This week, we have the account of one of the divers on board the Sea Safari VII fire that contradicts the official timeline. The captain of the conception liveabord has been sentenced to four years in jail after his appeal failed. There’s a new subscription-based training agency out there that’s turning some heads and according to training numbers, more and more women are qualifying than ever before.

This week, breaking news of a boat fire in Indonesia. A new blue hole in Mexico is believed to be the deepest in the world. A UK coroner records first IPO verdict on snorkeller. And the Tobago House of Assembly rather quickly withdrew a ten thousand dollar reward for the capture of a bullshark after massive backlash

This week, courts have sided with Netflix in a defamation lawsuit after a movie painted him in a bad light. A diving destination is in hot water for holding onto divers deposits and blanking them stating that they are closed for business even though their website says otherwise and the great barrier reef has just experienced it’s worst coral bleaching heatwave in history that some are describing as an underwater bushfire.

This week, I’m going to be covering the death of Jared Hires who was a very well known and loved member of the diving community and general manager of Dive Rite who died this week on a dive in the Plura Cave system in Norway which is the same cave system as the 2016 documentary Diving into the unknown where a team of divers risk their lives and legal repercussions to recover the remains of their friend who also died in the cave system.
Now, I’m going to be reading through the DAN preliminary accident analysis and explaining anything that may be complicated

This week, the first ever woman cave diver is being recognised into the Women Divers Hall Of Fame. A study has shown that MPAs are making a huge difference in the waters where they’re enforced and there’s a new underwater museum being created with loads of artifacts for you to check out.
