This week we'll wrap up International Cave Diving Month with a discussion that centers around the death of iconic cave diver Rob Palmer, and the "chaos" that ensued from comments made by another iconic cave diver....good ol' GI III... Trey...otherwise known as George Irvine III. This was the epitome of the tech/cave diving community back in it's infancy, as well as that of the Internet, and it's role in the evolution of diving to arrive at where we are today.

The technical diving world was in its youth, the fundamentals class was born, and so was the internet. But what was it that had the entire scuba world so upset? What was at the heart of George’s message? What was he saying?

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.
