Big Deep - An Ocean Podcast

Passage to the Underworld - Adventurer and Journalist Michael Menduno on a life of exploration and an underwater swim beneath a temple


Listen Later

Today I speak with Michael Menduno, one of the most accomplished ocean technology and dive reporters for the past 30 years. 

Michael’s work is everywhere. He is editor-in-chief of Global Underwater Explorers InDepth magazine, a contributing editor for DAN Europe’s Alert Diver and X-Ray magazine, and is on the board of directors for the Historical Diving Society.

Michael is also very active in the technical and exploration diving worlds, which focus on more extreme forms of diving, from deeper depths to mixed gas diving to simply pushing the boundaries of where humans have been underwater. 

When we spoke, Michael discussed how he came to journalism around diving, what he has discovered about why humans get in the water, and an incredible cenote dive in Mexico that took him back more than a millennium in time.

Scuba Diving, Free Diving, Ocean Environmentalism, Surfing, and Marine Science.
