Traveling can lead to unexpected situations that can have an impact on our future path. A new adventure would move Alicia Christman back onto a journey to start teaching scuba again. A journey that began in Texas and continues to flourish in the Pacific Northwest. As she continues to develop her skills, moving from recreational to technical to overhead, she most enjoys capturing images to aid in identifying all the creatures of the underwater world. Please enjoy! Recorded in June 2025Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/scuba_licia/iNaturalist Page:https://www.inaturalist.org/people/aliciachristmanAdditional Links:www.snowbirds-design.com

Naomi Allen would earn her first scuba certification on the island of Koh Tao in Thailand. An island that would eventually become her home. A place where she would develop into an explorer. It was great to sit down and chat with Naomi about her development with Koh Tao Divers, the simplicity and sturdiness of the KISS Sidewinder, exploring the unexplored with Bottomline Projects, turning her future vision into a reality, and much more.

Audio Article: Accident Analysis Report by NSS/CDS
Accident Analysis Report by National Speleological Society-Cave Diving SectionIncident: October 4th, 2024 Location: Phantom Springs, TexasCave diving instruction is largely based on lessons learned from accident analysis. While there have been significant changes and advancements in cave diving over the past twenty years, there has been a shortage of accident analysis to keep up with those changes. The NSS-CDS Accident Analysis Committee was (re)formed to fill the need for the continued systematic analysis of cave diving accidents in North America.The National Speleological Society-Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS) is a 501(3)c non-profit corporation with a rich history in conservation, education, exploration, and safety. In fact, the organization’s roots run so deep that it is impossible to separate NSS-CDS history from the history of cave diving itself!Article Link:https://nsscds.org/accident-analysis/Website:https://nsscds.org/

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.
