OUR PODCAST
After a really fun weekend in Alpena, Michigan diving the shipwrecks of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Rich spends some time talking about how new boat captains need to be broken in a bit when it comes to people who view diving as a goal rather than people (like us) who view diving as a lifestyle and a recreation.
Rich Talks about the month of diving in July 2024 and diving in Munising Michigan and Isle Royale National Park. He also talks about having a starlink Mini on the Isle Royale trip which was a game changer for him. #starlink Rich is also pretty adamant about doing discover scuba experiences as a resort course.

He gets into details about how all levels of divers can now take Prism 2 Training and it can be done alongside others starting at a different level. Super exciting stuff for people who would wish thei...
Rich talks about the incredible expedition that was Truk Lagoon. World War 2 casualty shipwrecks that are in warm, tropical water that is truly amazing. Rich talks about the Heinan Maru, The odyssey livaboard, the San Francisco Maru and more

In this episode Rich talks about his problems with time management and not saying "No" enough when projects come around. He also talks about the most epic of adventures, the total eclipse at White Star Quarry. He put together a weekend dive adventure that turned out to be one the most spectacular adventures ever.

I have been in the diving industry for over 30 years. I am a PADI Course Director, PADI Technical Diver Instructor Trainer, PADI Prism 2 Rebreather instructor, and a Hollis Prism 2 Rebreather Factory Certified Technician. I am also a Dad and my wife and kids dive with me regularly. I own and run many diving businesses including Divers Incorporated in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I started this podcast in 2010 after being interviewed on another scuba podcast. Since then I have talked about my life as a scuba instructor and dive shop owner on a regular basis. In 2020 I took a break from podcasting and in 2023 brought it back as you see it today!
