To Dive For – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week catch up with Haley and Sydney as they chat with Grace Keast, a citizen scientist and sea slug aficionado. Grace has worked with a number of different conservation organizations over the years and over time has fallen in love with the sea slug, an unsuspecting but magnificent creature! Her admiration of these animals has led her to establish the Western Australia branch of the Sea Slug Census where once a year she selects and trains volunteers, and creates events to survey the sea slug species of Western Australia. This week, she shares her favorite nudis, her biggest challenges, and her funniest moments beneath the ocean's surface. Full episode is available on Patreon.

This week's episode takes us to Saba, a small island in the Caribbean that makes up for what it lacks in land mass with abundant biodiversity both above and below the water. This beach-less island turns out to be an unexpected crown-jewel of the Caribbean! This is what Lynn Costenaro fell in love with when she moved to the island to work at and eventually become the owner of Sea Saba. Since 2003, she has incorporated annual eco-programming in her dive shop's operations, and eventually this became so successful that these programs became their own standalone organization known as Sea and Learn Saba. Lynn and her team have spent the past several years investing in this initiative which helps to educate visitors and conserve the nature and culture of Saba along with sister islands! Tune in this week to learn all about the amazing work this organization is doing in the Eastern Caribbean. Head over to https://www.seaandlearn.org/ to learn more about Lynn and her team's work!

Tune in this week for a very special episode as Haley shares about her experience getting decompression sickness last year and how it shaped the way she dives now! Haley shares all about her symptoms, her treatment, and how it affected her mentally in an effort to normalize (or at the very least take away the taboo from) the topic of dive injury. Hear how her dive insurance helped to keep her safe while she lived on a remote island with no hospital, and what her first signs were that something might be wrong.

Join us this week as we dive deep with Tanya Streeter, a world champion freediver and environmentalist! Tanya takes us beyond her amazing records and into the behind the scenes of her freediving journey, talking about the years of hard work, challenges, and mental fortitude. We also dive into the peace, clarity, and self-empowerment that freediving has given her and how she gives back to the ocean today through her conservation and education efforts. We are so grateful for Tanya's words of wisdom and authenticity. Hopefully this episode will inspire you to redefine your own limits!
