Once again Mac, Jim and Darrin geek out about scuba diving and discuss scuba in the news. They correct some items from the week before and make a whole new rounds of mistakes. DEMA had a load of press release lately and the last few weeks. The chat room was full and so was the show. Thank you for listening.
