This week was a little rough technically. Just as we got ready to record talk shoe booted us off the phone bridge. We invited everyone in the chat room to join via skype so we had Mac, Rich and Craig able to contribute to the show. We had scuba in the news and as expected Mac and Rich provided their more than sage input.

There are some of the news articles covered.

We had some great conversations after the show with the Scuba Divers Round Table.

Thank you for listening and we have a lot of great new ideas for season two.

Scuba Obsessed Episode 49 – The last scuba dive of the year and the last show of the year. 2010

St. Joseph River Niles, MI

St. Joseph River Niles, MI

This week Darrin and Jim talked about

Scuba in the news

And

They also discussed their last dive of the year and their upcoming first dive of the year.

There was a review of the last year with “Best Dive of the Year” and “Worse dive of the year”  with a smattering of other yearly remembrances.

They finish things off by scuba predictions and the always over done New Year’s Resolutions.

They did record the after show divers round table to be edited and released at a future date.

See you in 2011 for season two of Scuba Obsessed.
