Stratis Kas, InDEPTH

Technical diver Stratis Kas is the editor-in-chief of InDEPTH and the lead author of “Close Calls.” Inspired by the need for more open conversations about near-misses, “Close Calls” shares hard-earned lessons from prominent dive industry figures, and reminds readers that even the most advanced divers make and learn from mistakes. In this episode with Frauke Tillmans, VP of research at DAN, Stratis also discusses his experiences as an exploration diver and a storyteller in the diving community — as well as his plans to carry forward InDEPTH’s mission to expand knowledge of what’s possible underwater and to spark dialogue across the diving world.
