    Is there a "hardest cert/most stringent certifier?"

    Well, compared to soccer, scuba diving is tiny. The "niche" thing however was with regards to postgraduate science. I do not even think it is relevant if niche or not. I simply think "where is it hardest" is a useless question to ask if you are looking to learn interesting things. But opinions...

    Is there a "hardest cert/most stringent certifier?"

    This. Actually this is precisely the thing that a scientist is getting asked. Whom have we worked with, and on what topics. Regarding the original question: we are in the clear on everyone now offering their favourite (tech)-agency because the require much. I do have a completely different...

    Quiz - Physiology - DCS Factors

    I can say to the contrary, that alcohol use before diving was not found to be a factor in post-dive bubbles in a recent DAN study. The same is true for fatigue and accidents. Only obesity may indeed stand on empirical grounds: Dive Risk Factors, Gas Bubble Formation, and Decompression Illness...

    This blows my mind

    It is also about the risk of spreading that it is at the moment advisable not to do non-essential travel.

    Coronavirus - Spain

    I really enjoy diving at La Palma. In summer and autumn the water goes above 20°C easily, and as other have said it is often really clear. Fantastic underwater landscape with volcanic structures like arches and tunnels. And really diverse sea life, it is the Atlantic after all. Also a world...
