Not every scuba diver decides to become also a deep-water diver and acquire technical diving skills. Today, we are going to talk to an Australian diver Helaina Wright; one of the few women holding a "Technical Diving Instructor" certification in Western Australia. We are meeting Helaina in Perth and talking about her journey in the depths of the ocean and underwater caves. Her passion for diving is highly contagious; after listening to this interview, you will definitely like to start with scuba diving too! [ Moderator: Marketa Melounova ]

Josh Richards may not have decades of caving experience under his belt, however what he does have is a love for Wombats and the desire to act like one at times.  Joking aside, Josh's thirst for adventure started whilst diving as a kid with his father, continuing into a military career as a soldier and Royal Marine, a comedian, a science geek, and even as a candidate with a one way ticket to inhabit Mars!

Josh talks openly about his journey through life and its various stages leading up to his discoveries with his dive wife, Matt Aisbett and in detail about the discovery itself. The Engelbrechts east extension. 

Englebrechts cave history

1865 - Originally described in a publication by Julian Tenison-Woods, the cave system was referred to as Vansittarts cave.

1885 - Carl Engelbrecht's purchase of a flour mill located nearby, which he converted  into a whiskey distillery (good man!) used the cave as a dumping ground for his waste products.  This led to the cave system being referred to as the Engelbrecht cave.

1929 - the land on which the cave is located was purchased by the then District Council and the cave was sealed off.

1969 - The council invites expressions of interest to open the cave for potential tourism.  Reportedly, it was not suitable for tourist development and remained shut.

1979 - The Lions Club of Mount Gambier commenced a project to beautify the cave to the tune of $10,000

1995 - Engelbrecht Cave was added to the South Australian Heritage Register 

2019 - Dive buddies Matthew Aisbett and Josh Richards mooch around the end of the east cave system and find access to an enormous previously undiscovered cave system running under the centre of town. 

2022 - Josh joins me on the show to reflect on many of his life adventures and what is now known as the Engelbrechts east extension.

We don't typically cover based-on-a-true-story films, but Thirteen Lives (2022) directed by Ron Howard seemed worth a watch. A retelling of the June 2018 incident where twelve Thai adolescents and their soccer coach were trapped in a flooded cave for 18 days and in need of rescue. Jason Furie and Adam Roth break it down and try and figure out why Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell are so unrecognizable here.

How do you sell your sporty vehicles to a millennial? We know how!

It's time to talk about one of the scariest movies we've ever seen, The Descent. It's a dark, scary, bloody, grizzly, absolutely horrifying movie - then the monsters show up. Come join us as we leave finger prints in our armrests as we watch six women voluntarily climb through spaces they can't stand up in and wonder how that could possibly go wrong.

We discuss such diverse topics as:
-Proper storage of pipes on a moving vehicle
-A little place called Appalachian Mountains, USA
-Night eagles
-How much easier it would be to tell people apart if you didn't cast five out of six bright white people
-Why you're not getting any of us near a cave
-Is this movie made by an anti-cave lobby?
-Everything is a Jacob's Ladder
-Double majoring in nursing and xenobiology
-Your buddy, Holly, and why she sucks
-Rebecca, the most competent person on the planet
-Monster merkins
-Flares make caves look really pretty, but we're still not going to any
-The revolutionary feminism of showing competent women on screen
-The not so revolutionary feminism of this movie's subplot
-A detailed list of when you should mercy kill us and which celebrities and fictional characters we would allow to eat our intestines.
-Killer rabbits
-Marketing to millennials
