Originally from South London, Natalie Turner-Blackman became certified during her gap year in 2015. Earning her Open Water Certification while at a marine conservation program, she instantly fell in love with the aquatic environment. Returning home to the cold waters of England did not dissuade her from pursuing this newfound interest. After completing her degree in Marine and Natural History Photography, she went on to a career as a cinematographer. Commercial diving training, Long hours and hard work, making connections, moving into the silent world of diving, and much more. Please enjoy.

In July of this year, we visited the beautiful Nusa Ceningan located between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. A week of island life was just what the doctor ordered. Here, we discovered Ceningan Divers, an eco-friendly dive resort located just 500 meters over the world-famous Yellow Bridge connecting Lembongan to Ceningan. Cliff-jumping, surfing, zip-lines, and plenty of other activities can be enjoyed while in this picturesque tropical environment. We came for the diving. Mantas, molas, turtles, bamboo sharks, the terrifying titan triggerfish, and plenty of vibrant healthy coral are just a short list of things to see underwater. Another aspect of traveling I love; is the people you meet and the friendships you make. Of course, I had to bring my microphones and capture some of their journey. Kez, the mola whisperer, Lew, the conservationist from South Africa, the wonderful staff keeping the day-to-day operations going, and Janis and Raina, members of the Marine Megafauna Foundation. I hope you enjoy this short four-episode series brought to you by Off Gassing: A Scuba Podcast.

In this episode, I speak with Explorer and founder of Sulawesi Dive Trek Robin Cuesta. Robin is at the forefront of cave exploration around Indonesia. We speak about getting in the right mindset before a dive, the logistic difficulties of remote exploration, current projects, what to look for in teammates, the path that led him to open the first full cave dive center in Indonesia, and the relaxed, slow-paced, lifestyle in South-East Sulawesi. Please enjoy.
