How to Open a Dive Shop with NO $$$ before age 30... It's easier than you think! - The Host gets interviewed: James Carbary interviews Kenny Dyal
James Carbary of Sweetfish Media interviews Kenny Dyal on dive training, dive business, why he loves it, and what happens next.
Ken started a dive shop from scratch, built it to success, and sold it less than 5 years later, all before turning 35. He now hosts The Scuba Diving Podcast and Channel interview show & produces Down to 60 video series through the creation of Sweetwater Scuba, a dive media company. He is also the author of the kids books "How to Become a Scuba Diver" recently released (after this interview took place). It's available in select bookstores, dive shops, and Amazon.
Ken believes the industry could easily be MUCH larger, if only the public had better access to simplified information, and we make it easier for them to enter this world.

The dreaded Hyperbaric Chamber! We learn how dive accidents are treated, and are surprised to find out what else happens in there. -with Mitch Hall
Mitch Hall owns and operates a Hyperbaric Chamber facility, and sits down to share some stories about what really goes on in those things. I was SHOCKED to learn of some uses I would have never imagined. Not only for commercial dive operations, but for medical treatments the recompression chambers are used for that has NOTHING to do with diving.
