This week Mack, Jim and Darrin get caught up and start prepairing for upcoming dive shows. It is getting into dive show season. - - You may notice that we skipped 356. We had a recording problem where only one side of the recording took place. We have a very low quality version of the other side of the conversation recorded from the back half of the microphone. This episode may see the light of day, but it will take us some extra time. - -

This week Kevin, Dave and Darrin cover the upcoming training class and ice dive. * * We continue to refine our audio workflow on Discord. We like it better than skype but do discover a few things we need to fix. This week it was Kevin's audio. We probably had some auto-leving turned on that fought our recording software. We fixed as much as we could in post, but there are still a few spots where Kevin may be a little quiet. We may add a host "quieter" as a stretch goal on patreon * * ### If you receive any value from the show please consider supporting us via our patreon page.
