Ep8. Nic got a new job

In this episode of The Honest Diver Podcast, Nic shares some exciting news—they’ve landed an amazing new role with the Marine Conservation Society. We talk about how this career shift aligns with our passion for ocean conservation and what it means for The Honest Diver moving forward.

We also focus on Divemaster Internships, breaking down the pros and cons, and what divers need to know before committing. Nic and Jim offer advice on avoiding the common trap of being used as cheap labour. Plus, they tackle listener questions on dry gloves vs. wet gloves and how to identify your dive buddy underwater when everyone’s gear looks the same.

In our gear segment, we highlight some essential tools for your kit, from dive cutters to versatile dive knives, reviewing the gear that every diver should consider for safety underwater.
