Anglian Divers and North Norfolk Diving 

Gemma and Ian chat to Ross McLaren   Ross is a chemistry teacher in Scotland who dives at the weekends…He talks about the incredible life he seas in the Scottish sea lochs and how breath taking it is.  He has been taking photos using a go pro and more recently the Olympus TG-6. One of the highlights has been working with BBC Scotland and their online platform “BBC the Social” to write, record, present and produce some short videos about diving. The topics have ranged from diving itself and how its helped his mental health, to history of some of our incredible shipwrecks, our impact on the underwater world and even a little one on photography.  As Ross says “I’m no expert in marine biology, history, photography or even diving, I am literally someone who loves taking photos of our underwater world and trying to show it off to the world in what little ways I can”     SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS Instagram:          @underwater.ross   Twitter:                @outdoorsross   LinkedIn:              Ross McLaren   Facebook            underwater.ross       OTHER LINKS TO ITEMS DISCUSSED ON THE PODCAST   Ford Mach – E             https://www.ford.co.uk/cars/mustang-mach-e McConks                     https://mcconks.com/ The BiG Scuab Amazon Shop              https://www.facebook.com/underwater.ross  GreenFins                   https://reef-world.org/green-fins Christal Seas                https://www.scuba4me.co.uk/ Hapi Bottles                https://hapibottles.com/ Please give us ★★★★★, leave a review, and tell your friends about us as each share and like makes a difference.

Adventures diving around Lundy island

Chef Anton

Gemma and Ian chat to Chef Anton.  Chef Anton is an IDC Staff Instructor with over 500 logged dives and is also an Award-Winning Magician from Hollywood’s Magic Castle.  You may have seen his appearance of Penn and Teller’s Fool Us.  Chef has created a brand new PADI Distinctive Specialty called Scuba Magician which has now over 500 instructors world-wide.   The course teaches divers 15 magic tricks they can do during a safety stop.  Think of it as 15 tricks for 15 feet.  No prior magical skills are needed and all of the tricks are hand-selected to reinforce important scuba concepts such as Narcosis, Nitrogen Absorption, and even Decompression Sickness.  For students, they become empowered with fun and easy to perform magic tricks that can make any dive unique and memorable.   For Instructors, the course has even more added value.  Instructors gain an arsenal of non-diving training aids they can use to teach any PADI course from Open Water up through the IDC.  They gain exclusive access to a Database of magic exclusively designed for scuba instructors as well as an invitation to an Instructor Only Forum which offers an infrastructure for like-minded instructors to share concepts, ideas, and grow as educators/ambassadors for the sport we all love.   www.ScubaMagician.com www.Facebook.com/ScubaMagician https://www.instagram.com/scubamagician/ www.YouTube.com/ScubaMagician https://twitter.com/scubamagician     OTHER LINKS TO ITEMS DISCUSSED ON THE PODCAST   HM Coastguard -  https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/maritime-and-coastguard-agency Ross Kemp -  https://www.history.co.uk/shows/ross-kemp-shipwreck-treasure-hunter Manta Trust Fiji - https://www.mantatrust.org/fiji One Ocean Foundation - https://www.1ocean.org/en/ Clean Ocean Sailing - https://www.cleanoceansailing.com/ Green Fins - -https://greenfins.net/news/environmental-best-practice-for-snorkellers/     Please give us ★★★★★, leave a review, and tell your friends about us as each share and like makes a difference.

Homer Hickam

Gemma and Ian talk to Homer Hickman.  . Homer Hickam, is a world-class Scuba diver and the New York Times best-selling author of  Rocket Boys, the most read book in U.S. schools, which was adapted for the big screen as the now-beloved classic film, October Sky based on Homer's life as a young rocket engineer growing up in Coalwood, West Virgnia.   His latest book 'Don't Blow Yourself Up' is a memoir on what happens after Coalwood where he talks about scuba diving and its crucial role in training astronauts for weightlessness in space. Homer became a deep-sea diver at far-flung oceans and islands around the globe and discovered previously unknown sunken WWII German U-boats in the Mid Atlantic, which led Hickam to write the first-ever definitive account of secret naval battles just off the North Carolina coast “Torpedo Junction” for Naval Institute Press.

Homer Hickam  Author and Scuba Diver

The BiG Scuba Podcast is a new, independent podcast dedicated to all things diving and ocean related.  Its hosted by two friends, Ian, and Gemma.Our aim is to provide a light hearted podcast for all levels of divers and also non-divers with a view to encouraging the non-divers to consider entering the water.We hope to bring you current dive and marine related news and information with the added BIG twist.  Give us a listen and get inspired about all things scuba.

Gemma and Ian talk to Aoibheann Gillespie-Mules.   Aoibheann (pronounced E-Fin) grew up along the gorgeous NW coast of Ireland so was drawn to the ocean from an early age. She finished a Bachelor in Marine Science then participated in a whale shark project in Mozambique and ultimately knew she wanted nothing more than to be under the surface daily.  She travelled to the tropics to begin professional training in the diving industry.  Aoibheann , during lockdown co-authored a bi-lingual children’s book ‘Ocean Adventures with Cory,’ with a dear friend (founder of Oceanus Conservation) - a project focussing on ensuring that ocean literacy is accessible to the local communities that rely on the marine environment. Throughout her diving career she has always been fascinated with marine life beauty and photographing their incredible structures. By sharing the beauty of the marine environment through images (www.coralreefbeauty.com) she hopes to help educate and spread more awareness, highlighting the importance of these amazing marine ecosystems.

I don’t dive, even though I would like to. I don’t have much time right now, but this podcast is an excellent way to learn about scuba diving in an entertaining way. You don’t have to be a diver to enjoy this podcast, and it is great. If you like hearing about the ocean, scuba diving, and encouraging stories then you should try listening to this!

Great for everyone
