I do not recommend this show if you wear split fins, take life too seriously, and hate Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions.
I especially don’t recommend the pee fog!
I DO, however, recommend this show for anyone who loves diving. As a newbie diver I have learned a lot from their in-depth conversations about diving based on real life stories from around the world as well as their own experiences. Topics that were only barely touched on in my open water dive class have been discussed in greater det... more
I am listening to The Great Dive Podcast here im Switzerland. My favorite month is the cave dive month. Nice how you speak up and call out the industry and its stupid low level instructors. I enjoy you humor and super informative content. Keep it up and continue being your authentic selfs. Cheers out of the swiss mountains.
I got hooked with the David Shaw experience. Now I’m listening to the series from the beginning, really enjoying it. There’s a lot of knowledge and entertainment to be glean from this podcast. Really well done.

So funny: “3 month cave diving special” and “t... more
