In this week’s Big BOAT Interview, Lucy Dunn sits down with Richard Wiese, president emeritus of The Explorers Club, who has made travelling the world his life and career. Exploration is less about testosterone-fuelled expeditions, he says, and more about experiencing different cultures (and food). Taking risk is par for the course, and he pays respects to fellow explorer and good friend Hamish Harding, who died in the Titan tragedy. His one regret is that he will never have time to see the whole world, “It’s like an addiction, once you’ve seen one place you want to see more,” he says. https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-events/explorer-yachts-summitBOAT Pro: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-proSubscribe: https://www.boatinternational.com/subscriptionsContact us: [email protected]

In this week's Big BOAT Interview, Stewart sits down with Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, the director of three of the highest-grossing films of all time: Titanic, Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water. The pair discuss Cameron's love of exploration, why he decided to put his money where his mouth is by investing in Triton Submarines alongside hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio, and what it was like to see the wreck of the Titanic looming out of the deep for the very first time. In 2012, Cameron became the first person to make a solo dive to Challenger Deep, the deepest point in any ocean, and talks about what it was like to be more distant from the rest of humanity than anyone else on earth. The filmmaker has lots more to discover in the deep sea, especially around hydrothermal vents, which he says is like "going to another planet".

The pair remember their friend Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who lost his life in the incident, and discuss why the OceanGate submersible was an accident waiting to happen.
