How Leading Divers See The Future of CCR Over the last two decades, the use of closed-circuit rebreathers (CCR) has grown steadily in the sports diving community, primarily among technical and working divers such as photographers and filmmakers, who can benefit from the rebreathers’ extended range capabilities.

More DetailsInitially, we simply called it diving. It had no other name. Some of us dived in caves, primarily to explore and map. Tourist dives only tested equipment or procedures, or train us to explore further. Others dived on shipwrecks; real shipwrecks with history and treasure, not the artificial reefs many today call shipwrecks. We sometimes learned the hard way. We had no manuals; these came later. It was a “game of ghosts” as the community tried to work out what went wrong and develop standards to prevent history from repeating itself.

More DetailsEver since the 1975 blockbuster film Jaws, people have been terrified of great white sharks. This fear is often without much reason, as few US beachgoers were likely to encounter one of these predators. That is changing, however. Last month, researchers thought they spotted a great white shark off of Long Island Sound in New York (paywall). In Florida, scientists recently spotted two great whites in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The return of great white sharks, due in large part to conservation efforts, is prompting scientists to focus on ways humans and sharks can better live—if not swim—side by side.

More DetailsMastery of CCR Diving is a Series of Baby Steps! Written By A Technical Diver/Instructor - Mr Randy Thornton (Sub Gravity) Due to my post last week about standards violations, I received a fair bit of hate mail as well as legitimate questions from divers and instructors seeking further clarification on my comments. Consequently, I have decided to write a series of short posts explaining my philosophy on CCR training in general as well as my suggestions on how we as an industry can step up our game to improve CCR dive safety and hopefully improve the level of training as well as personal diving practice.
More DetailsSome people have asked us how to differentiate between a good teacher or a sub standard/ snobbish one... Sharing with all, our past years of experiences in the selection and the engaging of our Scuba diving instructors here. Its not just about the pricing of course, its way more beyond that, and that's the extra mile that students are in search for. Of course, then you should be the best student so that not to give headaches to your coaching instructors. :)
