The Great Dive Podcast

What's all the fuss about decompression about?? After receiving more than a few requests to touch upon the subject of ratio deco, the boys finally cover this voodoo decompression witchcraft ... as well as the prim and proper use of dive computers and the ancient forbidden knowledge of dive tables...

The boys dive into one of their favorite subjects...underwater photography! The digital world has made great photography readily attainable by most everyone... but should all divers have cameras with them underwater? Sit back and listen to the first of a series covering underwater photography!

On a research dive for the Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society, the boys visit Orchard Lake's famous Apple Island, in search of artifacts, ghosts, and moccasins... At the end of the podcast James gives a full reading of "The Legend of Me-Na-Sa-Gor-Ning" in a way that only James can do...!

J & B decided to dive a little deeper into the subject of "out of air" just as an interesting magazine article was released. Listen as they get to the root of it all and add a little bit of that, "Je ne sais quoi"!

Springtime gear service.... how often do you service your gear? Once a year? Twice a year? 12 times a year? 15 times a year? Only whe it's broken? Never? Listen to James & Brando discuss gear service and when it's time to service it or just throw it in the ol' dumpster!

After you got your C-card, were you satisfied or did it seem something was missing? Was there something more? Something deeper to this diving stuff? The boys continue their discussion of the art of diving, specifically, seeking out good, high quality instruction.... and French Fries... and although they may not sound like they should "go together", listen as James & Brando intertwine fast food and scuba diving instruction...:-).

James & Brando talk about the gear you need for scuba diving. The boys discuss some tips about gear choices for divers just becoming certified and how they will grow with their gear...and although we don't like to mention brand names, Brando mentions a lot of them!

Sit back and enjoy as the boys read from the scripture of JC (Jacques Cousteau's "Le Monde Du Silence")... relive a few of the adventures as James and Brando celebrate Easter in Part 1 of a 3 series podcast resurrecting the memory of Jacques Yves Cousteau!

As Brando prepares for a holiday dive with his wife, the boys discuss what it means to be a good buddy!

Join the boys as the dive into episode two with a big topic to get your fins shaking. The advanced diver! Is it a card? Is it a class? Is it a purchase or an experience? Take a listen share it with your buddies, and send us some feedback via comments or email at www.thegreatdivepodcast.com

James & Brando talk about how they got into diving and why thirty years later, they decide to start a podcast to talk about their favorite subject...diving! Learn why they began this endeavor and where they want to go with it in this first episode of "The Great Dive Podcast"!
