Beyond upset. Jared was one of the good guys. My tribute to him. https://xray-mag.com/content/jared-hires-dies-plura-cave

20 days till this workshop. Folks have started signing up. This is to get divers from different countries to come together, and think and work in small groups to share ideas. It is not a formal course, and it is not designed to replace crucial agency training. This is to augment your current...

Pretty succinct. Good write up. Thank you.

Hi BoltSnap There's the link to sign up. It goes to a Google Dock. Yes, it will be over something like Zoom. I'll post more later.

Hello All I'm involved with something called ‘Time to Surface’ (TTS). One part of TTS is going to run a series of workshops, to enable divers around the world to enjoy safer, informed diving. At present (and for the foreseeable future) there is no money involved. TTS works with a “pay it...

Yes of course you can use anything from my article. Please note that Jason Brown gave me permission to use the photo he shot of Tom and I with his award at TEKDiveUSA. You'll need to ask Jason Brown if that one can be used. I am looking for info on Tom's Navy career. It is lacking, as you quite...

Here's my article on NDAC closing. It was a superb facility for technical training and we've been very lucky with the staff that ran it. I've dived Wast and Dotty. Got very narked at Wast because it is so dark, and you do get four seasons in four minutes there. The problem with both places is...

DIVE Magazine in the UK has just published my tribute to Tom Mount. He made a massive impact on us Brits and technical diving in the UK! https://divemagazine.com/scuba-diving-news/tom-mount-a-tribute-to-a-tech-diving-legend

Of course you can use my images. V fond of Tom Mount. You are most welcome to upload these to Wikipedia. I give you my full permission to do so. If there is a credit then please ensure it is "Rosemary E Lunn". The photo on the right hand side was taken at DEMA 1999 in New Orleans and it was the...

A tribute to Tom. Jim, I loved your barbecued rattlesnake story. It got a mention. https://divemagazine.com/scuba-diving-news/tom-mount-a-tribute-to-a-tech-diving-legend

I remember first meeting Tom at the DEMA Show in 1999. He was supportive of my work from day one. I have been struck at just how many female divers have all said the same thing about Tom. He really encouraged me, pushed me, challenged me. The world, especially the tech diving world is much...

My tribute to Bill Rennaker has just been published by InDepth. A number of you posted kind comments and memories of Bill. Several are included in this article. https://gue.com/blog/in-memoriam-cave-diver-bill-rennaker/

I know the Dudas family, and have met Zale and Saxon. I love the way that Zale was named after Zale Parry. I remember chatting with Suzie when I established TEKDiveUSA back in 2014. We were discussing exhibition logistics and I mentioned the kids. I suggested that she bring her children along...

Last year I had to deal with an event manager at large professional theatre who had no idea what a 'pinch point' was. Cue blank star. They also did not know the minimum width of a corridor in an exhibition to ensure safe and proper evacuation for delegates and exhibitors. Considering they were...

The Conception fire made the mainstream media in the UK. It was extensively covered by the TV, Radio and the newspapers. It did make the morning breakfast headlines. There was mis-reporting, but that is what happens when the mainstream media cover a diving story. I wrote up two long pieces...

Thanks for posting this. When is the mainstream media ever going to get it right? CO poisoning?!

Good point well made about the metric system and Fiona being an Ozzie. I was told a corking story that relates to that. This is taken from my tribute that was published by X-Ray Mag. There is genuine sadness that she has died, and lot of fond memories being discussed, and of course some cannot...

A lot of people have paid tribute to Dr Fiona Sharp today. There are also some brief details of the dive. It is not known if Fiona planned to dive to 91.5 m / 30 ft or not. And I will not speculate on that.

How about giving this about 48 hours and then opening up discussions? Fiona died less than 24 hours ago.
