EuroTek Presenter
Teresa Telus
Teresa Telus is one of the worlds leading female shipwreck
divers who has accomplished equal to that of her male counterparts
in deep diving. She has dived famous shipwrecks such as the
Lusitania, Egypt and Britannic spending long bottom times at
depth filming and setting up shots for her partner. Recently
she has explored the deep wrecks of the famous Truk Lagoon which
she will be talking about |
|
| at EuroTek.08. Influenced at an early age by the space landings,
Teresa Telus developed a love of flight and technology and a
passion for exploration. After flying gliders for 10 years she
and her partner Kevin Pickering started diving and found there
were a few like-minded divers around the world from joining
the American “tech-diver” forums and reading Aquacorps
magazine. |
 |
Early adoption of rebreathers, over 10 years ago,
enabled her to do the extensive exploration of the shipwrecks
she had a passion for. Diving RMS Lusitania in 2000 on the AP
Valves Inspiration rebreather and then going back to video survey
the shipwreck the following year.
She has dived numerous virgin shipwrecks in the English Channel
and has raised two ships bells to her name, to the envy of many
shipwreck explorers. |
| As part of Carl Spencer’s HMHS Britannic expedition
in 2003 to understand and prove why Britannic sank faster than
her sister ship Titanic, Teresa pulled longer bottom times at
depth, with the associated decompression penalties, than all
her male counterparts; consolidating her reputation for doing
the diving and not just talking a good dive and being one of
the worlds top technical female divers. |
 |
Technical dives she has been on include
some of the world’s most famous shipwrecks: RMS
Lusitania, HMHS Britannic, HMS Russell, HMS Vandal, Flying
Enterprise and the gold ship SS Egypt. |
Throughout her career she has worked with her partner Kevin
Pickering to bring back top quality film of the all historic
shipwrecks they dive, forming an archive for generations to
come. By choreographing their dives and using various techniques
developed over time, their footage has been used by several
TV companies, including Tg4, National Geographic and Discovery
Channels.
Between dives Teresa and Kevin now spend much of their time
editing film in Hi-Def at their studio in the South East of
England, some of which can be seen on their web site: www.shipwreckfilms.co.uk
At EuroTek.08 Teresa Telus will be presenting
on a recent trip to the awesome Truk Lagoon where she specifically
traveled to explore many of the deeper less dived wreck sites.
Her presentation will use Photography from Leigh Bishop &
High Definition footage by her partner Kevin Pickering. More
