Offgassing Podcast - part 1
In part one of this episode, I speak with the 2022 GUE NextGen Scholar, Jenn Thomson. After learning to dive in Thailand, she instantly knew that scuba diving was going to be a lifelong passion. She shares with me the GUE Scholarship process, a brief overview of her year after winning the award, some goals for the future, connecting with the GUE community, her mission to highlight a different side of the agency, and much more. Stay tuned for part two, for her time as the NextGen Scholar. Please enjoy.

Offgassing Podcast - part 2
A year where opportunities were created, friendships were made, knowledge was gained, a year that changed her life. When Jenn Thomson received a call from GUE founder and president Jarrod Jablonski, informing her she was the 2022 recipient of the NeXtGen Scholarship, she knew she had to make the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime chance. In part two of her interview, I speak with her more in-depth about her travels, different courses, responsibilities, and her future with Global Underwater Explorers. Please enjoy.

Offgassing Podcast - part 3
The importance of quality training becomes apparent as we move through the levels of the sport. Natural progression is inevitable as we gain proficiency. The unachievable becomes attainable as experience is gained. Welcoming back Jenn Thomson, I get a chance to hear about her progression. Her journey through Cave 1, settling into her role with Global Underwater Explorers as Global Project Co-ordinator, her path to becoming an instructor, what is in store for the future, and much more. Please enjoy.
