The global diving community is rallying behind Michael Menduno, Editor-in-Chief of InDEPTH and a true pioneer in technical diving, following news of his recent stroke.
The following is taken from a post on the InDEPTH Facebook page announcing the sad news.
It is with a heavy heart that I share some difficult news. Our beloved friend and Editor-in-Chief of InDEPTH, Michael Menduno, has suffered a stroke and is currently in the hospital on the road to recovery.
Michael is more than just an editor—he is a pioneer, a storyteller, and a guiding voice who has given so much to all of us in the diving and technical diving community. His vision, passion, and tireless dedication have helped shape the way we see and share our underwater world.
Those who know him know that Michael is a true fighter. Surrounded by his wife, he is focusing fully on healing and taking the first steps toward recovery.
For now, he is not able to communicate, so we gently ask you to give him and his family the space they need during this time.
The InDEPTH team will continue his mission, carrying forward the spirit and legacy Michael has built with such love for our community—keeping it strong and ready for the day we welcome him back.
All requests and communications may please be directed to me.
With love and respect,
Stratis Kas
