Special tech episode of Pod Diver Radio, host Joe Cocozza checks in live from Beneath the Sea 2015 with SubGravity president and dedicated cave diver Josh Thornton for a deep dive into modern CCR gear. Josh shares how a childhood cenote dive in Mexico pulled him into cave diving—and how that passion now drives SubGravity's design philosophy. Together, they unpack the Hammerhead closed circuit rebreather, including: The online "Build a Rebreather" (BART) configurator that lets you spec your Hammerhead from can size to materials The removable O₂ cell cartridge pre-wired for up to four sensors, making swaps, drying and inspection easy Click-lock bayonet hose fittings that simplify setup, teardown and mushroom-valve checks—no threads, no hassle Then they turn to the H3 dive computer—a compact OLED unit developed with the Austrian military—covering: Full support for air, nitrox, trimix and CCR so you don't outgrow your computer NFC (near-field communication) logging straight to your phone for instant dive downloads and sharing The roadmap for wireless cylinder pressure and future wireless PO₂ monitoring, all enabled via firmware updates on the same unit If you're a CCR diver, a rebreather-curious OC tech diver, or a cave diver looking for robust electronics and modular life support, this Hammerhead + H3 breakdown is packed with practical, gear-nerd detail.

This special archive episode of Pod Diver Radio revisits one of our most memorable conversations — a deep technical sit-down with legendary cave explorer Brett Hemphill, recorded years before he later lost his life on a deep cave exploration dive. Brett walks us through the audacious project to connect Florida's Weeki Wachee Springs and Twin Dees cave systems, in what became the deepest underwater cave connection in the U.S. at roughly 330 feet. Joe opens the show recapping their earlier interview on Weeki Wachee, then Brett picks up the story: why Weeki's violent outflow (160–200 cubic feet per second) makes the "coffee-table–sized" 170-foot entrance almost impossible except in extreme drought, and how those same droughts turned nearby Twin Dees into a dead mud hole… until the rains came back and the spring came alive again. From there, Brett lays out the Twin Dees side of the expedition in classic detail: Dropping into a tiny 30-foot pond and squeezing through a "Superman" chimney starting at 15 feet Reaching a small room at 40 feet where the team built a habitat to stage and don gear Pushing through tight passage to about 1,300 feet before the cave opens up Entering "Middle Earth", a massive underwater chamber "three-quarters the size of the hall at Beneath the Sea" Following "the Tunnel", a passage leveling off around 300 feet on the way toward Weeki Wachee Brett then tells the story of the breakthrough: finding the monitoring well at ~6,300 feet back, 320 feet deep; realizing the connection had to be close; and finally seeing their old Weeki Wachee line appear out of the darkness only 30 feet past where his reel ran out. You'll hear how normally reserved Dr. Andrew Pitkin starts yelling through the helium — the moment they know Twin Dees and Weeki Wachee are one system, 8,000 feet back at 330 feet deep. We also dig into: The brutal logistics (even staging bottles is a 6-hour dive) Why these projects are impossible without a committed support team Sponsors and gear that made it possible (scooters, lights, CCR, reels) How to watch Brett & Andrew's high-def "Barrel and Loop" video section of Twin Dees Why Brett believed there is still unexplored cave and real exploration left in Florida This episode is both a technical masterclass in extreme cave exploration and a tribute to a diver whose work, humility, and curiosity inspired an entire generation of cave and spring divers — from mixed-gas explorers to freedivers drawn to Florida's clear, powerful springs.
