This week on the podcast, A diver has died in a cave in the Swiss canton of Ticino, with recovery of his body now presenting a challenge to expert rescuers. A blind BBC journalist and a paraplegic amputee, both from Lancashire, are hoping to have an hour-long Red Sea dive to a maximum depth of 40m carried out as a buddy-pair recognised by Guinness World Records. After five years of work, England’s biggest seagrass-restoration project has come to a close, with its results described as “incredibly promising” for the future. Leading liveaboard holiday companies Emperor Divers and Solomon Islands-based Bilikiki Cruises have joined forces.A last-minute reprieve for half of the shipwreck treasures that had looked set to be dispersed into private collections at an auction in Cornwall from tomorrow (6 November) has been provided by UK charity the Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust (MAST).

This week on the podcast, A fisherman in Greece who found the body of a snorkeller in his nets and threw it back into the sea has been found guilty of manslaughter. A liveaboard has sunk in the far southern Egyptian Red Sea, after its captain appeared to have disregarded severe weather warnings. The death of a UK rebreather diver off the south Devon coast in May was the result of “user error”, it was stated at the opening of an inquest. Bill Gavin, a founding member of the WKPP and its second Project Director, has passed away. And Florida-based International Training (IT) has decided to tidy up its diver-training branding by putting its various agencies under a single umbrella – that of SDI, or Scuba Diving International.

This week on the podcast, the remains of a diver have been found in the stomach of a shark but, relatives stress that it was not the shark that killed her. A coroner has concluded that while the death of a scuba diver in Scapa Flow was accidental, it could have been prevented had appropriate equipment checks been carried out before entering the water. A search and rescue operation was launched in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula when a solo cave-diver went missing in one of the cenotes, and there has been some nice news also.

 This week on the podcast, The United States is set to become the largest artificial reef. The SS United States is a 300m ocean liner that’s being decommissioned and plans to sink her to become an artificial reef in recreational depths is exciting news for divers. A rare sighting of sunfish in the Red Sea around the Brothers has made the news and it another excuse to book your next Red Sea liveaboard. And a diver has died collecting ghost gear helping to clean up a shipwreck.
