Funny podcast for all

I enjoy listening to these two talk about how other people being stupid. As a barista I experience those people who think going into a shipwreck with no training for “just a peak” is a good idea. I also love having all this information about diving, even though I have yet to dive ever. But I hope too. Cheers to you guys!

Great dive podcast or greatest dive podcast?

James and Brando know diving. As a lover of all things diving, I love this show. Its a mix of dive history, dive theory, dive talk, and dive fun all rolled into one. The most fun you can have while dry.
