Craig Challen is a Perth based technical and cave diver who is equally comfortable diving deep shipwrecks and exploring caves. He and your podcast host became friends in the mid 2000's when they discovered a shared passion for exploration, in particular in the niche area of ultra deep caves. Along with their tight knit friendship group (The Wetmules), they have travelled far and wide in the quest for new finds, developing techniques and technologies along the way.
In this conversation the banter is as thick as the stories are tall. There are stories of adventure and derring-do culminating the Thai Cave Rescue. Enjoy!

This is more informative than all the TV documentaries combined. Thank-you so much. And congratulations on such a brave and successful rescue.
13:44 "fake courage is just as good as real courage"
Just catching up on these but have laughed quite a bit at this one. Mostly the Christmas Island story. Your relationship is good fun.
I’ve just spent the weekend watching everything you guys did in the rescue…you are amazing gen xers! You’ve done us proud. Thank you for the inspiration
Last of the baby boomers here!
@@DrHarryH Noooooooo….oh well, you’ve still inspired me
@@Dougal969 Don't worry, Craig is the first of the GenX
@@DrHarryH I’d like to still argue that you have all the characteristics of a gen x…lol
Great to remember a truly heroic rescue.
I saw The Rescue on the Disney Channel so many times!!! I found it fascinating and the story so heartwarming. A celebration of the goodness of ordinary people and our basic humanity. I love listening to Dr Harris and Craig because they are natural storytellers so I have seen several of their interviews!!!! WOW!!!!!
You guys have a good sense of humour.
Of all the deep cave divers, I find Craig to be the one I would most likely befriend. Nice chap with a sense of humor and eye for detail.
Best ever !
Why have i not seen this earlier! Fantastic.
I raced dirt bikes for 20 years, compression fractures, Chance fracture etc. then my son was paralyzed racing dirt bikes. I started OC scuba for recreational fun. Last 5 years I’ve been going down the road of technical diving. It’s hard to find people who think this lifestyle is ok even normal. Thanks for sharing your story and lives.
Thanks William. Enjoy your diving!
So sad to hear about your son
Thank you for the podcast l have and read your book, good to have the true story,thank you also for keeping your hands down ,much better to watch than hands in the air , job well done, have you done much in 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿,
This inspiring
Love this content!!
So are Navy Seals incorporating cave diving in the training regiment?
Love this content from thailand listener. 😁
How cool these guys are.
Get Damien Siviero & Peter Fields on. Both great characters with plenty of great experience & stories to tell.
I would love to cave diving 💕
Rip to dom the team captain who died in England in 2023 from a head injury and the 2 Thai navy seals Suman gun an and the second navy seal who died from a blood infection contracted in the cave
I guess after retired Thai Navy Seal Saman Kunan died in the cave, to have 13 ambulances waiting outside just in case if any accidents happened was not such a bad idea.
Glad..I found you..
Is sedating a new accepted way of rescueing stranded people from flooded caves?
It's another tool in your toolbox, but I wouldnt say it is accepted based on one successful event.
Solute! 🫡

I think you are sending a wrong message about these "easy" 100m dives.
You are missing the point
