John Vickers, Founder & CEO of Blue Abyss.John is building one of the most ambitious and inspiring projects I've come across in my time exploring what people are building in Cleveland!After spending eight years in the British Army, John completed his service at the rank of Corporal in 1991 and transitioned to a civilian career where he worked in management consulting, and leadership roles across IBM and GE Capital.In 2004, grounded in his desire to prepare for an imagined future of proliferated human spaceflight and extreme environment exploration, he founded Blue Abyss to deliver the World's foremost extreme environment research, development, testing and training facilities — unlocking our ability to ask and seek to answer some of the most important questions in the exploration of space, aerospace, medical, marine, and other robotic technologies.Adjacent to Cleveland Hopkins International Aiport, and close to NASA Glenn's headquarters, Blue Abyss is developing the world's largest and deepest R&D Pool, measuring 40 meters by 50 meters on the surface with a 16m wide shaft plunging to a depth of 50 meters with a volume capacity of 42,000 cubic meters of water.The Facility will also house ancillary extreme environment capabilities forHuman Centrifuges to enable training and physiology research at high Gs.Hypobaric and Hyperbaric Chambers to enabling training and research in pressurized environments.and Parabolic Flight to enable microgravity research, training, and public discovery.Furthermore, in addition to servicing a gamut of industries from offshore energy to the growing human spaceflight sector, John is deeply committed to education and inspiring young people to explore and learn about the world around them.This conversation feels right out of science fiction, but it's on track to become science reality.We discuss the balance of ambition and humility, the formative experience of his international upbringing, the influence of his military background and mentors like astronauts and his brother-in-law Sergeant Ian McKay, his appreciation of Cleveland, leadership, persistence, and ultimately the impact he hopes to have with Blue Abyss.-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnvickers1https://blueabyss.uk/blog/post/blue-abyss-ohio-land-purchase-completehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbgJ01B89So&ab_channel=BlueAbyss-----SPONSORS: John Carroll University Boler College of Business || Impact Architects & NinetyJohn Carroll University Boler College of Business: https://business.jcu.edu/ As we've heard time and time again from entrepreneurs on Lay of The Land — many of whom are proud alumni of John Carroll University —  success in this ever-changing world of business requires a dynamic and innovative mindset, deep understanding of emerging technology and systems, strong ethics, leadership prowess, acute business acumen… all qualities nurtured through the Boler College of Business!With 4 different MBA programs of study — spanning Professional, Online, Hybrid, and 1-Year-Flexible — The Boler College of Business provides flexible timelines and various class structures for each MBA Track — including online, in-person, hybrid and asynchronous — to offer the most effective options for you, in addition to the ability to participate in an elective International Study Tour, providing unparalleled opportunities to expand your global business knowledge by networking with local companies overseas and experiencing a new culture.The career impact of a Boler MBA is formative and will help prepare you for this future of business and get more out of your career.

This episode is brought to you with the support of our brilliant sponsor XDEEP and the patrons of Speaking Sidemount. Huge thanks to both. A few weeks back I received a message from Patrick Widmann asking if I had seen the efforts of Skanda Coffield... and for sure I had seen him featured in a couple of Phillip Lehman's Somos Los Cenotes videos most notably the Blue Abyss dive which was just stunning... If you haven't seen it... Check it out on the DRLocal YouTube channel - Somos Los Cenotes Episode 10. Patrick related that Skanda had knocked out over 700 hours of exploration on the KISS Sidewinder in the last 18 months and is one of the most active cave explorers on the planet... He had me at Sidewinder... So I reached out to Skanda and we got into it... so much so that we have two episodes of amazing material for you all. In this the first... Skanda and I discussed... His background in diving, how he came to base himself in Mexico, his work at Protec Tulum, and then we dive deep into his exploration projects how he uses the KISS Sidewinder to go places no human has been before. To round it all out, Skanda shares his best and worst moments in diving... All this and much more... Image credit and thanks to - Joram Mennes and Alvaro Herrero.

Andrea Macdonald, Founder ideaXme interviews John Vickers, Founder and CEO of Blue Abyss. Blue Abyss will be a high tech pioneering training and extreme adventure centre. It will be "the most comprehensive deep sea and space research, training and test facility of its kind in the world, unmatched in its breadth of configuration". Blue Abyss’ primary function will be to enable extreme environment development, both human and robotic, ranging from the offshore energy industry through to the growing human spaceflight sector and adventure tourism. In this interview John Vickers talks of: The need for his planned facility - from resilience research and human progress and exploration to repositioning the United Kingdom as a world innovator. Blue Abyss, which aims to be a world leading training facility, will cater for both the offshore energy sector and government and commercial space exploration endeavours as well adventure tourism. The gruelling journey to reach this point in the project. His personal resilience, necessary to get this far. "Here is an opportunity to introduce new robotic technologies that deliver the strong industrial growth the UK seeks. It's an opportunity to give children the skills and training they need to access the science and technology internships and jobs of the future. It's an opportunity to capitalise on the burgeoning human spaceflight market and welcome a new era of space exploration. And it's an opportunity to secure a lasting legacy for today’s society and for future generations to come". John Vickers, Founder and CEO Blue Abyss.

**Jaws Turns Up in Florida** Sharks are the reason why many people won't go in the water, but Amber and Tommy Allore, a couple of free-divers from Stuart, FL, were thrilled to get some photographs of a great white, a rare visitor to that stretch, while spearfishing with friends off Jupiter last month.
