  • #13 What's the Deal with Dive Buddies?

    First of all, we would like to apologize for the audio quality in this one.  Daniel the producer (That guy's on thin ice!) was attempting to create a better quality sound but in the process generated what can only be described as, well, crap.  So there's that.


    In this episode, the guys discuss what some scuba divers may call, 'The Great Equalizer.'  Yes we know, it's water that is normally known as the great equalizer, but when it comes to being paired with a diver of unknown origination, you just might get the one from, 'H-E-Double-Hockey Sticks!'


    From your open water class to a dive boat in the Caribbean, you have been paired with an insta-buddy more times than you'd like.  So have a seat at The Dive Table while your therapists Nick and Jay help you relive some not so great to possibly horrific traumatic events of having to watch or be watched by, DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNN...The Dive Buddy.

    6. #12 Why Should I Take a Rescue Diver Course

      Nick and Jay discuss the pro's and con's of taking a rescue diver course and why some scuba divers hesitate.  Should all divers take it?  Should non-scuba divers take some form of a rescue class?  Wouldn't it benefit everyone?

      6. The Truth About Lake Diving | S1E11

        The guys discuss the pros and cons of diving in a lake versus diving in blue water.  Nick and Jay have both spent time in our own Lake Travis so they are very familiar with the conditions that lake diving here affords a diver.  Both types of diving offer experiences that the other one can't supply and so the question still remains; "Do the best divers come from mud?"

        6. Going Solo | S1E10

          The guys discuss the pro's and con's of diving solo. Also the contradictions that some agencies put forth in their programs regarding dive buddie's vs. going at it alone and why Nick and Jay both appreciate the preparation that goes into what it takes to be safe.  

          What are your thoughts on diving alone?  Do you enjoy it?  Are you properly prepared with redundant equipment to be the safest you can be?

          6. Am I a Good Diver? | S1E9

            Nick and Jay discuss what it means to be a good diver and quickly realize that it's easier to determine what metrics don't automatically make you a good diver. Years of experience, a diver's rating and the cost of their equipment are easily dispelled by the guys as ways to qualify someone as a "good diver." What qualities do you think it takes to be a good diver and have you ever overestimated or underestimated a diver and judged a "book" by it's cover?

          7. Dive Slang Vol. I | S1E8
            The guys discuss some of the slang terms that permeate the SCUBA industry. From the logical to the not so much, they cover terms that divers have used to shorten conversations and/or assist in communicating underwater.  What terms have you discovered in your scuba journey?  Which are your favorite?

          9. Dive Jokes Vol. 1 | S1E6
            Nick and Jay test out their comedic delivery in the very first volume of Dive Jokes on The Dive Table.  These jokes were not written by your hosts, so their delivery is what's up for debate.  Enjoy!

          11. What Does Growth Look Like for a Scuba Diver? | S1E4
            Nick and Jay discuss what growth looks like to a scuba diver and how that manifests itself. Does the student, the instructor, or the agency play the greater role in influence? Or is it something else entirely?
