Take a deep breath, equalize your ears, and grab a dive buddy! This week, TRIPOLOGY descends into the astonishing world of scuba diving.

A popular activity within the travel community, scuba diving opens the door into an environment unlike any other. Marine life, underwater landscapes, coral reefs, shipwrecks, and the ever-suggestive sea cucumber are all to be discovered under the sea.

Darling, it's better down where it's wetter...

Alun professes his love for slipping into a wetsuit and submerging himself, but things don't always go swimmingly, as we hear his terrifying near-death experience whilst in pursuit of the obscure and striking Ocean Sunfish.

Adam recounts a sailing trip in Indonesia where he witnessed a choreographed dance routine performed by two gigantic Manta Rays. Free-diving, with nothing but a pair of goggles, he's quickly reminded he doesn't possess gills. Not even the Harry Potter theme tune can save him!
