CLUB VOODOO
Re-igniting the advanced diving community
SInce 1965 the scientific diving industry has advocated enriched air mediums and mixed gas as the key to diving deeper, longer and safer. Somewhere along the way that effort was hindered by ignorance and fear, with critics alleging we were ‘cowboys breathing voodoo gas’. Club VooDoo was established to reignite a movement that began more than 50 years ago by sharing the scientific basis behind technical diving applications like Nitrox and Rebreathers.
