<p>The Last Breath is based on the unbelievable true story of a diving accident. Kenny speaks with movie Director Alex Parkinson and Producer David Brooks to better understand the thought process behind the movie. Both Guests are co-writers of the 2025 movie, and give an inside look at some of the behind-the-scenes challenges and obstacles. </p><p><strong>Spoiler Alert: </strong>This is an early review and discussion of plot points and questions about the Last Breath. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I’d definitely recommend it!</p><p>Our interview discusses how actors Fin Cole, Simu Liu and Woody Harrelson were able to capture the true emotion of being trapped in a dangerous rescue mission deep underwater. </p><p>This movie has a realistic, visceral feel to it. Aside from a little (visually stunning) creative license, it follows the real story of Chris Lemons, the commercial saturation diver who got stranded in a heavy dive suit on the seafloor of the North Sea. If that wasn’t enough, it was during a storm, and at night.</p><p>We got to discuss the set pieces, where it was filmed, and the challenges the producer and directors faced, and ultimately overcame.</p><p>They also discussed how much scuba training the actors had to undergo, the screening process, and how they handled being underwater during filming. </p><p>Finally, we discuss the ending, the theories on how he was able to survive, and the strength to get back out there and dive.</p><p>It’s a movie about human survival, the life of a commercial deep saturation diver, and the drive to return to work after going through such a harrowing life-or-death situation.</p><p>Finn Cole stars as Chris Lemons, Woody Harrelson as Duncan Allock, and Simon Liu as Dave Yuasa.</p><p>Directed by Alex Parkinson (co-writer)</p><p>Produced by David Brooks (co-writer)</p><p><a href="https://www.focusfeatures.com/last-breath/"><u>https://www.focusfeatures.com/last-breath/</u></a></p><p>—</p><p>Kenny Dyal is the host of The Scuba Diving Podcast:</p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kenny_dyal"> https://www.tiktok.com/@kenny_dyal</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweetwater_scuba"> https://www.instagram.com/sweetwater_scuba</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/realkennydyal?mibextid=LQQJ4d"><u>https://www.facebook.com/realkennydyal</u></a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kennydyal"> www.linkedin.com/in/kennydyal</a></p><p>X:<a href="https://twitter.com/RealKennyDyal"> https://twitter.com/RealKennyDyal</a></p><p>www.sweetwaterscuba.com</p>

<p>The inventor of Avelo explains exactly how it works and why it’s changing how people go scuba diving.</p><p>Aviad Cahana invented this new system, intended to make scuba diving easier, more accessible, and just a lot more fun.</p><p>Buoyancy Control is no longer an obstacle, especially for new divers and students.</p><p>Scuba Diving is also somewhat restrictive due to carrying lots of weight (especially shore diving), and this reduces the overall weight a diver has on their back.</p><p>Scuba Diving is not only safer with this system, but it also reduces air consumption (even for professionals). </p><p>Aviad also reveals some wild research into buoyancy, weight, and wetsuits, turning what we’ve been teaching Open Water students upside down.</p><p>Renowned underwater stunt performer, Liz Parkinson also explains her endorsement of this device. This brings the world of scuba diving much closer to the experience of freediving, without the breathhold limitations. </p><p>The Avelo System is already changing the future of scuba diving. Hope you love this video breaking it down.</p><p><a href="https://diveavelo.com/"><u>https://diveavelo.com/</u></a></p><p>—</p><p>Kenny Dyal is the host of The Scuba Diving Podcast:</p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kenny_dyal"> https://www.tiktok.com/@kenny_dyal</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sweetwater_scuba"> https://www.instagram.com/sweetwater_scuba</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/realkennydyal?mibextid=LQQJ4d"><u>https://www.facebook.com/realkennydyal</u></a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kennydyal"> www.linkedin.com/in/kennydyal</a></p><p>X:<a href="https://twitter.com/RealKennyDyal"> https://twitter.com/RealKennyDyal</a></p><p>www.sweetwaterscuba.com</p>
