Jim and Darrin are all over the map this week. We don’t blame you one bit if you skip the political bits. They seem to be the type of guys that kiss the third rail on a subway line. Oh well… we have you to promise a good scuba joke.

Mac, Jim and Darrin are joined by guest Steve Philipson and talk about his upcoming rebreather course. We also have scuba in the news and the other pre-requisites of the show.
This Week’s Guest
Steve Philipson
Steve is a Michigan based sports photographer and local diver. He enjoys underwater photography with models but also sea life and wrecks. Originally from England, Steve certified with BSAC in the early 1980′s but began diving again in 2011 on a DSD with his son in Grand Caymen. Since then, he has worked his way through PADI training and is just about to complete his Dive Master course, hoping to achieve OW Instructor by September this year. Steve has invested in a LDS to spearhead rebreather diving and technology in MI, something he feels is currently missing. His future goals include certifying as rebreather diver and instructor on Ambient Pressure’s EVO and Inspiration, and Poseidon’s MKVI.

Mac, Jim and Darrin didn’t get a dive in this week but they make up for it by discussing Slugs, Gold and a wet Bounty… These could be mental triggers we have been told to communicate for our alien overlords. The bad scuba joke may be the proof you are looking for. If you get to Our World Underwater, make sure you keep an eye out for Mac – he’ll be the guy waiting in line to see the mermaids.

Mac, Jim and Darrin get skunked with a dry week again. At least there were a few things going on in the Scuba news. Check out to see what was or wasn’t harmed with this week’s bad scuba joke.
Mac, Jim and Darrin huddle around the podcasting computer due to a disappointing lack of ice and plenty of Scuba to talk about instead. In addition to Scuba in the news, there are discussions about the book Shadow Divers as well as some things you wouldn’t want to see while diving. You may want to avoid the bad scuba joke this week…
Mac, Jim and Darrin brave the cold tonight to discuss more scuba items. A kickstarter project has been funded and a dolphin has been saved. Oh, and a chat room winner has been chosen for last week’s promised give-away.

Jim and Darrin still don’t have ice, so they talk about dreams of grant money with a touch of underwater preserve instead. Listeners in the chat room enter a competition for a rather special give-away. A familiar face is spotted on Moonshiners.
