This week the boys finish up their 3-part series on The Octopus Alternative and round out a few more claw hammer metaphor jokes. Is the best piece of equipment any good if how to use it isn’t practiced?

They continue with the article that addresses the need for an alternate air source to donate and breathe from. But is the problem an equipment issue or is it something that will always be there unless the training is corrected?

This week the boys discuss what can be learned from this real life gas sharing incident and why these real life experiences almost never unfold like they do in the book and in class. Join Jamesy and Brando for part one of a multi part series exploring this real life gas share that should have been a simple exercise of a skill that was learned in Open Water 101 but turned deadly due to simple, easy, and often made mistakes.

Typical in many ways for many divers but when one little problem starts the snowball rolling down the hill, things can go bad quickly. The problem is trying to learn from it and not letting it reinforce bad habits.

A 100m deep shipwreck and a diver with only a year of experience. It did not end very well, but that's because it did not start very well either.

In his book, Daryl relates much of what is learned as we progress through diving to important lessons that help us live as better humans. We really enjoyed making this episode and it has earned a spot as one of our favorite episodes to create. Have a listen, we're sure you're going to gain some insight and enjoy!

Another episode of TGDP and another lesson learned. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that just because you are doing a shallow dive that you don’t need to do your proper preparations.

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?

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.

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!!

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.
