In this episode, I sit down with Dik Barton a man whose career has taken him to the very edge of human exploration and the heart of offshore safety.

Dik has made an astonishing 22 dives down to the wreck of the Titanic, seen first-hand what most of us only glimpse in documentaries, and led safety operations in some of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.

We spoke about:

• What it feels like to be over two miles under the Atlantic staring at history • How the discipline and mindset needed in those depths translates to leadership offshore • His candid thoughts on the Titan sub disaster and why these stories resonate far beyond the industry • The evolution of safety culture and what still needs to change

It is not often you meet someone who has balanced adventure, risk, and responsibility on such a scale. Dik’s insights are a reminder of how far we have come in safety and how far there is still to go.
