The Grey NATO - 123 - Diving Deeper With Ocean Explorer Extraordinaire Laurent Ballesta

Summary: It’s as easy as one-two-three for this episode of The Grey NATO which features an in-depth (accurate pun) chat between Jason and the wonderfully talented and very adventurous Laurent Ballesta. Widely known for his Blancpain-supported Gombessa projects, Ballesta is a world-class underwater photographer and has created several projects that pushed the very limits of diving, photography, and our collective knowledge of several key aquatic species. From deep dives under Antarctic ice to living at pressure for nearly a month of incredibly long and deep dives, his films are nothing short of TGN required viewing. Before that fascinating chat, the guys are catching up on end-of-summer camping plans, project property updates, Land Rover maintenance, and some excellent outerwear. Keep your fingers away from that pause button as James is sporting a brand new bag and Jason has a special report from a Royal Navy diver. Finally, a huge thank you to G-Shock and their Master Of G watches for supporting this episode of The Grey NATO. All this and more, just press play. 0:01 G-Shock Master Of G Watches https://bit.ly/masterofg 2:33 Norrøna Clothing https://bit.ly/33peiBd 17:05 CWC 1983 Quartz Royal Navy Divers watch http://bit.ly/2yprs1J 18:12 Tudor Black Bay Chrono Steel and Gold https://bit.ly/33dmMev 21:25 Laurent Ballesta https://bit.ly/2R9v8OF 22:00 Laurent’s book “700 Sharks In The Night” https://bit.ly/35iml5l 30:00 Blancpain Watches https://bit.ly/33e9bna 38:45 Blancpain Ocean Commitment https://bit.ly/3k67Fu8 48:20 Nikon D5 http://bit.ly/2H0Xx1I 1:33:15 Tango bag from The Observer Collection https://bit.ly/3k2VXjJ 1:34:10 Robert Spangle on Instagram http://bit.ly/2qwmmMQ 1:39:02 “From the Diary of a Royal Navy Dive Watch” via CWCaddict.com https://bit.ly/2R94xkQ
