Sir David Attenborough´s Light on Earth
Back in February Afelandra and myself had the pleasure of Field Producing segments for Sir David Attenborough's BBC Natural History Show “Light on Earth” 
Afelandra even got to appear on the show, giving her expert advice about where and how to find microscopic life that glows in the dark.  A big Thank you to Dean Martin from Apeks/Aqualung for noticing Afelandra during the UK broadcast….

David Attenborough takes us on an extraordinary tour through one of the least understood of all natural phenomena; bioluminescence. Most people regard light made by living things as a pretty scientific curiosity, but new technology allows us to record living light with unprecedented detail. This film reveals the true scale of bioluminescence; it is everywhere, in the deep ocean, shallow reefs, soil, plains and forests, and for a few nights each year in special places, in the air.

Exploration and new dive sites…
Platinum Course Director and good friend Andy Philips joined us to take one of our special video and photo workshops. While Andy was here we completed some incredible Trimix dives to explore some new Deep dive sites. We found a new dive site called “Neptune´s Throne” this site starts at 55m and continues past 96m/320 feet. We did not explore deeper than 86m/283 feet..stay tuned for more info as we explore more through out the season.

Currently our Technical courses are fully booked for the month of August!  For more information about technical diving visit our website or email us…
