Ian and Gemma chat to Stratis Kas. Stratis is a diving instructor, explorer, film-maker, adventurer and has recently released his first book called Close Calls. It’s a collection of 68 gripping, personal close call stories by high profile technical divers about diving incidents that nearly cost them their lives. Incidents include entanglement, getting lost in caves, running out of gas, equipment failures, hypoxia, hypercapnia, caustic cocktails and more. He also talks about the amazing cave systems in Greece and how he started his scuba journey.

The BiG Scuba Podcast

The BiG Scuba Podcast is a UK based podcast, discussing everything to do with diving, other underwater and on the water activities and the ocean. Our hope is to promote scuba diving to more people including women. Ian Last and Gemma Kemp are the “I” and the “G” of The BiG Scuba Podcast. Ian is a PADI Divemaster, with about 300 dives from diving in the UK, Mexico and Red Sea. He works with our local PADI Dive Centre in Norwich, Norfolk and also teaches in the water. Gemma Kemp is a very positive person and makes a good ambassador for new women divers in the sport of scuba. Gemma began her scuba journey in January and continued studying through lockdown and then got some experience in our local rivers snorkelling. Gemma completed her PADI Open Water qualification in July 2020 and now has completed just short of 20 dives.
