Czy nurkowanie może uratować… wspomnienia? W dzisiejszym odcinku rozmawiam z Dagny z Centrum Nurkowego Płetwal o nietypowej, ale szalenie potrzebnej inicjatywie – Pogotowiu Płetwonurkowym. Od telefonów zgubionych podczas spływu kajakowego, przez obrączki z wakacyjnych oświadczyn, aż po… bombę z czasów II wojny światowej – Dagny opowiada o tym, co ludzie gubią pod wodą i jak jej zespół pomaga to odzyskać. Są porady, są emocje, są anegdoty i jest sporo sentymentu. Bo czasem dno jeziora skrywa więcej niż się spodziewamy.

Czy można połączyć testowanie nowego sprzętu nurkowego, chill nad jeziorem i nurkowe pogaduchy w jednym miejscu? Można – i to właśnie podczas Demo Daysów. W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Jakubem o nurkowym święcie, które w tym roku zmienia lokalizację i przenosi się nad jezioro Kłodno. Opowiadamy o tym, co będzie się działo, dlaczego warto przyjechać ekipą, i jak nowy piątkowy dzień branżowy może otworzyć ciekawe możliwości dla szkół i instruktorów. Dorzucamy wspomnienia z nurkowego safari, wraki na Morzu Czerwonym i trochę sprzętowych tipów. A wszystko to w duchu wspólnej pasji i… mokrej przygody.
Czy poranna kawa może uruchomić lawinę dobrych zmian? Dla Mateusza – jak najbardziej. W tym odcinku rozmawiam z nim o akcji sprzątania Jeziora Kierskiego, którą sam zainicjował i w którą wciągnął lokalną społeczność nurków. To nie tylko nurkowanie po śmieci, ale też budowanie wspólnoty, edukacja i odrobina zdrowej rywalizacji. Mówimy o wsparciu miasta, nagrodach, bezpieczeństwie i o tym, jak nawet osoby z niewielkim doświadczeniem mogą zanurzyć się w coś większego niż tylko woda. Bo czyste jeziora nie robią się same.
Wir bereiten uns auf unseren kommenden Tauchurlaub vor.

Scuba diving has been stuck in the stone age for a while. Here is a recap of, in my opinion, why we are going to catch up to the other big sports rather quickly. We've all seen the endless, well-intentioned attempts at a new dive app like how to find dive locations, log a dive, or an agency app (like PADI, NAUI, SSI, SDI, BSAC, CMAS, etc.). But I see people light up when they realize they can store ALL of their certs and cross-validate dive logs. It tracks professional divers and operators so you can get validated by pro from any agency. The other big one is the fact it notifies you of divers in your area. Buddy Radar is a dive buddy finder, and it actually goes off quite a bit when I travel. This is a game changer as more people get on the app. It's got buckets of other features that continue to impress me. I hope you love this recap that has been 2 years in the making!

#AskMarkThis week on the podcast, Eight people, including two Britons, remain missing following the sinking of the Red Sea dive liveaboard Sea Story yesterday (25 November). Four bodies are reported to have been recovered so far. Australian Diving Instruction, a PADI 5* instructor development centre in Geelong, south of Melbourne in Victoria, has been fined Aud $40,000 (£20,460) for the explosion of an out-of-test scuba cylinder that resulted in a diver's leg being blown off. A 25-year-old man from the UK has died after reportedly losing consciousness while scuba diving off Greece's Attica coast near Athens, on the afternoon of 24 November.A Chinese diver wearing a brightly coloured novelty hood is reported to have been bitten on the back of the head by a tiger shark at a popular Maldives dive-site.https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/8-still-missing-after-huge-wave-sank-red-sea-liveaboard/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/dive-school-fined-for-explosion-that-cost-instructors-leg/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/british-diver-dies-in-greece-instructors-arrested/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/tiger-bites-divers-head-at-maldives-shark-tank/ Websitehttps://www.scubadivermag.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/scubadivermagazine/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/scubadivermag/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScubaDiverMagazine/Scuba Diver Magazinescubadivermag.com/subscriptions
New Georgia House Minority Leader Carolyn Hugely let it be known she's not well with Senator Jon Ossoff. She unleashed on him while on WABE's "Politically Georgia" podcast earlier this week, but I must admit, I felt the need to finger-wag a bit in her direction. I mean, is this necessary? Why is she picking a fight with a U.S. Senator up for re-election in two years? What concession(s) has she come to based on one person's characterization in a two-person conversation? Not cool; not the time. While I'm offering my thoughts to state party leadership, I shared, today, a list of objectives I'd like to see the new state Democratic Party chair implement. My guest today is Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg from The Appeal. She's covered recent strife between Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and council over a pre-trial diversion program it appears he tried to undercut for reasons no one can (or will, in his office's case) explain. Council went ahead re-upping with PADI despite the mayor's curious end-around antics, even with a new in-house diversion center now in the picture.
The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Aniela Martin. Aniela Martin is a scuba diver and an offshore hydrographic surveyor, working as part of a large team out at sea mapping the seabed and collecting geological information. Aniela has a deep passion for the underwater world that began after her first ever scuba dive whilst on holiday as a teenager. Having just finished high school she wasn't sure what career path to take but her first adventure into the underwater world sparked a passion and strong curiosity for all things in the sea. Aniela went on to study Oceanography at Southampton university and during her studies became a PADI divemaster, working the summer breaks at a dive centre in Southern Italy. Aniela has been working as a hydrographic surveyor for three years now which involves mapping the seabed for various scopes such as scientific research, projects concerning green energy installations- wind farms, and communication links. Most of the projects she works on involve the use of ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) which use cutting edge technology allowing high resolution data, especially in deep water. Aniela's passion, aside from the underwater world is communication - Being able to convey her love for the big blue.

In episode 151 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we explore the joy of camping at any age! Many guests I've had on the show share their experiences from a young age, getting outside and growing up with a love for nature. But what happens when you don't have a childhood that fosters that connection? How can you get started? Today, we're chatting with the Vice President of Operations at Girl Camper, who shares her journey from novice camper to community leader.

Amoray Dive Resort is the only dedicated dive resort in the Florida Keys. In fact, Key Largo is considered the “Scuba Diving Capital of the World”. Jeff Gneiser (and his wife, Cynthia) own the PADI 5 Star Dive Operation that operates with the resort. Jeff sat down with me to tell the story of how they've renovated and expanded the facility, and what it takes to be a 2023 and 2024 award-winning dive operation. They took us to the reefs and the famous Spiegel Grove shipwreck, and we stayed a few nights at the resort. After seeing some of the local sites like The History of Diving Museum (and feeding the tarpon at Robbie's) we even had dinner with the two of them at what is now our new favorite waterside dive. This is someone who has it together and loves his work. If you want a peek into what the dream looks like, this is it.

They stress the significance of being prepared for medical emergencies to ensure the safety of participants. 24:08 Three rangers died in a tragic accident, one of whom was driving without 4-wheel drive knowledge, leading to a rollover in Mohave National Preserve. The vehicle was displayed at the park headquarters as a reminder of the dangers of four-wheeling. 30:02 Overlanding tours require 4WD vehicles for camping at various sites each night before sundown. The tours prioritize getting to camp early for dinner, and there are always interesting activities. 36:05 It's essential for permitted outfitters to adhere to guidelines in backcountry tours to preserve the environment and maintain their permits, as not doing so could result in significant repercussions and damage their reputation in the industry. 36:38 Bob is deeply committed to promoting environmental ethics and sustainability through his work as a master tread trainer for Tread Lightly. He emphasizes responsible off-roading and leaving campsites cleaner than they were found. 43:30 Hybrid vehicles provide extended range with both battery and internal combustion engines. Toyota is showing interest in hydrogen engines, such as their new v eight hydrogen engine, using hydrogen as an alternative to traditional fuels like gasoline or diesel.

Dans le nord du Ghana, une partie des réfugiés vivent dans le camp de Zebilla. Après avoir subi les traumatismes, ils vivent aujourd'hui en bonne entente avec les Ghanéens. Parmi les déplacés, seule la communauté peule se sent parfois mise à l'écart. De notre envoyée spéciale,« Nous nous sentons vraiment déprimés. Nous avons fui ici, quittant nos foyers, nos biens, et nos bétails, et nous nous retrouvons ici dans ce camp. Et nous avons vraiment peur de retourner chez nous, de peur qu'ils reviennent nous tuer… »À 72 ans, Keke (nom d'emprunt) espérait ne pas avoir à fuir son village près de Bitta au Burkina Faso. Il a dû s'y résigner après avoir vu des voisins mourir devant lui. Arrivé au Ghana, il est accueilli dans une famille d'accueil dans le nord du Ghana, et a ensuite été approché par les autorités ghanéennes et le HCR pour être installé dans un vaste camp de réfugiés. « En réalité, ces personnes n'ont pas le statut de réfugiés, mais ils sont enregistrés pour une attestation. Actuellement, plus de 3 000 Burkinabè au Ghana sont dans ce cas », explique à RFI Tetteh Padi, directeur du Ghana Refugee Board (GRB), l'Agence ghanéenne pour les demandeurs d'asile. C'est à quelques kilomètres de la frontière avec le Burkina Faso, près de la ville de Zebilla, dans le nord-est du Ghana, que des centaines de tentes ont été placées pour accueillir environ 4 000 personnes, et accueille aujourd'hui plus de 1 000 réfugiés qui ont fui les violences au Burkina Faso. Keke n'est pas le seul réfugié du camp. Comme lui, Seone (nom d'emprunt) vient aussi de la zone de Bitta, avec ses sept enfants et son mari. Elle se souvient d'avoir vu ses deux voisins être assassinés par des attaquants au visage masqué.Sugurunoma (nom d'emprunt) vient de la zone de Soudougui. Elle a vu une vingtaine de personnes de sa famille élargie se faire tuer lors d'une attaque. Alors enceinte, elle dit avoir quitté Bitta à pied. Au troisième jour de marche, elle a accouché. Elle a réussi à venir au Ghana avec toute sa famille de sept enfants.Pour ces réfugiés, le camp de Zebilla est un havre de paix. Ils y sont nourris et logés. Seulement, ils se plaignent du manque d'activité. Pour l'instant, ils n'ont même pas de champ à eux et n'ont aucune activité. Le Ghana Refugee Board a indiqué à RFI que des terres agricoles ont été acquises pour les réfugiés pour qu'ils puissent avoir des revenus agricoles. Des projets sont en cours pour donner du bétail à ces réfugiés, leur faire développer divers métiers (coiffure, mécanique, etc). Une aide pour le commerce a commencé, ajoute le GRB.Mais aujourd'hui, de nombreux réfugiés sont des femmes, des enfants et des vieillards. Les hommes ont pour beaucoup été tués lors des attaques, ou bien sont partis travailler ailleurs, sans toujours se rapprocher des services comme le GRB ou le HCR. Et au Ghana, la plupart des déplacés vivent dans des familles d'accueil. Le GRB estime qu'environ 15 000 Burkinabè ont fui les violences dans leur pays pour rejoindre le nord du Ghana. Un autre camp, équivalent à celui de Zebilla, vient d'être construit à Zini, dans le nord-ouest du pays.Mixité avec les Ghanéens« Quand nous sommes arrivés au Ghana, ce n'était pas facile pour les Ghanéens. Ils ont eu peur que les attaquants nous suivent et arrivent jusqu'à chez eux. Mais ils ont aussi pris pitié de nous, certains ont même cuisiné pour nous », se souvient Seone.Seone et les autres réfugiés ont vécu la même expérience lors de leur arrivée dans le camp de Zebilla, situé près du village de Tarikom. Ses 2 600 habitants, d'abord curieux et contents, ont eu rapidement peur que l'installation de ces Burkinabè ne soit source d'insécurité. « Mais les services de sécurité du Ghana, le chef de la sécurité, et même la sécurité de la présidence sont venus ici, et les villageois ont été rassurés », explique Isaac Angonwin, le « District Assembly Representative » de Tarikom, une sorte de leader communautaire élu. Aujourd'hui, « les enfants vont à l'école tous ensemble : les demandeurs d'asile et les villageois ! La clinique que nous avons ici est à la fois pour les réfugiés et la communauté. Nous faisons tout en commun ! », ajoute-t-il.À Tarikom, les Ghanéens, par humanisme, ont accepté de donner leurs terres aux réfugiés. « J'ai eu pitié de ces gens quand j'ai appris qu'ils avaient besoin de ces terres pour leur permettre de s'installer », se souvient Abambilla Awale, le « land priest » de Tarikom. La plus belle preuve d'intégration vient souvent des enfants. Les jeunes réfugiés parlent déjà le Kusaal après moins d'un an dans le nord Ghana. Au milieu du camp, une vingtaine d'enfants - villageois et réfugiés - se sont placés en deux rangées. Au top, un jeune de chaque équipe essaye d'être le premier à attraper la bouteille d'eau vide au milieu du terrain. L'arrivée des réfugiés a été bénéfique pour le moment pour le village. Elle a même permis d'étendre le réseau d'électricité de Tarikom et d'améliorer la clinique. Mais les villageois espèrent ne pas être laissés pour compte face aux réfugiés, qui n'ont par exemple pas de problème de nourriture. Eux-mêmes déjà pauvres, ils ont pourtant donné des terres aux réfugiés par fraternité. Mais ils souhaitent plus d'aide de la part des organisations internationales, ou encore une extension de leur électricité ou de la clinique, qui accueille aussi les déplacés maintenant.Des Peuls qui se sentent marginalisés Une communauté se sent pourtant mise à l'écart par le Ghana, c'est la communauté peule. En juillet 2023, l'association des Peuls au Ghana, Pulaaku international Ghana, avait dénoncé le fait que des centaines de Peuls - dont des femmes, des enfants et des vieillards - avaient été forcés de retourner au Burkina Faso. Ces personnes étaient pourtant venues au Ghana fuyant les violences au Burkina.Au-delà de l'association, un reportage de la Deutsche Welle avait aussi soutenu cette idée que seuls des Peuls ont été rapatriés vers le Burkina Faso. « On a été invités à discuter avec les forces de sécurité. Nous nous sommes assis et nous avons délibéré et ils ont accepté leur faute. Et c'est à ce moment-là qu'ils ont arrêté l'opération », se souvient Yakubu Musah Barry, secrétaire général de Pulaaku international Ghana. M. Barry ne cesse de plaider pour une meilleure intégration de sa communauté souvent marginalisée.Le HCR avait dénoncé le renvoi de réfugiés du Ghana, ne mentionnant pas d'ethnie dans son communiqué de presse. (cf UNHCR). Le gouvernement avait réfuté toutes ces accusations de stigmatisation, et expliqué dans un communiqué du 13 juillet 2023 qu'il s'agissait d'un « processus de rapatriement » « conforme aux protocoles internationaux » institué « pour faciliter le mouvement des Burkinabè qui souhaitent retourner dans leur pays. » M. Padi du Ghana Refugee Board, répond quant à lui que « ce sont les services de sécurité qui connaissent les personnes qui ont été renvoyées. Nous, au Ghana Refugee Board, nous enregistrons les personnes autorisées par les forces de sécurité à être enregistrées ». Dans le camp de Zebilla, au moment du reportage en février 2024, aucun Peul n'était présent parmi les déplacés. La question des Peuls, ce peuple majoritairement nomade, est délicate en Afrique de l'Ouest. Souvent associés dans l'imaginaire collectif aux violences et au jihadisme extrémiste au Sahel, les Peuls n'en restent pas moins des victimes de ces mêmes violences.

Most of Guy Morris' childhood felt helpless and hopeless. As an adult, while successful in his career, he hid chronic depression, complex PTSD, hyperanxiety, and addiction for many years. Guy was a homeless runaway at thirteen who now has a 36-year Fortune 100 career, bringing awareness of the rapid advances of A1 as it relates to cyber-security and national security. In addition, he is a published songwriter for Disnew Records, a screenplay writer for Sojourn Entertainment, a Coast Guard charter captain, a PADI diver, an adventurer, and now an author of an intelligent well-researched thriller. Since his 2021 debut as an indie author, Guy has released three pulse-pounding thrillers inspired by true stories, actual technologies, true global politics, and history. The true event of when the Ethiopian Ark of the Covenant was stolen and sold on the black markets inspired the Lask Ark following a massacre of 750 men, women, and children in January 2021. Deep research into AI, cyber-espionage, politics, history, religion, prophecy, and politics often provides further motivation. When Guy discovered through an obscure AP article a spy program had escaped the Lawrence Livermore labs at Sandia, a well-known HSA spy lab, two FBI agents showed up at his door. In Guy's interview, he will share what he discovered and why it is necessary to help you understand current and future events. You will want to pass this on to bring awareness and prepare us for what is ahead. Click here to buy The SNO Chronicles are inspired by the true story of a program that escaped the Lawrence Livermore Labs at Sandia, a cryptology and signals lab for the CIA and NSA. The program was never recaptured. Code named SLVIA (Sophisticated Language Virtual Intelligence Algorithms), and program was designed as a web-crawling virtual spy under a joint CIA-NSA program to create a digital backdoor. Equipped with early versions of deep fake technology as well as other espionage, data gathering, and analysis functions, prototypes of the SLVIA toolset were stolen during the 2016 Russian CIA hack. Over the past decade, SLVIA has formed a network of millions of human connections across the globe known as the SNO (Spy Net Online). Men and women from all political, professional, and religious backgrounds are willing to share what they know and seek the truth behind the headlines. From political and corporate leaders to taxi drivers and hookers SNO members connect through SLVIA completely unaware of other members. Set in a post-coronavirus world with a crippled world economy, rising social and political corruption, and unrest with a global food crisis in the third world, and where real-world AI integrates into digital identity, law enforcement, military and cyber warfare, political corruption, and religious apostasy when SLVIA decodes end time prophecies to interpret world events through a prophetic lens with a frighteningly accurate real-world perspective. During 2020 the US, Russia, and China declined to abide by the international Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) protocol which would restrict any AI from making a kill decision without the validation of a human operator. During 2020, Russia demonstrated a hypersonic missile that could evade current missile defenses. Political corruption and division in the US have destabilized the world's greatest democracy. China, Russia, and Iran have formed an alliance designed to weaken the Western alliance's grip on the world economy and shift power to the east. A decade of hacks of US consumer, corporate, and government information has been weaponized into an artificial intelligence internet virus that can be trained and targeted to hack access and disable connected systems. The 2020 Solar Winds hack was the tip of the iceberg of a coming cyber conflict.
