It's one thing to dream about buying a dive shop in a tropical country - it's another thing to actually do it. Declan Kelly came from Canada to Belize and started Hopkins Underwater Adventures from the ground up. It was something of a learning curve - and looking back - it was all worth it.

Declan gives some first hand advice to you if you have ever uttered the words "I'd like to own a dive shop in a warm place". Of course we also talk about his dive shop and the great diving in Belize.

One Rebreather for All - The Hollis Explorer

New gear (read: toys) are always part of scuba diving. Hollis is producing the first true recreational re-breather called the Hollis Explorer. It is simple to use (really!) and you only need an open water and nitrox certification to use it.

I talk with the maker of the Explorer Nick Hollis, about the unit from his perspective. In the second half of the show I talk with Matthew Robinson from Midlands Re-breather Diving who trains people on the Explorer and travels with it. It is a good look at the product not just from the manufacturers perspective but from someone who is teaching the use of the Explorer and using it in his travels. 

Join me this week on Planet earth Diver.
