In the mid-90’s everyone had a personal desktop computer and decompression software was the new tool for dive planning. This week, we discuss Bill Hamilton and George Irvine’s look at decompression software. The path for ascent was evolving, but we were still working with adapting the same old navy tables.

Join the boys as they continue their discussion on dive tables (and everything else!)! How important are the numbers? What role does ascent rate play in the development of the different tables?? And what effect does it have on the test results? Is it even addressed in those old days? How hostile are those tables?? Should I just buy the most expensive dive computer? Why can't you do the math? How old are these guys??? What about the tonic water?? Who brought the gin? Where's this all going?? Have a listen and find out!!

Get in the ring with Jamesy and Brando this week as they go a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson and discuss the psychological aspects of diving. What can boxing teach us about scuba? How do you react when anger, ego, and frustration enter your mind underwater? Even positive emotions can give us problems while diving. Let’s go diving.

This week Jamesy and Brando continue talking about dive bodies and some of the inherent flaws in the buddy system. To find some support for this discussion they dig up an old article from DAN’s Alert Diver magazine. After knowing and reporting of all the breakdowns in the buddy system, traditional scuba still doesn’t teach a model that supports the buddy team.

We all learn in Open Water 101 that diving uses a 'buddy system" for several reasons. These reasons include equipment redundancy in case of failure, enjoyment of the dive, and sharing the experience. BUT, is a "buddy" enough? Too often the "buddy" is nothing more than a "body" and the asset that the system proclaims to be is actually a liability. Find out what happens when two divers become paired up randomly at the spur of the moment on a pretty routine recreational dive. How can the dive community work towards improving and avoiding this all too common occurrence? Have a listen!! Click Here To Listen!!
