Scientists have found that listening to The Great Dive Podcast may or may not reduce your chances of getting the dreaded Coronavirus. However, it may increase your chances of drinking a Corona or three this week... because we head off to Cozumel in a story that has nothing to do with the motherf'ing coronavirus....suck it media.... Join Jamesy & Brando as they celebrate their 3rd year as "professional" (and I use the term loosely) podcasters putting out the weekly edition of The Great Dive Podcast (and they said we wouldn't last...and by "they" I mean we- Brando & Jamesy). It's been a ton of work but even a ton more fun and that is thanks to all of our great listeners and supporters! So thank you! Hang in there folks! Maybe this'll help distract from the constant barrage of doom! Click Here To Listen!! Join your TGDP buddies as they discuss one of Brando's favorite preaching points. Failure Points. How many of these little plastic problems are you wearing?
Click Here To Listen! It's quite a philosophical question that is more appropriate for Yoda to answer than Ol' Jamesy & Brando.... but have a listen as we attempt to break down a story old as time in the scuba world. Listen as the boys examine one diver's experience of a nearly fatal accident and his "takeaway" from that experience.
Click Here To Listen!! What's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!! Let's go ice diving AND take some photos!! Join the boys as they discuss taking your underwater photography under the ice to get those interesting and unique shots that are available for only a short time of the year and in the cooler climates.
Click Here To Listen!! The boys get back to a fan favorite, underwater photography. What do you do when the dive changes? Maybe it’s because of the weather, maybe it’s because of a mechanical problem with the boat, or maybe it’s the bio-rhythms of your hard-bodied models that prevents them from diving… probably an ear problem. Anyway, when things go bad you can make some easy changes to your perspective to still come away with a great dive and some even better photographs.
Click Here To Listen! In 1960, America’s Greatest Diver was lost inside of a cave near Cassis, France. The search for Conrad Limbaugh included the French and U.S. Navy, dive teams from Cousteau and a commercial company Sogetram and more. While trying to learn more about fish symbiosis and cleaning stations he ventured past the Cone of Stones and that is where he took his last breath.
Click Here To Listen! The alternate title of this episode was going to be, “19 Inches of Silt.” Johnny Cash wrote a song about it. Today, Jamesy and Brando dig up a story about one of the most feared disasters while cave diving. Losing the line home. There are lessons to be learned and songs to be sung.
Click Here To Listen! As a diver who do you look up to? Your Instructor? A buddy or a mentor? Who do they look up to? Chances are, no matter how good you are or how much experience or levels of certification you have there is always someone you still look up to. Cave diving has a tradition of this mentoring and building experience is favored over getting another card. Join us as we look up to the pros from an apprentice’s perspective.
Click Here To Listen!! They knew it 25 years ago and yet, much has not changed. Can the recreational scuba diving world learn anything from the cave diving world? Tune in to this week's episode as the boys continue their celebration of National Cave Diving Month with a discussion centering around an article from 1995 by PADI's own Karl Shreves when he took his first Cave Diving Course and what he learned from his experience.
Click Here To Listen!! This week the boy's tackle the most divisive topic within the Scuba Community. No matter which side of the aisle your particular mindset has you pitching your tent, we think you'll get a "kick" out of today's episode! We went to the Internet for the idea of tackling this topic and we hope you enjoy....although we know this particular debate will never be "fin-ished". Relax and have a listen!!
Click Here To Listen!! In the year 2020 divers have so many resources to inform them about their amount of remaining gas, however out of airs still happen. Why? Join Jamesy and Brando for this self-addressed stamped episode of TGDP to find the answers.
Click Here To Listen! It’s 2020 and a new year for a new you. Many divers will start off the year with a fitness plan and a fresh awareness of their health. But what is the right fitness level for safe scuba diving? Well, sit back and listen as the two fittest scuba hunks on our show, who have no fitness accreditation to their name, talk to you about breathing, heart rates and yoga.
Click Here To Listen! The boys sit down and have a rap about all the fun stuff and shenanigans from 2019. The highs, the lows, the good times and the bad. We remember our favorites and take a fun look at all our fans from around the world. Thank you to everyone who listened in 2019 and we look forward to next year.
Click Here To Listen! What were you doing in January of 1992? Brando was playing volleyball and drinking Michelob, James was still in High School and our subjects of today’s show were diving in a river near Glasgow, Montana. This old story gets us thinking about old lessons that were supposed to be learned, but were they? Has the thinking or actions changed in the almost 30 years since?
Click Here To Listen! Ok, now I realize that this could happen any day of the year not just Friday the 13th so the title is totally not accurate....or IS IT? Today is Friday the 13th and this could happen today and even in warm water.... so maybe it is pretty accurate. Actually, if we really think about it, this title should be changed to "An Anyday, Anywhere, Any temperature Water Diving Lesson"... but that sounds ridiculous and no one will listen to it. So we'll just call it "A Friday The 13th Cold Water Diving Lesson"... but with the added caveat that it could happen on any day and in any temperature water! Have a listen!
Click Here To Listen!! It's time for what has become a most treasured holiday tradition at the TGDP households around the globe, the annual Christmas Wishlist!! Have a listen as the boys review the eagerly awaited Christmas Wishlist from Scuba Diving Magazine's 2019 Holiday Gift Guide!
