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.

  • A Conversation with WreckSploration
    Feb 4 2026

    From conception to reality, its difficult to fathom how many lives crossed paths with the HNLMS K XI. For around twenty-five years, twenty which were in service, she would have had daily interactions with engineers, builders, service man, captains, crew, and various other individuals along the way. In September of 1946, this would all come to an end. A mystery would be born and this submarine would sit at the bottom of the ocean for close to eighty years. A lifetime without interaction, a lifetime waiting to be found.

    In 2025 a team of dedicated divers known as WreckSploration would solve the mystery and through photogrammetry bring back to life the HNLMS K XI. In this episode, I speak with WreckSploration team members Gareth Glasgow and Martin Bovingdon as they take me through their journey in discovering this lost piece of history. A look into their methods, safety protocols, building a community and their goal of sharing wrecks with everyone. Please enjoy.

  • A Conversation with Priyamvada Tiwari
    Nov 19 2025

    Dive shops are some of my favorite places. An atmosphere of learning, a melting pot of characters, an opportunity to discover new friendships. While spending some time at Tek Deep Asia last year, I had the opportunity to meet Priyamvada Tiwari. Originally from India, she came to Amed for training. It was great to have her on the podcast to hear her story of how it all began and how it's going. From Open Water to Instructor, Recreational to Technical, Local diving around India, a mission to see more women in the industry, and much more. Please enjoy.
