Dive In: The Podcast

This week we're talking about underwater photography. We spoke to one of our Hali-famous underwater photographers. If you've seen a picture of a seahorse in Nova Scotia, you've probably seen his work. This week we feature an interview with Lloyd Bond. Before that we chat about seafloor micro-plastics, and a little later in our Think Blue Segment we'll learn about responsible photography, and a dive product that could be the crazy future of diving, or maybe not. We have a book recommendation from Nic, and April will have a dive safety tip, and we learn who we should follow next on social media.Episode Links-Microplastics found in greater quantities than ever before on seabedSeafloor microplastic hotspots controlled by deep-sea circulationThe Aquatic EyeHydroid WebsiteHydroid Diving VideoPhotographing WildMares InstagramEpisode Sponsor: TorpedoRays.comContact us via email at: DiveInThePodcast@gmail.comFind us on Social Media-This Podcast @DiveIn.ThePodcastApril Weickert @aprilweickertJustin Miller @idiveokNicolas Winkler @nicolaswinklerphotographyNicolasWinkler.com  Nick Fisher @scuba_406Torpedo Rays @torpedoraysSeafoxes @seafoxes_Halifax Freediving Club @halifaxfreedivingclubSubscribe:iTunes Spotify Google PodcastsMusic Credits:RetroFuture Dirty Kevin MacLeodLink: incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4278-retrofuture-dirty  License: creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeodLink: incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5011-upbeat-foreverLicense: creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

If we can keep our laughter in check, we'll share our favorite gear, the next upgrade, best safety gear, and our wildcard piece that we want to highlight. If you're bold, take a shot every time someone talks about Shearwater Dive Computers. We start out chatting about coral propagation and the Coral Nurture Program out of Australia. After the host's gear feature we get into Nic Winkler's Think Blue, and as a diver what it means to Think Blue. Nick Fisher gives us a glimpse into dive history with the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
