Present Ideas For Divers: Fourth Element Water Bottle
“For years we thought the oceans were so vast and the inhabitants so infinitely numerous that nothing we could do could have an effect upon them. But now we know that was wrong. Surely, we have a responsibility to care for our blue planet?”
– David Attenborough, Blue Planet II
This week the Blue Planet II concluded with some stark facts.
At present we use over 35 million plastic bottles a year in the UK, and we live in an area where tap water is safe to drink!
A simple way to reduce your consumption of one-time-use plastic is to stop buying bottled water. Instead keep a refillable bottle handy and save money too.
If you are out and about and not sure where to top up, this App will tell you where you can fill your bottle for free.
With Christmas on the horizon why not treat yourself and a loved one to Fourth Element’s 750ml water bottle? It is manufactured from BPA free recycled plastic and being priced at a mere £5.95, it won’t break the bank.
A refillable water bottle is good for the boat, your day pack, the office or the gym, and will help keep you hydrated in an environmentally friendly manner. And it is a better solution for our Blue Planet too!

The BiG Scuba Podcast Episode 173: DEEP – Making Humans Aquatic
Gemma and Ian visited DEEP and were hosted by Phil Short, Research Diving, Training Lead, and were given a tour of the facility at Avonmouth and then over to the Campus at Tidenham.
DEEP is evolving how humans access, explore and inhabit underwater environments. Through flexible, modular and mobile subsea habitats that allow humans to live undersea up to 200m for up to 28 days, work-class submarines, and advanced human performance research, DEEP completely transforms what we are capable of underwater and how we conduct undersea science and research.
