    Episode 386 - Together or Alone?
    This week Jamesy and Brando continue talking about dive bodies and some of the inherent flaws in the buddy system. To find some support for this discussion they dig up an old article from DAN’s Alert Diver magazine. After knowing and reporting of all the breakdowns in the buddy system, traditional scuba still doesn’t teach a model that supports the buddy team.

    Episode 385 -Choose Your Dive Body Wisely
    We all learn in Open Water 101 that diving uses a 'buddy system" for several reasons. These reasons include equipment redundancy in case of failure, enjoyment of the dive, and sharing the experience. BUT, is a "buddy" enough? Too often the "buddy" is nothing more than a "body" and the asset that the system proclaims to be is actually a liability. Find out what happens when two divers become paired up randomly at the spur of the moment on a pretty routine recreational dive. How can the dive community work towards improving and avoiding this all too common occurrence? Have a listen!!
