Chi Felton is a TDI and PADI technical diving instructor. Originally from the UK, she was running a technical diving facility in Bunaken National Park, in Indonesia, up until early last year, when Covid hit.
in 2014 she did her first dive and fell in love with it. In 2015, she left London to pursue her technical diving career, first beginning her Divemaster and technical dive training in the Maldives and Thailand, then going back to Europe to complete her instructor development course.
This was Chi's first-ever time appearing on a podcast, and she was great!
Chi and I discussed:
- How Covid has hurt the diving community
- What is a rebreather?
- What kind of diving is her favorite
- Why you hallucinate at a certain depth
- How we can protect our oceans
- Diving as a form of meditation
And much more...
My Take: There is a hidden world beneath our feet that we rarely access. The oceans are massive bodies of water that we treat with neglect and fear. We take it for granted - as if it is an infinite resource, which it clearly is not. I love the idea of having a place that has no wifi, no electricity, no distractions. A place for you to just be.
