We start in deep blue water off Levanzo, where the end of the First Punic War is still written across the seabed. In Bronze, Blood, and Bottom Time, Mario Arena walks us through what it takes to document a naval battlefield: grids, positioning, discipline, and the teamwork that turns scattered artifacts into a readable map. From there, we trade blue water for black rock. Into Mexico’s Blackest Cave: Cenote Cocom by Emőke Wagner stays close to a simple point: caves don’t exist in isolation. What happens on the surface eventually arrives underground, and sometimes the timeline is faster than we’d like. We also spend time on how we operate. In Blueprint for Success: Team Diving, Jarrod Jablonski weighs in on the solo vs team diving debate. Gabriel Pineda breaks down decompression algorithms and why “best” depends on what you’re actually trying to control. And in From “Performing Skills” to Owning Them, Dorota Czerny writes about the new GUE Performance Diver Course. Then we shift to people, what they inherit, and what they choose. In THE TALKS: Born Into Diving, Stratis Kas hosts a round table with Tessa Skiles, Laura Marroni, and Rob Thomas on identity, risk, expectations, and earning your own place in the water. And because life doesn’t pause for diving, we go fully practical. The Nine Month Surface Interval: Returning to Diving After Pregnancy by Sanne Volja covers timelines, red flags, training steps, fatigue, childcare logistics, and confidence, with medical context from Caroline Fife, MD and Marguerite St Leger Dowse.
