Deep diving to 50m, mixed gas diving to 54m, above and underwater demolition; what it’s like to be taken to depth in a hyperbaric chamber?
Lynda Chanwai-Earle explores our most extreme and dynamic underwater vocation when she meets the RNZN Operational Navy Dive Team. She is given a personal tour through the Devonport Naval Base, Auckland with Lieutenant Commander Trevor Leslie and Warrant Officer, diving instructor Lance Graham to find out what inspires our most elite of scuba divers.
