The Great Dive Podcast Brando & James

This week Jamesy and Brando look at some of the listener mail they received about the Shadow Divers episodes. One upset listener who did not like the Exposed episode. One this is for sure, that series got people thinking and sharing their opinions with us.

This week the boys pay tribute to the better half of the Haas duo, Lotte Haas. One of the first female SCUBA divers , Lotte started diving in 1949 on a Drager CCR and was soon taking part as one of the crew on Hans Haas' underwater exploration team! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more of Lotte's contribution to diving!

This week we go deep into the history of Han Hass and Jacques Cousteau. They were both pioneering scuba at virtually the same time. Were they in competition? Who really was the first? Who would win in a Death Match? Only you can decide. Go to our facebook page and vote or send us an email to info@thegreatdivepodcast.com

So the boys go deep this week with the first of a multi-episode series on diving legends, Hans & Lotte Haas. This week we'll get to know Hans with a reading of a short piece he wrote about being underwater and staring into the abyss..... have a listen!

After 10 weeks of East Coast Wrecking, the boys get back to some classic TGDP. Anyone can learn to scuba dive. The skills are relatively simple, so what is it that really separates someone with a certification card from a diver? Know thyself and use your scuba to teach yourself how to answer to yourself.

Wait...WHAT?? TEN EPISODES of East Coast wreck diving... heroic deeds....noble virtues and grand character... all shot to hell? Surely our sacred realm of Scuba diving is a bastion of relief from the world's ugliness of greed and want of fame? Perhaps not! Have a listen as we examine yet another book detailing the East Coast wreck diving community and in particular the search for the identity of the U-Who (aka the U-869), listen to what deep shipwreck diving legend Gary Gentile has to say about "Shadow Divers" as we dive into his book, "Shadow Divers Exposed. The Real Saga of The U-869".
