For the third episode of this year’s Cave Diving Month, the boys continue their look at world famous cave explorer Sheck Exley. In 1988, Sheck and author Ned Deloach made their way 1,500 miles from Live Oak, FL to Cuidad Mante, Mexico to try to reach the bottom of what was thought to be the deepest cave in the world.

This week the boys dive back into the second half of Sheck Exley’s Accident Analysis Revisited article from 1990 in Underwater Speleology Magazine. The discussion moves from an associative approach to looking at causality. Other factors about diving fatalities are also discussed that effect both cave divers and open water divers as well.

This week, Ol' Jamesy and I kick off the highly anticipated International Cave Diving Month!! And we do so with none other than the legend himself, Sheck Exley! His article in the NSS-CDS Magazine "Underwater Speleology" (Vol. 17 No. 4)entitled "Accident Analysis Revisited" provides us some insight and fodder for discussion into the growth and development of Cave Diving Training. But can open water divers benefit from this approach? Have a listen as we kickoff International Cave Diving Month with this multi episode dive! (Underwater Speleology Vol 17 No 4)

In this week's episode the boys discuss the results of several surveys from Scubanomics (https://medium.com/scubanomics)that are giving us a glimpse into the current state of the Scuba industry. Scubanomics is the creation of Darcy Kiernan & Michael Menduno as a project of The Business of Diving Institute (https://www.businessofdiving.com/)with the mission of helping with "the propagation of valuable, actionable information on the scuba diving industry, including market data and statistics, and dive industry analysis." Some of the results of these surveys is surprising. Have a listen!

This week's episode centers around proper gas planning and a few years back Ol' Steve Lewis penned an article regarding this very subject! While Steve had the quotes from Charles Dickens and even Buddha a little confused, the gist of the article was right on target!! Save more than you think you'll need and approach dive planning with the "SHTF" moment occurring at the worst possible moment and you might be adequately prepared for diving! Click Here To Listen!!

The boys dig out the very first, “I Learned About Diving From That…” article published in Skin Diver. Too deep, too fast. This is a lesson about ego. A love story with Eric the Instructor and Patch Jacket Joyce. When you fixate on a target and the dive becomes all about a goal, you lose the importance of the journey.

In an article from the "Lessons For Life" section at ScubaDiving.com, a situation involving an underwater photographer and her buddy that was nearly disastrous when the two divers lose focus of each other, time, depth, and location.... which is easy to do when one diver is focused on the eyepiece of a camera and another is focused on anything else but their dive buddy.
