Today I’ll be talking to Keith Teo, a Diver and Product Manager professional based in Singapore. Keith is an avid scuba diver and passionate about exploring new ways to combat climate change. But, unlike many people, he decided to do something about it: he launched the 150bar project, an application that enables open water divers to easily log their dives and most importantly,  the data collected helps scientists monitor climate change impact on coral reefs. Today, we’ll learn about his inspiration behind this project and how we can all contribute to environmental initiatives, no matter how small. Thanks for tuning in, let’s get started.
