Listen "S2: E12 | How a Scuba Instructor almost drowned - a real life scenario & breakdown of a very preventable incident. With Michael Kest"
Episode Synopsis
Mike describes a situation that really happened when he was working a boat as a Divemaster. Not only did another diver nearly drown well beyond 100 feet deep, but the simple cause might surprise you. Mike walks us through the dive start-to-finish, plus we discuss and pinpoint where things went wrong leading up to the near-death situation. A lesson we can all take with us to make our diving that much better and safer.
