🎙️ Fancy Supporting the Show? Help Keep It Deep, Delightful, and Delightfully Ad-Free! 🇬🇧🌊🎧

Hello, Lovely Listener!

If the Confessions of a Diving Junkie have ever made you laugh, think or mutter “brilliant” while doing the washing up or travelling to work, why not consider leaving a little gratuity? Think of it as buying me a cuppa or a post-dive vino.

I’m keen to keep this show gloriously free of ads for questionable mattresses and miracle hair tonics. Yet producing quality content (and keeping the gear from falling apart) takes time, tea and a bit of funding.

Your support will go directly towards creating the new series: A Diver’s Guide to Taiwan - a deep dive into the island’s most stunning underwater spots and the vibrant communities that surround them.

In the new Series, we’ll be exploring:

  • 🐠 Top diving locations around Taiwan
  • 🌊 What lies beneath
  • 🏝️ Local culture and coastal communities (simply because the stories on land are just as rich as those under the sea)

Fun facts about Taiwan to tickle your curiosity:

  • 🇹🇼 Taiwan is home to over 10% of the world’s marine species, despite covering just 0.02% of the Earth’s surface.
  • 🪸 It sits at the edge of the Coral Triangle, making it a hotspot for coral reef biodiversity and a diver’s dream. 
  • 🐢 Taiwan has established marine protected areas like the Liuqiu Aquatic Organisms Conservation Zone to safeguard its underwater ecosystems. 
  • 🌿 The island boasts 9 national parks and 22 nature reserves, protecting everything from cloud forests to coral reefs.

So if you'd like to help me swap ad reads for dive fins and storytelling, pop a few quid in the virtual tip jar. It’s like tipping your favourite pub storyteller - only slightly soggier.

Thanks ever so much for listening, laughing and keeping this little passion project afloat.

Cheers,

Stephanie x
