Welcome to the Starfish TNG website and
homepage of British based deep wreck explorers Nick Gilbert
and Adina Ochert. We have over 35 years of diving experience
between us and have been at the forefront of UK and international
technical diving since the late 1990's.
Our most recent diving expeditions can be
accessed from this page (below), however if you are interested
in reading about many of the other amazing projects that we
have been involved in then please visit our
expeditions section.
We were members of the Starfish Enterprise
technical diving team for a number of years and although the
team are no-longer active as a group, we feel it is important
to acknowledge their significant and pioneering contribution
to the advancement of technical diving in the UK - for a complete
history please click on the Starfish
Enterprise link.

we are and the wrecks we have dived please click on the about

Out Scenario - Egypt |

|
|
|
 Anual
training exercise in the Red Sea designed to sharpen our emergency
bail-out drills. The culmination of this exercise was the
ultimate test of any rebreather bail-out strategy: the simulation
of a catastrophic failure of the breathing loop at 100 metres.

| RMS Justicia
& HMS Audacious - North Ireland |
|
|
|
|
 Of the
coast of Co Donegal, Ireland, in the hostile and unforgiving
waters of the North Atlantic lie some of the UK's most renowned
shipwrecks. Frequently battered by northwesterly gales these
sites are deep, exposed and invariably difficult to reach.
However for those who are persistent and adventurous enough
this location can arguably offer some of the best wreck diving
in the world. READ MORE ››
On 12th September 2005, Adina Ochert set
a world
record for the deepest female wreck diver after descending
to 144 metres on HMS Victoria, in Lebanon.
Women Divers Hall of Fame
 In March
2006 as an acknowledgement of her contribution to the exploration,
greater understanding, safety, and enjoyment of our underwater
world, Adina Ochert was nominated and accepted as a member
of the Women Divers Hall of Fame.
