Jim S., Mack and Darrin talk about Scuba in the news. Of course they go off course a few times. They even venture into talk about the storm going through and rogue waves. Everything gets pulled together by the bad scuba joke.

You guessed it. Jim S. and Darrin do their thing to scuba in the news. We talk about last week’s Diamond Lake dive on the South Bend Ship Wreck. That all followed by the bad scuba joke.

Can you Believe it? We have two Jim’s, Mack and Darrin all in the same show. Darrin and Jim try to dispell the myth that high vis and warm water is not dangerous. Florida was a great place to test that out. Hear how the guys handled diving in locations like Ginnie Springs, Devil’s Den and more. We may also have had the worst scuba joke so far.
