💸🫣

Come with us into Amphitrite Cave, named after the Greek goddess and queen of the sea!

The cave formed in limestone through the slow dissolution of carbonate rock by slightly acidic groundwater, a process known as speleogenesis. Over hundreds of thousands of years, this created passages and chambers where stalactites and stalagmites formed while the cave was above sea level during periods of lower sea levels in the Ice Ages.
As the climate warmed and glaciers melted, rising seas gradually flooded the cave around 8,000–9,000 years ago, preserving these formations beneath the Aegean Sea.

The entrance lies at approximately 6 metres below the surface, accessible only by boat. The cave consists of two main lines. Inside, corals and other wildlife grows🤩

The water temperature is relatively stable at 17–19°C throughout the year. Inside, we pass through passages containing stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone and other speleothems that formed when the cave was dry. White sediment covers many of these formations, reflecting the cave’s transition from a terrestrial environment to submerged.

Amphitrite offers a glimpse into both the geological evolution of the Aegean and the changing sea levels that shaped the region since the last Ice Age.

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British twin-engine heavy fighter developed during the Second World War. Nicknamed the ”Beau,” it was one of the RAF’s most versatile aircraft, serving as a night fighter, long-range escort, anti-shipping strike aircraft, and ground-attack platform.

The Beaufighter wreck off Naxos, Greece, was discovered in 2007 after local divers spent more than a year searching the area based on stories from fishermen and island residents who remembered an Allied aircraft ditching there during the war.
Historical research identified it as Beaufighter TF Mk X LX998 (”Y”) of No. 603 Squadron RAF.
The aircraft was part of a strike force attacking German shipping around Paros and Naxos in late 1943. During the mission it was hit by German anti-aircraft fire and crash-landed in the sea, where it sank in about 34 metres of water.

Today, the aircraft rests on the seabed, with great visibility and warm temperature of 22C. Good weather is needed to dive the wreck☺️

The Marianna Wreck is a cargo ship resting between Paros and Naxos in the Cyclades at a depth of approximately 23–24 meters.
Built in 1961 as the Niels Maersk, the vessel ran aground on Amaras Reef in 1981 while carrying a mixed cargo. After the accident, parts of the ship was salvaged and the bow was blown to pieces, leaving the stern section on the seabed where it remains today.

Boasting 24 meter visibility, 22C water temperature and most of the fun superstructure at 18-17 meters of depth, open water certified divers can enjoy this🤩 or even snorklers!

This. Scuba diving is more than a hobby. It is a way of life, part of my identity. ❤️

Every minute of my day I am thinking about it. And I could not be more grateful to be able to work full time in the scuba diving industry. It is a dream come true.

Always safe with @daneurope ❤️‍🩹

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women out there. The moms, the mentors, the dive buddies, the explorers and the ones quietly holding everything together. 🌊💙

Some raise children.
Some raise teams.
Some keep corals alive.
Some protect marine animals.
Some lovingly maintain a rebreather. 😅🤿

Today is for every woman who nurtures, supports, teaches, protects, inspires and shows strength beneath the surface and above it.

To the women making waves in diving and beyond thank you. 🙌

❤️‍🩹 Always safe with @daneurope

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT – Episode 226 is LIVE!

This week on The BiG Scuba Podcast, we bring you a truly gripping and unforgettable story with diver, adventurer, and author Dan Frolec.

Dan’s new book *The Cave* tells a powerful true story that goes far beyond diving. What started as a sailing and scuba trip in Croatia in 2002 quickly turned into a nightmare — a lost diver, a mysterious underwater cave, and shocking accusations that saw Dan wrongly imprisoned and fighting for his freedom.

In this episode, Dan opens up about:
🌊 The tragic events that inspired *The Cave*
⚖️ The emotional toll of being falsely accused
💪 Finding resilience in the face of injustice
🌍 His journey from corporate life in Prague to a completely new life in Bali

It’s raw, intense, and a reminder of just how unpredictable life — and diving — can be.

🎧 This is one you do NOT want to miss.

👉 Listen now: https://www.thebigscuba.com/podcast

As always, a big thanks to our sponsor Narked at 90 – “Beyond Technical.”
