Ben is driving his car and got inspired to talk about gas density and how this is overlooked by many. The inspiration came from listening to an episode of The Great Dive Podcast, TGDP: https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/the-great-dive-podcast/id1224724509?i=1000771332334

the book was not Oxygen and The Diver  

it was Chamber Divers, by Rachel Lance

Hope you enjoy

This is a fun one, first of all I roped in Jeff to join me for a Pod :-) That was good talking with him again like this. But we mostly discuss the "Path to Completion" document we use for our divers at all levels. As per normal for us, we go on several tangents and go off topic every once in a while. Hope you enjoy this one with Jeff.

In this episode, Ben talks to Arne Sieber on Oxygen Cells, specifically Solid State Oxygen cells or more accurately, Optical Oxygen Analyzing Cells. This is interesting, cutting-edge stuff for the scuba and CCR nerds amongst us. Have fun.

This episode kicks off our "Meet the UTD Instructors" series. We will be bringing you a series of episodes, interspersed with our regularly scheduled podcasts and carcasts, introducing some of our UTD instructors. You'll have an opportunity to discover the incredibly varied paths that each of these powerful divers took on their way to UTD leadership.

In this episode we meet UTD Instructor Greg Wolff. Greg is based on the east coast of the U.S. in Maryland. Having just completed UTD Cave 2, Greg talks about staying on a plateau, and is poised to begin to accept clients as a UTD Scuba Coach.

The electrical engineers creed about soldering: "The bigger the blob, the better the job."

The rock climbers creed about rope: "If you don't know the knot, tie a lot."

These two sayings, unfortunately, summarize much of the recreational scuba training that is currently happening. Without an understanding of "why," instructors are showing students how to do skills and expecting them to fully learn those skills. That, however, is impossible.

In this short carcast, Jeff looks at the concept of proper education and its most vital cousin: retention.

For about two years Jay has been asking me for a history of UTD. It's one of the tasks I never completed, until now. On a long drive from San Diego up to the Sierra Nevada Mountains I recorded a look back at Unified Team Diving – how did it start, where did it start, what were some of the ups, and what were some of the downs.

For those of you who have been around UTD for a long time, much of this will sound familiar. For those of you who have come to UTD more recently, this should give you some perspective on how we became what we are today.
