Ep.2 Extreme Rockpooling

In Episode 2 of The Honest Diver Podcast, Nic and Jim discuss the topic of greenwashing in the diving industry, saving the Oban chamber and that one time at dive camp where Nic got bent.

We also explore insights from Dr. Laura Walton's book "ScubaPsyche" about the psychological aspects of diving and decompression sickness.

Additionally, we answer questions from the diving community about the necessity of hose protectors and recommend dive computers for new divers. Our Product of the Week segment features Fourth Element's fins, designed with functionality and environmental sustainability in mind.
