Dev is talking to Jack Brown all about recreational diving, how he got started, the training you need and the best dive sites around the world

They discuss everything from the right technique to Jack's most memorable dives and animals he has seen when diving across the world

This in-depth conversation is a great listen that gives a really helpful insight into what recreational diving is all about and could be what inspires you to have a go

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A rebreather means you can dive for longer
• When you are certified you can dive to a depth of 30 metres beyond this you need further specialised training
• Caves and places with strong currents make diving potentially more dangerous
• My ambition is to dive in Iceland between the tectonic plates in the Silfra fissure
• Being out completely in the blue is the bit I don't like as a diver
• There are some great dives to do around shipwrecks
• There are dive maps to show you where the best dives are around the world
• It's always worth talking to the locals about good dive sites
• You are not allowed to remove anything from a dive site
• Having a good profile in diving makes all the difference
• In diving, the kit is quite bulky when you are swimming and at the surface
• Shipwrecks are what's really interesting to me

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are some really great wreck dives you can do'

‘Take nothing but memories and leave nothing except bubbles'
