Off Gassing: A Scuba Podcast

By: Nicholas Hogle
  • Summary

  • One of my favorite things after a dive is engaging in conversation with other divers. This joy I have found is one of the biggest motivators behind my starting the podcast. I am on a journey to meet other scuba-minded individuals. Hear about the different aspects of this world I love so much. I want to converse with people of all levels. Speak to beginners all the way up to the experts and leaders in their fields, learn, and soak up knowledge from my fellow divers. From the shallow reefs of Indonesia to the deep wrecks of the Great Lakes, cold water quarries to the warm tropical waters. I do not want anyone left out as I navigate through the Scubaverse. Fun, easygoing, to controversial topics. Let's talk about all of it. I am also on a personal journey of educating myself and seeking proper training as I move through different levels of this sport. With nothing to hide and everything to show, the frustrations, the joys, and everything in between. Join me as we gas it up with some of the wonderful characters inside this story called Scuba.

  • A Conversation with Danielle Dillman
    Mar 12 2025

    Undeterred by world events, Danielle Dillman pursued her goal of becoming a certified diver. Starting as a dive tender at a local aquarium, she was introduced to the possibilities of the underwater world. Currently employed at the Georgia Aquarium, I get a chance to chat with her about some of the controversies surrounding aquarium diving and the importance of the research and conservation efforts conducted by aquariums. Women in Ocean Science, Accreditation process of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, marine research, aquaculture, and much more. Please enjoy.

  • A Conversation with Gemma Thomas
    Mar 6 2025

    Change is good, change is inevitable, change is mandatory. Late last year, Global Underwater Explorers updated and made changes to its standards and protocols. Some new courses were introduced, some older courses tweaked, and some names were changed. I invited GUE Recreational Program Director Gemma Thomas back to the podcast to clear up some confusion, gain insight, and chat with her about the “why" behind some of these changes. Please enjoy.

    GUE instructor, PADI Course Director, Musician, Dive magazine editor, Technical Diver, to say that Jesper Kjoller is a man who wears many hats would be an understatement. In this episode, I get a chance to sit down with him and hear his story. A journey that brought him to Dubai, where he resides as the Marketing Manager for the deepest pool in the world. Not just a pool but an experience waiting to be explored. Quest Magazine, Deep Dive Dubai, Storytelling, GUE community, and much more. Please enjoy.
