    • Hobbies

The conversation revolves around the topic of diving with new people and the challenges and considerations that come with it. Both Jay and Sarah share their experiences and perspectives on the matter. They discuss the importance of building a team and finding compatible dive buddies. They also talk about the need to keep dives simple and gear minimal when diving with new people. Communication and understanding each other's experiences and comfort levels are key to ensuring a safe and enjoyable dive.  
They emphasize the need for open and honest conversations about fears, anxieties, and expectations before the dive. They also highlight the importance of observing the whole diver and being mentally prepared for the dive. Slowing down, being present, and taking the time to check in with oneself and the team are crucial for a safe and enjoyable dive. They also stress the significance of debriefing after the dive and building relationships outside of diving.
