#24 Transmitter vs. SPG
08/16/22 • 80 min
The age old question finally arrives at The Dive Table; Which tool should you use to monitor your gas levels, the transmitter or the SPG?
Well, the guys dive right in and quickly realize something that everybody already knows; never buy a used mattress.
The pros and cons of a transmitter and SPG are discussed as well as the preferences for different types of diving. The answer to the question may surprise you. Or it won't.
What side of the aisle do you fall on? Do you think it matters which one should be used? Do you agree or disagree with Nick and Jay's assessment?
The article mentioned in the episode, written by Natalie Gibb (Under the Jungle Owner, Instructor) titled, 'Extreme (and not so extreme) multi-stage side-mount cave diving,' that was published on the Shearwater website can be found here:

#23 A Conversation with Sarah Miller from Azul Unlimited
The guys finally sit down with Sarah Miller from Azul Unlimited. Nick, being the social butterfly, found her on social media and has been following her for some time. He also used her suggestions and advice mentioned in one of her videos on how to create a scuba diving resume. They discuss her mobile living conditions near a flowing body of water, as well as the topic of her latest video that she had posted at the time of our reaching out to her; her decision to stop instructing. Even those who aren't scuba instructors know how difficult it can be to obtain that certification, so stepping away from it is not a lightly made decision and she breaks down her reasoning for her choice. If you want to reach out to Sarah or follow her on the social medias, you can reach her through the following channels: Instagram @Azul.Unlimited http://www.youtube.com/c/azulunlimited.com The Dive Table www.thedivetable.com Fish Dive Surf, Inc. www.fishdivesurf.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daniel-porter73/message If you enjoyed this episode and want to be a part of this growing community, you can join us in a couple of ways: Subscribe to the podcast so you get notified when new episodes drop; Leave a rating wherever you listen to your podcasts; Send the link to the show; thedivetable.com to a dive buddy, your dive team, or your last scuba instructor.

#25 Jay's Journey
As the anniversary of Jay's open water certification approaches, he and Nick discuss the path that led him to where he is in the scubaverse. They discuss the choices he made willingly and which ones he decided to avoid.
After he had a number of PADI courses under his weight belt, (including a Drift Diver Cert that he doesn't like to talk about too much), he decided to search for alternate methods of learning and teaching and quickly found UTD.
There is no real "ending" to ones scuba journey, but there is a beginning and in this case, it was quite the bumpy ride with a number of unmet expectations and disappointing outcomes.
