In this special on-location edition of Marketing Minutes by Scuba Diving Industry Magazine, Britain Cline connects with Jim Elliott at the Scuba Show 2026 in Long Beach, California to discuss major updates across several of his ongoing projects.
Jim shares news on the upcoming film Sharing Air, a passion project based on a book he co-authored with a close colleague. After years of development, the film has now completed initial editing and early screenings, with plans to enter film festivals and pursue broader distribution.
Beyond film, Jim also highlights his continued work with medical and research communities, including ongoing presentations with organizations like the Mayo Clinic, where diving-related insights and health applications are being explored.
A major focus of the conversation centers on the Deep Pool project—an ambitious concept years in the making. Originally inspired by NASA’s neutral buoyancy training facilities, the project has evolved into a large-scale, purpose-built diving environment designed to support training, research, and therapeutic applications.
With patented design features, the proposed facility would accommodate hundreds of divers and incorporate multi-depth training platforms. The project is also tied to promising research around diving and its potential benefits for veterans dealing with PTSD and other conditions.
Now gaining renewed momentum with international interest and potential funding partners, the Deep Pool project is positioning itself as a future global destination for diving, training, and research.
From filmmaking to medical collaboration and large-scale infrastructure, this conversation showcases the kind of long-term vision and cross-industry thinking shaping the future of diving.
