Women Underwater Available Now!

By | All Posts, Women Underwater | No Comments

Our first shipment of books just arrived and are now available for order. This first batch of 40 will be signed by both authors! We can’t always get together for signing, so these will be special! We met on the side of the road and signed them in the back of my 1996 Volvo!  We’ve built on the work of others and want to recognize some of the great people that helped make Women Underwater possible. In 1979, Susan Bangasser and Jeanne Bear Sleeper published the first book to specifically reach women divers. In 1992, Ella Jean Morgan and Erin O’Neill…

Death of the Canister Light

By | All Posts, Cave Diving, Rebreather Diving, Sidemount Diving, Underwater Photo and Video, Women Underwater | No Comments

My first primary light for cave diving was so heavy I had to mount it on two large D-rings and hang it from the bottom of my tanks. The bulky rectangular housing concealed two large sealed lead acid batteries. A hefty cord lead to a metal light head that could double as a sledgehammer. One day it switched on in the van and burned a hole in the carpet before I could get it shut off. I used to wait to the very last moment possible before turning the light on, well into the cavern zone, trying to save every…

Ebola – A Nurse’s Perspective

By | All Posts, Robert McClellan | No Comments

Ebola – A Nurse’s Perspective by Robert McClellan   Many of you know that I possess a nursing license. I don’t dare say “I’m a Nurse,” because I haven’t touched a patient in nearly five years. However, I have worked in a variety of health care environments, from Cardiac Cath Labs to the ER at Florida State Prison. I know a thing or two about isolation precautions, personal protection equipment and body fluids. Perhaps from my experience working at a prison, surrounded by, and treating such a high-risk population as male inmates, I’ve become acutely aware of how easy it…

Water Footprint

By | All Posts, We Are Water | No Comments

If you have seen the film We Are Water, you’ve already been introduced to the concept of a water footprint. It takes water to grow, nurture and process the foods we eat every day. This article in Huffington Post this morning, helps put a number on the gallons of water per pound required for food production. After reading it, I hope you’ll consider eating a little less meat and being at least a part time vegetarian. It is good for the planet!

Earth’s Changes in Surprising Ways as Ice Melts

By | All Posts, Sedna Expedition, We Are Water | No Comments

This article in the Daily Beast confirms a simple truth. As we lose large areas of ice cover, the earth changes in dramatic ways. When I wrote the movie Ice Island in 2000, I learned that the ice was so thick over Antarctic that is squeezed the earth into a slight pear shape. The large mass also affects gravity and as we shift mass around the planet by melting ice, there are documentable changes that are happening very quickly. The Daily Beast sums it up well.

Boom Baby Boom – Volume One

By | All Posts, Cave Diving, Rebreather Diving, Robert McClellan, Uncategorized, Underwater Photo and Video | No Comments

I’m so proud to announce that my husband Robert McClellan has released his first book. It has been a real journey of discovery for him. I recall the day almost eight years ago, when he expressed the desire to share his story. The revelations he shares in Boom Baby Boom represent a lifetime of challenge, discovery and hard knocks. We’ve been married for seven years and he has been an incredible asset to Heinerth Productions as a writer, producer and talented audio engineer. We’re both explorers in life, but his unique social perspective was formed on the working class streets of Philadelphia,…
