A scuba podcast · hosted by Nick Hogle · Tanjung Bira, Indonesia
The conversation that starts when the dive ends. 184 long-form talks with divers of every kind — first fins to trimix, reef guides to cave explorers.
The most recent dives into conversation.
“One of my favorite things after a dive is engaging in conversation with other divers.” — that joy is the whole reason this show exists. Interviews run long on purpose; audio articles run short on purpose.

Off Gassing started in 2023 as one diver's excuse to keep the post-dive conversation going. Since then it's become 184 episodes with reef guides, dive medics, wreck hunters, cave explorers, conservationists, and the quietly brilliant people who fill tanks and fix regulators.
Along the way the show's host, Nick Hogle, followed the same path his guests describe — deeper into technical and cave diving — and moved the whole operation to Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi, where he now runs Tek Deep Asia Sulawesi. Season 4 brings the show on camera, filmed in the field with the divers doing the work.
Guests have included Patrick Widmann · Jesper Kjøller · WreckSploration · Rinto Ariyadi · Priyamvada Tiwari · Dr. Sarah Mormino · Gideon Liew · Maxime Cheminade …
The podcast lives where the diving is. Tek Deep Asia Sulawesi is Nick's technical diving centre in Tanjung Bira — deep walls, sharks and current, five minutes from shore, with full gas blending and technical support on site. Intro to Tech runs now; the full SSI/TDI technical ladder arrives through 2027.
