A good insight into life from the perspective of a scuba professional! Though perhaps more relevant if you dive in the areas Rich Synowiec teaches and works in, there's a lot here to learn. The last few episodes of 2020 are a real insight into the challenges of running a dive business in one of the strangest years on record. Worth a listen if you're into scuba!
