Description

If you've ever wondered how divers make the Reef Smart guides (the plastic cards that show wrecks, reefs, dive sites, etc.), CEO Peter McDougall tells us how it's done. They make the books, giant slates that are used by many dive charters and Divemasters on famous dive sites, and they even make 3D models, soon to offer something new to resorts, their Guests, and famous dive locations around the world. These dive guides show pictures of dive sites, species, currents, and even the best places to start and finish the dive.
Lots of diving, lots of technology, and lots of research go into these, and Peter brings the energy and enthusiasm you'd expect from someone who literally loves what they do for a living.

Guest Peter Mcdougall is the CEO of Reef Smart USA, and has physically contributed to mapping and diving many of these sites.
