    We'll give a prize to anyone who correctly counts the number of times we say "brain" in this episode of The Honest Diver Podcast.

    Nic shares a vivid dream that morphs into a lesson on human factors in diving, while Jim recounts a mouthpiece mishap that highlights common gear issues.

    We answer divers' burning questions about Enluva gloves' tendency to shrink and debate the merits of weight belts versus integrated weights for optimal underwater trim.

    Our product spotlight shines on Stream2Sea, a pioneering brand in eco-friendly diving essentials. We discuss their range of reef-safe products, from shampoos to the must-have Sea Clearly Mask Prep Kit, emphasising the importance of protecting our oceans while having products that actually work!

    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.
