This month, we come face to face with deep sea species in our blackwater diving special.

Join us this episode as we jump into the fascinating world of blackwater diving, where expert scuba divers plunge into the open ocean at night in order to catch a glimpse of our favourite deep sea faces. We talk with expert blackwater divers to find out what it’s like to venture into the open ocean at night, when deep sea species rise from the depths to feed. How do they capture such remarkable photographs in such challenging conditions? What are some of their favourite species to encounter? What is it like to see bioluminescence in person and how is this related to science and the discovery of new species? Whether you’re a pro-diver yourself or prefer to stay dry, this episode is jam-packed with interesting stories and insights into this poorly understood environment.

Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
