Undersea or

only human
I
T’S BECOME A BIT OF A CLICHÉ
to compare the
diving experience with how we imagine space-
walks to be, but as a comparison it’s hard to resist.
Perhaps they’re even more similar than we thought.
Have you ever done something so daft on a dive that
it makes you want the seabed to swallow you up?
You scan the area ever-so-casually, taking in all the
divers in range in an effort to establish whether there
are any witnesses to your folly (don’t forget, there’s
always likely to be one lurking above you).
I’m sure most of us have done this at some time or
other. If we’re lucky the other divers will have been
too intent on their own dive to notice, and won’t
have been focusing an action-cam on you, ready to
post the embarrassing footage online.
Reassuring proof that such lapses happen even to the
most superhuman of beings occurred recently, but in
this case the transgression was definitely noticed. An
action-cam was involved, but in the culprit’s hands.
STEVE
WEINMAN,
EDITOR
That culprit was astronaut Drew Feustel, a flight
engineer on the International Space Station so, you’d imagine, pretty
savvy. He had embarked on a six-hour spacewalk with a space-buddy
to work on the ship’s external cooling system, and needed to record
the proceedings on his GoPro. Yes, even astronauts use them.
“Hey Houston, I gotta ask a question about the GoPro real quick,”
says Feustal, as we eavesdrop on YouTube. “I’m pushing the button,
and I see a ‘No SD’ – that means, do I need that to record? And if it’s
recording, is there supposed to be a red light on?”
After a long hiatus Houston replies: “I’m told that if it has the card in
it, it should have a red light if it’s recording.”
“And if it says ‘No SD’, what does that mean?” asks the starman.
“I think that means no card.”
As on a dive, you can’t just pop back if you’ve forgotten something.
Diver or spacewalker, we can feel Feustal’s pain, but there would be no
hiding place from the stream of online “comment” that followed.
Other than the depths of space.

HIS MONTH WE BRING YOU
exciting diving tales from the
likes of Marks Hatter, Milburn and Powell; Selcuk Kolay; John
Liddiard, Andrea Marshall and Stefan Panis – all highly experienced
divers who would
never
forget to load an SD card.
Not forgetting Henley Spiers, who has been trying out various dive-
logging apps for us – if nobody else is watching what we do, the silent
witness on our wrist or console is always there to tell tales.
And still talking of divers going off-script, Simon Pridmore brings us
the cautionary tale of lone-wolf Brian. You’ll have met Brian.
I (who naturally except myself from the pantheon of blameless divers
above) have been talking to Patrick Aryee. This TV wildlife presenter
had to develop fast from numpty to superhero diver if
he was to deliver the underwater sequences for his new
Sky series
Big Beasts – the Last Giants.
Because when you know that so many people will be
watching you dive, you
really
don’t want any mistakes!
