The Great Dive Podcast Brando & James

The boys finally make their way to the end of the U-Who and discover the true identity of the U-869. Dive by dive, Jamesy and Brando go back to the beginning and revisit the dives made on the mystery sub. Through triumph and tragedy, John and Richie finally get the clue they needed.

First off, thank you all for allowing us a week off... it was much needed and really helped with both of our "10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag" lives.... :-) .... This week we continue our dive into Robert Kurson's "Shadow Divers" with a look at the third main character, Richie Kohler. He's a quiet, studious boy that grows into the iconic Atlantic Wreck Diver and becomes partners with John Chatterton to help unearth the mystery of the this newly discovered WWII era sunken U-boat.... Join us as dive even deeper into the mystery of the "U-Who".

This week the boys dive into the next great character in Shadow Divers, John Chatterton. Commercial diver, scallop fisherman, army medic, deep wreck explorer, boat captain, and submarine researcher, John has done it all. Join us as we learn more about how he came to discover the answer to the U-Who.

This week the boys dive into the New York Times Bestseller ‘Shadow Divers’ by Robert Kurson. It’s another look at the U-Who but this time from the perspective of John Chatterton and Richie Kohler. We are first introduced however to Captain Bill Nagle, a legendary diver himself once, but now on a course of self-destruction. He was a diver’s diver, and we explore who really deserves the title of, “a diver.”

This week the boys prepare for another deep dive into scuba storytelling, another book about the U-Who. It’s part recap, it’s part teaser for the next series, it’s part thank you, it’s a little bit of everything that TGDP is all rolled into one little episode.

Join the boys as the wrap up their discussion of Bernie Chowdhury's, "The Last Dive". It's only fitting to allow this wrap up to serve as a transition from the story of The Rouses and their demise on the newly discovered German U-Boat dubbed, "The U-Who" into the inevitably intertwined story of John Chatterton, Richie Kohler, Bill Nagle, and a host of other well known East Coast wreck divers as they relentlessly pursue their noble mission to identify this mystery submarine.... the story only gets better gang!
