In 2024, the world marked a century since divers first breathed helium under pressure. Tech diving instructor and scientist Jeff Bozanic teamed up with InDEPTH to bring us a fascinating retrospective on heliumโ€™s role in undersea explorationโ€”from early experiments to modern-day trimix and heliox dives beyond 305 m/1000 ft.

Dive in to discover how helium shaped commercial, military, and scientific diving, and why itโ€™s become essential for tech divers seeking to conquer the depths.

Did you know that as tech dives get deeper and longer, the risk of DCS skyrockets? With Bรผhlmann algorithms, you could be looking at a 1-in-3 chance of decompression sickness on extreme dives! ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Thatโ€™s why the US Navy switched to the Thalmann iso-risk decompression algorithm in 2008โ€”allowing divers to fine-tune their DCS risk while optimizing decompression time. But not all tekkies want to spend extra time hanging.

Tech instructor & dive geek Tim Blรถmeke breaks down what you need to know about risk-based deco models & how they could change your approach to deep diving.

This year, two elite explorers, Osama Gobara and Mauro Bordignon, are taking on new frontiers in the 2024-25 FATHOM Explorers program. From extreme depths to uncharted passageways, these divers are documenting, mapping, and redefining whatโ€™s possible in underwater exploration.

๐Ÿ”น Osama Gobara โ€“ Originally from Austria, Osama now calls Mexicoโ€™s vast cave systems home. With 15+ years of exploration experience, he combines his background in hydrographic surveying to create 3D cave maps and digital models, revealing the secrets of the underground.

๐Ÿ”น Mauro Bordignon โ€“ With over 20 years of cave diving experience, Mauro has explored chilling European caves, high-altitude Arizona mines, and the depths of Africaโ€™s desert cave systems. When heโ€™s not pushing limits, heโ€™s training the next generation of cave divers and explorers.

Our freediving friends have long known the benefits of yogaโ€”but did you know it can be a game-changer for tech divers too? With heavy gear, extended decompression, and demanding environments, breath control, flexibility, and mental clarity are more important than ever.

Instructors Tamara Adame & Maria Shagina break down how yoga can:

โœ… Improve breath control & air consumption
โœ… Increase flexibility & core strength for better trim & movement
โœ… Enhance mental focus & relaxation before and after dives

They even share simple, effective yoga poses to help you get startedโ€”no studio required!

For two decades, Shearwater Research has been at the forefront of dive computer technology, creating simple, intuitive, and powerful tools for technical and recreational divers alike.

Founded in 2004, Shearwaterโ€™s journey began with a vision: to build reliable, easy-to-use dive computers designed by divers, for divers. That philosophy remains unchanged.

๐Ÿ”น From the groundbreaking Pursuit to todayโ€™s cutting-edge Teric & Perdix 2, Shearwater continues to push boundaries, making deep diving safer and more accessible.

In 1969, SEALAB III was set to push the limits of saturation diving, taking US Navy aquanauts to 400 ft (122m). But tragedy struck. Barry Cannon, a talented and dedicated aquanaut, died shortly after the habitat was lowered to the ocean floor. Was it really a rebreather failure, or was the truth buried with the project?

๐Ÿ”Ž 55 years later, ocean engineer Kevin Hardy uncovers the real story in a gripping investigation that challenges the original Navy Board of Inquiry findings. Turns out, the rebreather wasnโ€™t to blame at all.

What went wrong?
โŒ Systemic command failures
โŒ Ignored warning signs
โŒ A lost opportunity for forensic analysis

SEALAB III was abruptly shut down, its habitat ordered destroyed, and its aquanauts silenced. A lost chapter in diving historyโ€”until now.

Meet Xavier Mรฉniscus, the man behind the deepest cave dive ever recordedโ€”286m/938ft at Font Estramar. ๐Ÿ† This elite cave explorer doesnโ€™t just dive deep; he redefines the limits of human exploration. Armed with three rebreathers, years of military and commercial diving experience, and unparalleled physiological tolerance, Xavier is a living legend in the world of cave diving.

Rebreather training is unlike anything elseโ€”it's brand-specific, configuration-specific, and may even be holding the diving industry back. ๐Ÿšฆ But what if thereโ€™s a better way? Veteran diving educator Jeffrey Bozanic dives deep into the topic and proposes a systems approach to training that could transform the industry. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

For nearly five decades, cavers have described โ€œrestrictionsโ€ (or โ€œsqueezes,โ€ as British cavers say) as either minor or major. Now, Rory Oโ€™Keefe is updating cave cartography with a new grading system thatโ€™s all about accuracy and helping divers answer the big question: Can I fit through? ๐Ÿซฃ

Did you know the term โ€œrestrictionsโ€ was coined in 1975 by legendary explorer Sheck Exley? For nearly 50 years, cavers have been grading restrictions as โ€œminorโ€ and โ€œmajor.โ€ Now, cave cartographer Rory Oโ€™Keefe is revolutionizing the process with a new, measurement-based grading system to improve map accuracy and help divers navigate safely.
