This week the boys take a look at another shark chick, Ocean Ramsey. Many call her a shark whisperer and a conservationist, but others still find a problem with her interactions with sharks. Does she invade their space and make a bad example for others or is she showing us that just because you are in the water with sharks doesn’t mean that you are about to be eaten. Dive into this episode with us.

Episode 272 – Decompression and the Single Tank

6/24/2022

0 Comments

 
One of the most popular tanks for American divers, cylinders for the rest of the world, was the Steel 72. Really, it was 71.2 cubic feet. Actually, it was only 64.63 cubic feet if it wasn’t overfilled 10%. For years it was regarded as the perfect size, and there was a belief that you couldn’t get into decompression with it. This week the boys dive into a piece by USAF Capt Robert D. Smith and get intimate with gas planning.

So, without a second thought we knew we needed to produce an episode that addressed a bit of the history and the use of the Pee Valve..... and even if you're not bursting with enthusiasm over pee valves, you'll be relieved when you listen to this week's episode!

Episode 255 – Guidelines For Survival Tom Mount 2

2/25/2022

0 Comments

 
What is the true heart of scuba diving? Is it exploration? Or is it recreation? How did our pioneers look at the game we play today? With the passing of Tom Mount, the boys take a second look at his past and try to capture the essence of his philosophy. From recreational to technical diving, Tom Mount drew a line in the sand and fought for the diver. He was willing to walk away from the blossoming scuba industry and start his own educational agency and share his philosophy. Jamesy and Brando take a deep dive and try to share the thinking of the man and remember what he did.
