  • Wet Pay: The career of Sam Humphrey
    We interview Sam Humphrey! An amazing man and diver. I first met Sam on the job working for Global Diving and Salvage. It’s great to see and read his book about his career. Sam suffered a motorcycle accident that left him paralyzed and ended his dive career. We are so grateful that he was able to overcome a terrible accident and write a book chronicling his diving career. The book pulls no punches and is a fun look into the diving business decades ago. Sam’s book is entitled Wet Pay and it comes highly recommended by us! Find his book on Amazon! Check this out! https://a.co/d/2USDXDr Chad Kasin a former dive shack guest and friend of Sam stops by as well to reminisce and say hi!

  • No dive work? "Testing" the waters of Topside NDT

    We have Ken Kuhlman on the show to talk about what happens if diving is not working out. Some may not be able to find work right away, dive work may have dried up, you find out that commercial diving is not what it's all cracked up to be, or your body may not be cut out anymore for the rigors of diving and heavy construction; what do you do? We go over a couple pathways that you can take, that will still provide income for your family and fill some of that need for adventure. Ken shares his personal experiences as an NDT tech and rope access technician. A lot of his time was spent working at Disney, diving and on rope access. A great follow up episode from our last! #diver #commercialdiving #NDT #NDTlife #ropeaccess #engineering #bottomdwellersdiveshack #podcast #newepisode #new #trending #trends #scuba #scubadiving #disney #disneyjobs #welder #diveschool #work #bluecollar #construction #testing #spotify
