He also founded dive-related companies involved in manufacturing, pub- lishing, training agencies, resorts and liveaboard vessels, making him one of the industry’s most successful entrepreneurs. But one single feat astounded the diving world: the deepest dive on air. 1990 1990 “On memory and instinct, I passed through the arch and on the surface with his face in the water breathing through a cave, which was filled with schooling baitfish that obscured snorkel and then five minutes more with no mask breathing the visibility.

  • ADM Issue 6 Finnished
    As divers we are explor- ers who look closely, examine carefully, and investigate fully. Our travels take us to the vast unexplored space beneath the waters surface. For many, this space is also a New Frontier filled with the joy, wonder, richness, and possibilities that will support the future of humankind. As we push into the 21st century, we find ourselves in the presence of the most up- to-date advanced technology for underwater exploration. We recognize, applaud, and better yet, use this equipment to assist in this never-ending exploration. With the advent of inventions such as the new mixed gas decompression computers, allowing extensive dives using helium-based breathing gases; high intensity discharge arch lights with extremely long burn times; deep set DPVs, capable of higher speeds and long penetration distances; and high end photography and digital video equipment capable of extreme depth ratings, the ocean's once dark unex- plored world is now alit with its awesome magnificence. All this new technology allows the diver to visit and document what was once visions just ten years ago. As our underworld explorations expand, so will ADM expand to include all this new breathtaking up-to-date technology and what it brings to today's advanced diver and his or her world. Additionally, readers can now look forward to a sixteen-page increase filled to the brim. ADM widens its horizons by highlighting photographers and their underwater expo- sures. ADM is also adding a section that will focus on trend-setting new equipment. We look forward to sharing more with you as we also look forward to you submitting your ideas, comments, and articles.
