Speaker 1 (00:04):
No, hello there, don't be alarmed. We're just preparing your
listening device for Scuba Radio, the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. We do this, of course, by fielding
new radio with water. We're professions. Thanks to me. You
won't even get wet. You see, I've crammed every appetitive
my body into the cracks and crevices of your radio.
By the way, don't touch your on off knob. That's
a very sensitive area. Anyway, I should remind you. We
(00:28):
believe in the buddy system, just like diving. So don't
listen alone. Call your buddy and tell them that scuba
radio is about to be given.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
We're going to start a new life under the sea.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Am I gonna drown? Of course not.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Just stay calm and let the gentle currents relecture every muscle.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Under the Just get warmer.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
No, no, heg you take donague rustations under the sea.
Speaker 7 (00:58):
Where the hell are show?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And no, here's your dive guy for Scuba Radio, Greg
the Dive Master, and welcome.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
I am Greg the Dive Master. Cj in the studio
with me aka cok Jensen. What is your what is
your slogan? What's your doing that today? What do you
mean you're not doing that? Cok Johnson's your name and
diving's your game? Why would you want to Why would
(01:29):
you want to not claim that notoriety now, especially as
it's catching on. I mean, you know what I'm talking about,
don't you? So this week, yeah, I think I do
this week just to bring everybody up to speed. I
get a text message from a friend of mine who's watching, uh,
(01:50):
Match Game, you know that TV show they've tried to
reboot what three four times? He blanked her in the mouth, Yes,
and uh he said, Oh my god, Greg, you have
got to hear this and watch the latest episode of
the Match Game TV show on ABC. The host is
(02:11):
Martin Short and then they bring in all these beadless
celebrities and hacks and try to be funny kind of
like what we do on this show. Actually it's not
that far from an upgrade. Yeah, but but you know
they're getting desperate when they start, you know, doing stuff
like this. Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Dwayne the Rock Johnson is done with Hollywood now he's
Dwayne the Cock Johnson. By the way, that's spelled c
A U l K. Playing the rock Johnson is done
with Hollywood. Sound, we're playing the cock Johnson, a handyman
who fixes your flanks.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
And Gee Johnson.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, okay, Quinn, Dwayne the rock Johnson is done with Hollywood.
Now he's dye the cock Johnson and handyman who fixes
your blanks.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Holes.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's getting spicy.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Holes.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
I don't get that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, cock fills your hole?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh cock like Yeah, I was not thinking that, but
I was thinking pipes.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Because you're educated as the filthiest game I've ever experienced
in my life.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Yeah, well, welcome to our world. I mean time does
that air? I have no idea. I just pulled it
up online and uh, you know, imitation is the ultimate
form of flatterings and serious. So they've heard about Cox
Johnson on scuba radio over the years. Wow you think so? Yeah,
(03:51):
they spell it wrong. Wow, as my guess, But but
yeah you should. You should be proud that they're trying
to I'm not proud steal your thunder from down under. Okay,
well anyway, but that's the answer I would have given.
What's that? That's okay? Well now we know, now we know.
(04:14):
But look, here's some information you didn't need, didn't need,
but we gave it to you anyway. It's just what
we do here on the world's first radio show devoted
to diving. And because you know, CJ is kind of like,
he's all, you're almost like our mascot. You realize this, right,
your alter ego Cox Johnson. You know, uh, diving your
(04:36):
game and you know I am we should promote it.
According you're trying as hard as you can. What you're
trying to promote it, I'm building you up. I mean,
I can't take all the accolades of this show for
twenty eight years. I don't need to build up. I'm
just a stupid sidekick. Okay, So any of youh CJ's
(04:58):
in the studio, we get this radio scuba squad connected
via the web, made up a bubble boy, Casey the
tobacco nut Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba with us today. And
if that weren't enough, we have a EMT on standby
doctor Doug Eversall, and he always points out like, hey,
well well he's done that years ago, way more than
(05:20):
any and he's told me many times. He goes, look,
you know, if anything happens to any of you, folks,
I can't do anything for you. I'm a I'm a
heart surgeon. I just I just something like that, Is
that right, doctor Doug?
Speaker 8 (05:33):
Something like that. I don't have all of equipment with
me to do much. I can pronounce you dead. I'm
pretty good at that.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Okay, by the time by the time he scrubs up,
you're gone.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
True.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Yeah, I mean, and how long it takes. But he's
connected via zoom too, so alls he can do is
sit there and watch watch us uh go so uh.
But but you know, it's the thought that counts. He
could jam a pen in your throat. Maybe I don't
think he can virtually. I mean, he could instruct you
to save me. Here, Cox Johnson, do this, you know,
(06:08):
maybe he could do that. Yeah, that would be radio
it would be radio gold. The video would go viral.
There's no question about that. Blood everywhere. Yeah, but but
not everybody makes the match game TV show. But CJ
did I mean, are you impressed by that, doctor Doug
or you? Oh brother? What did I do? Once again?
(06:31):
By joining the city.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Johnson was a little bit much. I didn't know that
show was back.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah. Well, you know they're reaching when they're going for
those stupid jokes. Yeah, there's that. Casey Tobacco Net was
impressed though, and he was just probably offended because you know,
I don't think that it did as well as you've
wanted it to. What are you talking about? No, Casey's impressed,
(06:58):
He's no, he's just surprised. Like I don't think is impressed.
Why don't they do the classic scuba radio joke where
we talk to them and they never have their microphone on.
It's a classic Vinnie two tanks and that's what Casey's doing, right.
You won't see that that quality kind of yea, good job. Yeah, well,
(07:21):
bubba boy, you were impressed. Yeah, I mean, you know
CJ or Coke Johnson on a personal level, I want
to say that that sounds really weird, but uh, you
were impressed, were you? Come on? Oh yeah absolutely yeah absolutely?
See all right see you were You are a shy
uh star, aren't you? You just don't like that. I
(07:45):
can't fake it. I wasn't in love with that. We
weren't in love with that. Yah. I mean you're offended
that they're stealing, You're I just I was like, eh,
all right, okay, all right, well any who? Oh it
was great. No, it was wow. There it is he
there it is ripping with insincerity Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba.
(08:09):
That's the kind of thing you won't probably catch on
one of his YouTube videos. And there's probably valid reasons
for that. But yeah, just one were you you know,
and I don't know, I don't know what. How would
you describe that from your perspective, Kenny, just like you
prefer to stay silent maybe or what do you think?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
To be honest, Greg, we'll put anything on our channel,
especially if it rocks the boat so.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
It makes match game TV.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Yeah, there's nothing off limits on my channel. Some of
you may already know.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Well, yeah, they have. He's dabbled. Let me put it
that way. He's very generous. When you said one word,
I thought he was gonna say garbage. Really yeah, why
well you think that's what this is? That's you have
nothing to do with me. It was about the rock
Dwayne Johnson, It wasn't They were using that classic joke
(09:06):
about cock. Yeah, c A U l K. Yeah, it's
an old one. Well exactly, it's an old one that
we've been doing for many years now. We don't use
it like like squirting the cock into the corner of
your bathroom, mixing a tile. Yeah, we don't use it
that way. We don't know you use it like a chicken.
(09:29):
That's right, that's right. You have the rooster is your
ask God, right, Okay, So just so we're clear. So
it's more of a cockiness, happy to help that you
project to the diving world that divers around the world

Your surface interval is complete to me, you are now
clear to dive with Scuba Radio Medium, the world's first
radio show devoted to diving.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Dive, Dive, dive.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Lay it on me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Tell me what you can do.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
I can communicate with every living creature living in our
vast oceans.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
Okay, talks to fish, guys. Also, I'm gonna stop here right.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
There because I know your powers. It's talks to fish.
The rest of the page is blank.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
I have sonar, yeah for talking to fish.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I have Superhero.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
Uh, so you can listen to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I can breathe underwater.
Speaker 10 (13:01):
Because that's where the fish you talk to. You are
night vision, so you can find the fish. If you
ever want a nighttime shit wag. I can do a
lot more than just talk to fish, Okay. I can
transport the entire Justice League by manipulating the waves of
the ocean. Oh wow, you know what else can transport
people on the ocean?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
The boot.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
This is the world's first radio show to vote in
the diving. I am Greg the dive Master c j
akaa Cock Johnson in the studio with me. I think
that's not the superhero signal that we need to work
for you. I think we need can't help it, It
just comes out. I mean, would that even show up underwater?
You're diving? Is cock Johnson? And can you even do that?
(13:45):
You'd hear it? Would you pop my rig out and
you go huh okay? Well that would be the signal
to return to the vessel safely. Not necessarily, I couldn't
trying to alert you of something else. That would just
be like, hey, check out this cool fish. Look at me,
and then I'll tell you huh okay. I definitely would
(14:05):
look at you, as well as everyone else on the
dive would probably go what's wrong with that person? Like
I ignore, there's nobody else's having a seizure be just
us off by ourselves. Okay, well maybe there's that. Oh
I have to alert them, I would outside anyone else. Yeah,
I mean people could mistaken that as a recall system.
Really yeah, does that sound like that? I mean if
(14:27):
you did that underwater, I would turn and go, what
the hell's wrong with you? But you know, well I know,
but not everybody else unless we've informed them on the
boat before we jumped in the water during the dive briefing.
He may have an outburst of poultry like sounds. Okay,
(14:47):
there's that, Just ignore it, all right, So we do
have a Casey the tobacco not backs. Now we can
hear him. Yeah, and he came back because he's thoroughly impressed.
What is that good thing that we can hear? Well,
that's do you have? Yes? Go ahead?
Speaker 11 (15:06):
One is are you sure we're spelling Cox Johnson correctly?
And the second is shouldn't his call signal be a
little more like a crowing rooster instead of a female rooster?
Speaker 7 (15:22):
What you're saying, uh that c J was uh doing
what a female rooster sounds like? Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Asked, you know the ones that run around Key West
with all the little chicks.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
They sound. Roosters are not in Key West, it would
be a female rooster.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Oh yeah, So so you have to do more of
a crowing kind of sound I supposed to just yeah,
we need from the from the you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
A crows?
Speaker 7 (15:53):
You want? What is so wrong with us that we
are mildly amused by this? I do think it's a
mental issue almost. Thank god we got Kenny from Sweetwater
Scuba and doctor Doug ever saw with us today to
(16:13):
kind of raise the bar just a little. That's up
to you, man. You got to go to them. Well, yeah,
I am. I mean I wanted to get the crap
out of the way for cotone brought on the A team.
You know, you flesh out the nonsense and then that
leaves hopefully better stuff to look forward to, you think. Yeah,
go so, doctor Doug, after that kind of build up,
(16:40):
I don't know. Yeah. You Actually you just got back
into the country, right, You've been traveling? Is that it?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Yeah's been fortunate to be traveled a lot the last
couple of months.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
We just got back in Indonesia yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Actually, yeah, and you did something pretty crazy. You were
part of this project to recreate uh the uh ty
rescue or what what was that all about?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Yeah, so back in that would have been the last
week of July, first week of August, the guys a
Dive Talk had their annual meetup and this year was
down in Rowatan. So we were down in Rowatan for
a week and several guest speakers Jonathan Byrd from Blue
World TV, doctor Joe Deturrey who did the one hundred
(17:23):
Days Underwater a couple of years ago, and then one
the other guest was actually Rick Stanton, who was Rick
is the guy that actually found the thirteen soccer you
know soccer kids. He's one popped up you remember the video,
like you know how many of you are there and
so forth.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
That was Rick.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
So he was talking about the Tody rescue. Well, apparently
while he was there, he appropriated one of the actual
hardnesses that they used to drag the kids out, and
he brought it with him kind of as a prop,
and at dinner one night, he just kind of off
the cuff jokingly said to be kind of funny to
to strap people into this harness and drag him around
(17:58):
the pool and show him how hard it would be
to do this sort of thing, so we absolutely had
to do that. So one afternoon, there's about a about
one hundred divers there.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
We had about one hundred people there.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
You could sign up and either be a rescuer, you
could be a victim, or you could be both.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I was one of the victims.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
So when you're a victim, you're put in a full
face mask, your hands are tied behind you, zip tied
behind you, your ankles are zip tied together, and you're
laid flaves down in this harness. And then whoever's playing
rescuer has a blackout mask on and they're trying to
drag you around the edge of the pool without getting lost,
and about half the way through they pop you up
(18:39):
and they pretend to do an injection to give you
more sedation and keep dragging around the pool. So it's
kind of entertained to show people all difficult and this
is a three foot four foot pool which is crystal
clear water, but in a blackout mask. About half the
people just start spinning in circles and got lost, and
about half the people kind of made it through the
course and save their victim. So it was kind of
(18:59):
a kind of a cool experiment to do with people.
We had I think thirteen or fourteen different scenarios of people,
you know, people who are either rescuers or victims, and.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So it was all one afternoon.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, but it was kind of cool. Were you rescued
or did your guy not make.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I survived, Yeah, you did survive.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
You played a good like vic individual.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It's a little one guy.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
The reason I was doing it, I was just gonna
hang out, you know with Everyboddy and one guy gets
they put him in the harness and they like hog time.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
He's like, Okay, I'm out. He's like, I'm not doing this.
So they asked me if I would be willing to do
it again. I'm like, yeah, sure, no problem. So I
jump back in.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
So it's uh, but yeah, you can imagine that's it
was a a little uh. If you're not real comfortable underwater,
having your hands tied behind, your feet tied together, and
your face down, can't see anything, and someone who you
don't know is dragging you.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Through the pool, it's a little bit intimidating.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I have no doubt it is. But if that doesn't
answer the question that uh, you know divers, well I
are divers, so twisted I don't know what else does
I me other than this show. Yeah, you listen to
the show and hear what we talk about, and then
or you have the choice to go to row a
Tan and get hog tied and dragged underwater.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
It did show you why you'd have to, uh while
they had to sedate the kids, because I mean, these
are you know, everyone there was divers who weren't three
feet of water, so it wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, and even a lot of these people are getting
a little stressed doing it.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
You can imagine being a you know, a thirteen year
old kid who doesn't speak English, and some of them
don't even probably don't even.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Swim right, they're trying to do this. You'd have to
sit up to get you through this whole thing.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
They're soccer players, so they're not used to using their
hands anyway, So that's half Okay, that's an interesting insight, Uh,
something I would expect from top Johnson. No, it's more
of a rooster crow. You've got to get this right now.

Excuse excuse prepared to rick for guy.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba radio, the world's first radio show devoted
to diving.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Dive, Dive, Dive. I have big, big news for you.
So what is this big big news.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Deep diving you. This is the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. I am Greg to Die Master c
J A k. A. Cox Johnson in the studio with me.
Hollywood has taken notice. Okay, you know sometimes I'm just
(22:58):
easily amused. That was subtle. But I you know, once again,
here's your Your persona is of a rooster crowing proudly.
Sometimes they don't do the hold. I think that would
be too long and obnoxious. I just like this short,
staccato outburst, okay. And that would be like so if
(23:19):
we were diving and uh, you wanted to get my attention,
you would just like say, say you saw like a
sea cucumber, like, hey, check this out. Yeah, I'm always
looking for those. And I would just be cruising along
in the water column and I would hear I would love,
Oh there's that. There's the signal. Okay, ah, I mean,
(23:47):
you know, that's an interesting for a c cucumber. That
might be it. That might be it. I think, excuse me,
I would build it understand that underwater anyhow, doctor Doug
ever saw with us. He just got back from Roatan
(24:07):
recreating the Tie Cave rescue. That's impressive, that's kind of wild.
I mean, would you do that, Greg, would you want
to be a rescue? Well? No, what a baby? What
I'm on? No, I don't know, it'd be fun to watch.
I don't know, I don't. I mean, how did it
feel being the victim? Uh, doctor Doug when they they
wrapped you up, hog tied you put you on the
(24:27):
board and had your dragged through the water with you know,
no sight? Yeah, I mean, and it took how long
you figure how long did they keep.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Minutes or something that?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I mean, but do you have any idea whether or
not the guy telling you is having any success at all?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You?
Speaker 7 (24:44):
I mean, you're totally if you're if they bang your
head against the wall, the wall, Okay, hey we made
it booge.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Right, Yeah it was it wasn't bad. I mean again,
it's it's all amount of health coal people are on
the water. Most of these are divers, so it's like, yeah,
you know, I'm a full face mask, I got a
tank on my chest. It's like I can breathe. So
what's the worst that's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Well, it's so fun to do. Are the victims in
blackout masks too?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Or no?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Yeah, no, No, we're at the stakes down, so you
couldn't eat it anyway.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Okay, Oh I thought you were blinded out too, but
no you could see because yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I always got my eyes closed just to kind of
simulate it. But yeah, you didn't have to be.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Did anybody say, knock me out, give me a shot?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, like I said, one guy said, he's out. They
put his hands behind his back. He's like, no, no, I'm
not doing this after all. Let me out of this thing.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
I'm in another country. It's Mexico. Things could go horribly wrong.
I could wake up from this experience missing a kidney
or something. Yeah, I mean, I see that's what Maybe
that's just me.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
I have a great idea for demo.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Oh God help us.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
We we hog tied Greg with his hands and feet
with a zip tie, put him in a blackout mask,
and time the participants whoever can hog time fast as
wins a.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
P I love it. I love this idea. Doesn't sound
like it has anything to do with scuba diving. We're
doing it.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Recreating the rescue.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
We could raise money for charity. We could have people
bid on the right to do that. Please tie him
up and take him out of here. People probably love
to abuse you. Vinnie two tanks with us now and
he got here just in the nick of time, because
now it sounds like he's pretty excited about this concept.
Do you think there, Vinnie? Would you would you? Would
you volunteer to be tied up like those Thai kid
(26:33):
tay cave rescue folks and recreate that kind of thing
experience or.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
No, I'm like you No, hell no, hell.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Sometimes Vinnie surprises us at all, And I bet Bubble
Boy would. Yeah, Oh, sure of course I would. Yeah,
I'll be the victim and you can rescue me if
you want to do that. I do either rescue me.
I want to see if I could do it. Well
it be the rescuer. Yeah, well it's not much different
(27:06):
than way harder than you think it is. Well, I
actually it might be. Uh. I mean when you compare
it to the rescue diver skill that you have to
you got to do a tow a an you know,
unconscious diver in that Uh, you're not what your site
isn't taken away in that when you do that, well,
that is true, But as far as being towed and stuff,
(27:28):
I mean, it's just it'd be I mean, because there's
techniques you learn and rescue diver, right, doctor Dougie. Either
push them by their fins or you tell them from
the back of the you know, the tank valve. You know,
those are the two techniques. And I guess when you're
you were telling them, you're doing it from the tank valve, right,
is that what you grab or when they know.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
This was an actual harness, you're in the harness that
handles they hold and drive you with it.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
You mention that, Greg. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
The concept they when they actually took these kids was
they said, you know, they these are some dive or
hate divers, so they go from dry areas to wet
areas and during the drive so they drag cargo.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Through there all the time.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
So they they well to make the kids basically like
cargo and just dragging through. So we originally were going
to try and run line through the pool, but that
did really work very well. So we just kind of
had them follow the edge of the pool with one
hand while trying to hold the victim of the other
hand and not get lost and whatever it was, it was.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Entertaining, right, Okay, all right, yeah, what Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba,
what do you think would you do that? Or sounds
too crazy? I mean you've done all that. He does
his stuff all the time, so I'm expecting you to
say absolutely, But well, am I off on that? Or what? Kenny?
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (28:39):
As long as let me back up, We did a
zombie dive a few years ago and moved in around.
We did it at night. Yeah, and we made it
a competition. It will take me too long to explain it,
but we had about five zombie divers and then participants
had to go around and get these little globe bracelets
and you couldn't quite see the other one, so you
had to follow this path. And we had uh five
(29:01):
divers set up at stations patrolling where they had to
pick up their little globe bracelets and they were dressed
in zombie suits nice and a lot of them were like, Okay,
it got a little claustrophobic in these dark zombie suits,
just waiting by myself with hair floating and everything. But
to answer your question, Greg, yes, I would do it
(29:21):
as long as I could.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Video it.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Yeah, Okay, well, of course content post it.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, everything's content in world.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Absolutely. Yeah. That that does sound kind of creepy though,
because zombie y e. I mean, we've talked about doing
like the underwater you know, haunted dive, haunted house thing,
but I didn't even think about that thing. If you're
one of the scare actors, our divers underwater that I mean,
you're sitting there waiting for the next victim to you know,
(29:50):
swim by, and you're sitting there by yourself ready to
scare them. I mean, I don't know if that wouldn't
I didn't even think about that part of it that
would make And that's what you're talking about. The folks
got a little uh uh, you know, creeped out maybe,
is that it, Kenny?
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yeah, because it's dark, they're kind of under they weren't deep,
maybe ten or fifteen feet deep, just under the edges
of Devil's Den, just kind of where they're hiding in rocks.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
And by yourself, and you're you're thinking after a few minutes,
like did they forget me? Yeah, it was like a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
We had one kid panic went up to the surface.
Now granted they were only like ten feet deep. We
had a couple of rescue divers up top, and he
panicked and went up to the top and then was like,
oh yeah, I just you know, just needed a minute,
and I wondered which way to go again, and to
freaked out. It freaked out where you know, we were
(30:46):
of course like, okay, sure what It was pretty creepy
because they could barely see through them and we had
like zip tied them up beforehand and got them in
and everything, so every you know, everything just bloats all
around you and things start working the way and the
places they're not supposed to, and and one of them
almost had to come up because the hair was like
(31:06):
getting caught in something. I don't I don't remember being
I can't see very well and it's dark.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
I can't see. Yeah, okay, well, I mean these are
some of the things you got to think about if
you want to do uh, you know, something creepy like that,
or I don't know, or or do something for Dima
and turn it into a contest. I don't know how
we could do that, but if we, if we do,
we just we Casey just said, well that that part,
(31:33):
everything sounds great, with the exception of using me a baby.
No no, I have to be the one to kind of.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
Throw you on the ground, simp till your hands and
eat we time it.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
No, no, no, no, I'm the one who has to do
the play by play. That's my role. No I do
this shop No no, that's not a JOPP for Cock
Johnson or coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He's the worldwide Scuba Radio network.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Excuse prepared for guy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba Radio, the world's first radio show devoted
to diving.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Dive, Dive, dive.
Speaker 12 (32:31):
A professional mermaid says, unwanted advances from merverts is the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Part of the job.
Speaker 12 (32:37):
Just like that, you've been made aware of a new
profession and it's very serious problems and the word mervert.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
The world spors radio show devoted to diving. You know
CJ and I aka Coke Johnson talking about how to
make this thing work? Uh for con test I deem it.
First off, it can't be me. I can't be the
one who'd be tied up. No, no, no, I have to
(33:08):
do the play by play for the crowd. And uh
and if you know when they do the hog tying
and they walk them through the floor of the show
or something, and then you then you got to bring
them back to life, right, you gotta do mouth to
mouth and I'm that can't happen. Don't be disgusting. What
(33:30):
do you mean they got to be brought back to life? Yeah, there,
you just wait for the sedative to wear off. I
would assume, well, it's okay, so that would be uh
some of Jerry the diver guy's moonshine. No no, we
we uh no wasting that all right, Well you can't
(33:51):
mix that with a sedative. Are you kidding me? You
kill him? Well, I don't think you need the sedative.
I think uh oh, Jerry springwater do the trick idea? Okay? Yeah,
usually they are mouth to mouth. Greg, You're you're perverted
and filthy. Well, I think that's why Casey soak your
head and ebb. So that's why Casey was like, hey,
(34:14):
that's that's hog time. Greg, did I master up?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
Wait man, wait a minute, where did he go from
hog tying you for time to mouth to mouth?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
I have missed that. You have to be Yeah. The
whole idea is to uh, you know, compare this to
the ty Cave rescue experience and Casey, you don't just
tie him up. I don't believe there was any mouth
to mount.
Speaker 11 (34:38):
Doctor Doug did not say anything about anybody doing mouth
mouth did not.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Well, that's Greg that might Hey, look they were in Mexico,
so after the event was over, they go back to
their rooms, have some tacos. I digress. Then then I
take it all back. They would never do that in Honduras.
You're right, uh AnyWho.
Speaker 11 (35:04):
You just want to have mouth to mouth?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Whoa too far with the dude? No? No, I don't know.
I heard. I don't think you did. Maybe in your
in your head, you might have. Everyone just heard it.
You need to get that out of there too. Everyone
just bad thought. Bad thoughts lead to bad actions. My friend,
(35:27):
that was all you just stop it right now. I'm saying,
okay that we're not going to do this. Let's just
get that one off. Okay. I just don't want to
do it because you don't want to look weak. No, No,
I bet bubble Boy would do it. Well, I would
do it. You would get hot tied and let people
just tie you up, and then you know what would
(35:47):
happen is if we did this at the DIMA Show.
Then we we tie them up and then we just
leave now and see if they survive till the next morning.
Thing that wouldn't Now, that would be fun. I mean
I could get behind something like that, right, you would
eventually run out of air? You know this? What are
you talking about? We wouldn't do it underwater. We just
(36:08):
do it in front of the stage at the DEMA show.
My god, you're making this ten times worse. No, you
do it. They join us tomorrow morning, where we'd give
away more stuff and find out if bubble Boy had
survived being tied up for twenty four hours straight. Tune in,
don't miss it. It's all about marketing, super lame. Good job, okay,
(36:32):
all right, well, doctor Doug. Other than recreating the rescue
scenario that you guys did there in Honduras, I would
imagine you did plenty of diving as well. Was was
that the focus or what?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:44):
There was?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yeah, I've actually actually, as luck would happen, I've actually
had got three trips back to back. We the Roatan trip,
like I said, there was about one hundred divers there,
so we had a bunch of boats and you know,
presentations of the evenings and stuff. So the diving was
I've not been to one plice I had not been
was Roytan. So that was actually very nice, cool, good
Caribbean diving, warm water, you know you'd like it. Uh,
(37:06):
lots of fish. We actually quite a few turtles, quite
a few eagle rays, which was kind of nice.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
And then about a week or two after that, the
Dovesburn Network. We had our summer Board of Directors meeting
down in Grenada, so we were diving there's uh, you know,
the whole board went down and we dove in the
mornings and had like three hour meetings all afternoon uh
each day. So we did that, and then a week
(37:32):
later Caroline flew to Wakatobi in Indonesia and just got
back yesterday.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
All Right, I want to get the load down on
that for sure. But before we get to Indonesia, let's
talk a little bit about Grenada. Did you guys do
the reck of the Rhone? And noting we did the
you mean the yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Did the Bianca See it started to collapse a little bit, yeah,
but we did. Yeah, we did that one day.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
We know.
Speaker 8 (37:56):
The diving there was actually very nice as well. We
were with aquanauts, Grenada. You know, Uh, Peter and Glenda
aren't there anymore. But the new owners do a great job, rights.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
I've heard, but every time I've dealt with them, Doctor Doug.
When I went out to that wreck, the Bianca Si,
it would just guarantee we'd see spotted eagle rays. I mean,
for some reason in Grenada that I would always see
spotted eagle rays. Did you have that experience or no,
we had.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
We had them on the wreck.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
I didn't see otherwise, not during the other dives, but
on the wreck definitely.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:28):
And then we had lots of lots of good marine
life there with lots of octopus.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
For some reason. That's nice, and you know, tropicals and stuff. Well,
it was good.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
The board is uh a kind of a mixed bag
this year. So we've got a lot of very experienced divers.
We've got the people who are a little older, they
were still very very experienced. And we actually had one
of the board members had just gotten she had just
gotten certified a few weeks before, so brand new divers.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
So we had a we had a good crowd for
that for the time.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
Well, you know, Grenada is where I did my rebreather certification.
Years ago, and and I know you're into that. Were
you doing that as well? Or were you uh? Oh yeah,
go on.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
I took I took my go my small little go
or breather to Roatan, and I took it to Grenada.
They have very good CCR support there and I even
took it with.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Me to Indonesia.
Speaker 8 (39:15):
I did the twenty five dives where it was in
Indonesia on it as well.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Oh awesome. So when you had when you're in Grenada,
did you do one of those dives? This is kind
of what I did when I got trained there is
we jumped in the water with our rebreathers. We had
open circuit divers on the boat as well to do
two tanks, and we went down on the first dive
with them and stayed down while they came up, did
(39:39):
their surface interval for an hour, and then did their
second dive and then we came back up with them.
Did you do one of those type of things in
Grenada or no?
Speaker 5 (39:47):
We No, we did not, but we've done that on
other things before. This time.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
We there was two of us, were our breathers with
the guide, so we jumped in on that site. The
other people dove another side because against one of the Like
I said, it was fairly new and you know, as
you know, it's a relatively deep site. Yeah, so we
dropped in, did the whole wreck, uh, and then drifted
across the sand into a reef, and then did the reef.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
So we're I.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Forgot what the run time was, probably ninety minutes.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Or right quite two hours actually, I think I believe
if I remember correctly, I think it was Bianca Se
that I did my deepest dive ever on the rebreather.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
It's about one hundred and forty Yes, that was that.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
Yeah, I got pictures of me and uh mermaid Tony.
I was going to ask you if that's the wreck
that I dove when I was in Grenada, but I
don't think it was that deep. Well, it's down in
the sand. We you can float along the surface. Yeah
it was.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Was that the old concrete wreck or no.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
No, another one.
Speaker 8 (40:47):
You're talking about the one that's got this full of
bags of concrete.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Yeah, yeah, that's a different that's a different one. Was
an ocean liner.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Okay, that's the one that idea of the concrete one, yes,
but the beyoncre see yeah, that way, that's right, it
was like one forty five we got down there. I
think it was at the bow. Does that sound right?
At the bianca See, that was about the depth the
everything like that.
Speaker 5 (41:08):
I think we dropped one hundred and thirty hundred and
forty something like that.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Yeah, And we took some pictures in front of the
bow of the boat and that ended up being the
deepest dive I've ever been on. It was on a
rebreather and grenada. Cool cool stuff. But yet, like I said,
and you experienced, the spotted eagle rays are almost guaranteed
on that wreck every time you go. They just have.
It's just a cruising area, they say for the spotted
eagle rays. Too cool, pretty sweet. All right. Look, our
(41:34):
two with the world's first radio show devoted to diving
is on deck. We got more to talk about Indonesia
obviously there with doctor Doug Eversaw. We got Kenny from Sweetwater, Scooba.
We're gonna check in with him a little bit more.
So stick around, just getting started here on the world's
first radio show devoted to diving. Oh and by the way,
I hear tang y'all Strip club PJ and a diver
(41:56):
friend of the show wants to call in, So that's
come not the monocuper No. If you because yourerive there,
you want to be there. On radio.
Speaker 1 (42:11):

This seems the logical place for fish to congregate. Remember,
you could listen live or to archives of past editions
of Scuba Radio worldwide over the internet at scuba radio

radio every week for Scuba Radio, the world's first radio
show voted to diving. Well it's all very nice yet,
but we should be going there. I miss me wife
in the oxygen.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yes, we all miss our loved ones and gas. Let's go.
Speaker 7 (42:49):
The opinions you just heard on scuba radio are those
of the hosts, callers, and guests. Okay, you know what
I just heard.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 7 (42:58):
They're not necessarily those of any station or network. It's
management or advertisers on scuba diving does involve risk and
should never be conducted without proper instruction and training.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
What's the worst thing that could happen, I could die.
Speaker 7 (43:11):
Have any questions or comments, feel free to do so
via the web at scuba radio dot com.
No, hello there, don't be alarmed. We're just preparing your
listening device for Scuba Radio, the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. We do this, of course, by fielding
new radio with water. We're professions. Thanks to me. You
won't even get wet. You see, I've crammed every appetitive
my body into the cracks and crevices of your radio.
By the way, don't touch your on off knob. That's
a very sensitive area. Anyway, I should remind you. We
(00:28):
believe in the buddy system, just like diving. So don't
listen alone. Call your buddy and tell them that scuba
radio is about to be given.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
We're going to start a new life under the sea.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Am I gonna drown? Of course not.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Just stay calm and let the gentle currents relecture every muscle.
Speaker 5 (00:49):

Speaker 1 (01:01):
And no, here's your dive guy for Scuba Radio, Greg
the Dive Master, and welcome.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
I am Greg the Dive Master. Cj in the studio
with me aka cok Jensen. What is your what is
your slogan? What's your doing that today? What do you
mean you're not doing that? Cok Johnson's your name and
diving's your game? Why would you want to Why would
(01:29):
you want to not claim that notoriety now, especially as
it's catching on. I mean, you know what I'm talking about,
don't you? So this week, yeah, I think I do
this week just to bring everybody up to speed. I
get a text message from a friend of mine who's watching, uh,
(01:50):
Match Game, you know that TV show they've tried to
reboot what three four times? He blanked her in the mouth, Yes,
and uh he said, Oh my god, Greg, you have
got to hear this and watch the latest episode of
the Match Game TV show on ABC. The host is
(02:11):
Martin Short and then they bring in all these beadless
celebrities and hacks and try to be funny kind of
like what we do on this show. Actually it's not
that far from an upgrade. Yeah, but but you know
they're getting desperate when they start, you know, doing stuff
like this. Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Dwayne the Rock Johnson is done with Hollywood now he's
Dwayne the Cock Johnson. By the way, that's spelled c
A U l K. Playing the rock Johnson is done
with Hollywood. Sound, we're playing the cock Johnson, a handyman
who fixes your flanks.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
And Gee Johnson.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, okay, Quinn, Dwayne the rock Johnson is done with Hollywood.
Now he's dye the cock Johnson and handyman who fixes
your blanks.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Holes.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's getting spicy.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Holes.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
I don't get that.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Well, cock fills your hole?
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Oh cock like Yeah, I was not thinking that, but
I was thinking pipes.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Because you're educated as the filthiest game I've ever experienced
in my life.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Yeah, well, welcome to our world. I mean time does
that air? I have no idea. I just pulled it
up online and uh, you know, imitation is the ultimate
form of flatterings and serious. So they've heard about Cox
Johnson on scuba radio over the years. Wow you think so? Yeah,
(03:51):
they spell it wrong. Wow, as my guess, But but
yeah you should. You should be proud that they're trying
to I'm not proud steal your thunder from down under. Okay,
well anyway, but that's the answer I would have given.
What's that? That's okay? Well now we know, now we know.
(04:14):
But look, here's some information you didn't need, didn't need,
but we gave it to you anyway. It's just what
we do here on the world's first radio show devoted
to diving. And because you know, CJ is kind of like,
he's all, you're almost like our mascot. You realize this, right,
your alter ego Cox Johnson. You know, uh, diving your
(04:36):
game and you know I am we should promote it.
According you're trying as hard as you can. What you're
trying to promote it, I'm building you up. I mean,
I can't take all the accolades of this show for
twenty eight years. I don't need to build up. I'm
just a stupid sidekick. Okay, So any of youh CJ's
(04:58):
in the studio, we get this radio scuba squad connected
via the web, made up a bubble boy, Casey the
tobacco nut Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba with us today. And
if that weren't enough, we have a EMT on standby
doctor Doug Eversall, and he always points out like, hey,
well well he's done that years ago, way more than
(05:20):
any and he's told me many times. He goes, look,
you know, if anything happens to any of you, folks,
I can't do anything for you. I'm a I'm a
heart surgeon. I just I just something like that, Is
that right, doctor Doug?
Speaker 8 (05:33):
Something like that. I don't have all of equipment with
me to do much. I can pronounce you dead. I'm
pretty good at that.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Okay, by the time by the time he scrubs up,
you're gone.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
True.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Yeah, I mean, and how long it takes. But he's
connected via zoom too, so alls he can do is
sit there and watch watch us uh go so uh.
But but you know, it's the thought that counts. He
could jam a pen in your throat. Maybe I don't
think he can virtually. I mean, he could instruct you
to save me. Here, Cox Johnson, do this, you know,
(06:08):
maybe he could do that. Yeah, that would be radio
it would be radio gold. The video would go viral.
There's no question about that. Blood everywhere. Yeah, but but
not everybody makes the match game TV show. But CJ
did I mean, are you impressed by that, doctor Doug
or you? Oh brother? What did I do? Once again?
(06:31):
By joining the city.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Johnson was a little bit much. I didn't know that
show was back.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah. Well, you know they're reaching when they're going for
those stupid jokes. Yeah, there's that. Casey Tobacco Net was
impressed though, and he was just probably offended because you know,
I don't think that it did as well as you've
wanted it to. What are you talking about? No, Casey's impressed,
(06:58):
He's no, he's just surprised. Like I don't think is impressed.
Why don't they do the classic scuba radio joke where
we talk to them and they never have their microphone on.
It's a classic Vinnie two tanks and that's what Casey's doing, right.
You won't see that that quality kind of yea, good job. Yeah, well,
(07:21):
bubba boy, you were impressed. Yeah, I mean, you know
CJ or Coke Johnson on a personal level, I want
to say that that sounds really weird, but uh, you
were impressed, were you? Come on? Oh yeah absolutely yeah absolutely?
See all right see you were You are a shy
uh star, aren't you? You just don't like that. I
(07:45):
can't fake it. I wasn't in love with that. We
weren't in love with that. Yah. I mean you're offended
that they're stealing, You're I just I was like, eh,
all right, okay, all right, well any who? Oh it
was great. No, it was wow. There it is he
there it is ripping with insincerity Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba.
(08:09):
That's the kind of thing you won't probably catch on
one of his YouTube videos. And there's probably valid reasons
for that. But yeah, just one were you you know,
and I don't know, I don't know what. How would
you describe that from your perspective, Kenny, just like you
prefer to stay silent maybe or what do you think?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
To be honest, Greg, we'll put anything on our channel,
especially if it rocks the boat so.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
It makes match game TV.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Yeah, there's nothing off limits on my channel. Some of
you may already know.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
Well, yeah, they have. He's dabbled. Let me put it
that way. He's very generous. When you said one word,
I thought he was gonna say garbage. Really yeah, why
well you think that's what this is? That's you have
nothing to do with me. It was about the rock
Dwayne Johnson, It wasn't They were using that classic joke
(09:06):
about cock. Yeah, c A U l K. Yeah, it's
an old one. Well exactly, it's an old one that
we've been doing for many years now. We don't use
it like like squirting the cock into the corner of
your bathroom, mixing a tile. Yeah, we don't use it
that way. We don't know you use it like a chicken.
(09:29):
That's right, that's right. You have the rooster is your
ask God, right, Okay, So just so we're clear. So

Your surface interval is complete to me, you are now
clear to dive with Scuba Radio Medium, the world's first
radio show devoted to diving.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Dive, Dive, dive.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
Lay it on me.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Tell me what you can do.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
I can communicate with every living creature living in our
vast oceans.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
Okay, talks to fish, guys. Also, I'm gonna stop here right.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
There because I know your powers. It's talks to fish.
The rest of the page is blank.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
I have sonar, yeah for talking to fish.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I have Superhero.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
Uh, so you can listen to.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
I can breathe underwater.
Speaker 10 (13:01):
Because that's where the fish you talk to. You are
night vision, so you can find the fish. If you
ever want a nighttime shit wag. I can do a
lot more than just talk to fish, Okay. I can
transport the entire Justice League by manipulating the waves of
the ocean. Oh wow, you know what else can transport
people on the ocean?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
The boot.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
This is the world's first radio show to vote in
the diving. I am Greg the dive Master c j
akaa Cock Johnson in the studio with me. I think
that's not the superhero signal that we need to work
for you. I think we need can't help it, It
just comes out. I mean, would that even show up underwater?
You're diving? Is cock Johnson? And can you even do that?
(13:45):
You'd hear it? Would you pop my rig out and
you go huh okay? Well that would be the signal
to return to the vessel safely. Not necessarily, I couldn't
trying to alert you of something else. That would just
be like, hey, check out this cool fish. Look at me,
and then I'll tell you huh okay. I definitely would
(14:05):
look at you, as well as everyone else on the
dive would probably go what's wrong with that person? Like
I ignore, there's nobody else's having a seizure be just
us off by ourselves. Okay, well maybe there's that. Oh
I have to alert them, I would outside anyone else. Yeah,
I mean people could mistaken that as a recall system.
Really yeah, does that sound like that? I mean if
(14:27):
you did that underwater, I would turn and go, what
the hell's wrong with you? But you know, well I know,
but not everybody else unless we've informed them on the
boat before we jumped in the water during the dive briefing.
He may have an outburst of poultry like sounds. Okay,
(14:47):
there's that, Just ignore it, all right, So we do
have a Casey the tobacco not backs. Now we can
hear him. Yeah, and he came back because he's thoroughly impressed.
What is that good thing that we can hear? Well,
that's do you have? Yes? Go ahead?
Speaker 11 (15:06):
One is are you sure we're spelling Cox Johnson correctly?
And the second is shouldn't his call signal be a
little more like a crowing rooster instead of a female rooster?
Speaker 7 (15:22):
What you're saying, uh that c J was uh doing
what a female rooster sounds like? Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 11 (15:29):
Asked, you know the ones that run around Key West
with all the little chicks.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
They sound. Roosters are not in Key West, it would
be a female rooster.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Oh yeah, So so you have to do more of
a crowing kind of sound I supposed to just yeah,
we need from the from the you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
A crows?
Speaker 7 (15:53):
You want? What is so wrong with us that we
are mildly amused by this? I do think it's a
mental issue almost. Thank god we got Kenny from Sweetwater
Scuba and doctor Doug ever saw with us today to
(16:13):
kind of raise the bar just a little. That's up
to you, man. You got to go to them. Well, yeah,
I am. I mean I wanted to get the crap
out of the way for cotone brought on the A team.
You know, you flesh out the nonsense and then that
leaves hopefully better stuff to look forward to, you think. Yeah,
go so, doctor Doug, after that kind of build up,
(16:40):
I don't know. Yeah. You Actually you just got back
into the country, right, You've been traveling? Is that it?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Yeah's been fortunate to be traveled a lot the last
couple of months.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
We just got back in Indonesia yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Actually, yeah, and you did something pretty crazy. You were
part of this project to recreate uh the uh ty
rescue or what what was that all about?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Yeah, so back in that would have been the last
week of July, first week of August, the guys a
Dive Talk had their annual meetup and this year was
down in Rowatan. So we were down in Rowatan for
a week and several guest speakers Jonathan Byrd from Blue
World TV, doctor Joe Deturrey who did the one hundred
(17:23):
Days Underwater a couple of years ago, and then one
the other guest was actually Rick Stanton, who was Rick
is the guy that actually found the thirteen soccer you
know soccer kids. He's one popped up you remember the video,
like you know how many of you are there and
so forth.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
That was Rick.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
So he was talking about the Tody rescue. Well, apparently
while he was there, he appropriated one of the actual
hardnesses that they used to drag the kids out, and
he brought it with him kind of as a prop,
and at dinner one night, he just kind of off
the cuff jokingly said to be kind of funny to
to strap people into this harness and drag him around
(17:58):
the pool and show him how hard it would be
to do this sort of thing, so we absolutely had
to do that. So one afternoon, there's about a about
one hundred divers there.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
We had about one hundred people there.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
You could sign up and either be a rescuer, you
could be a victim, or you could be both.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I was one of the victims.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
So when you're a victim, you're put in a full
face mask, your hands are tied behind you, zip tied
behind you, your ankles are zip tied together, and you're
laid flaves down in this harness. And then whoever's playing
rescuer has a blackout mask on and they're trying to
drag you around the edge of the pool without getting lost,
and about half the way through they pop you up
(18:39):
and they pretend to do an injection to give you
more sedation and keep dragging around the pool. So it's
kind of entertained to show people all difficult and this
is a three foot four foot pool which is crystal
clear water, but in a blackout mask. About half the
people just start spinning in circles and got lost, and
about half the people kind of made it through the
course and save their victim. So it was kind of
(18:59):
a kind of a cool experiment to do with people.
We had I think thirteen or fourteen different scenarios of people,
you know, people who are either rescuers or victims, and.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
So it was all one afternoon.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, but it was kind of cool. Were you rescued
or did your guy not make.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
I survived, Yeah, you did survive.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
You played a good like vic individual.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
It's a little one guy.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
The reason I was doing it, I was just gonna
hang out, you know with Everyboddy and one guy gets
they put him in the harness and they like hog time.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
He's like, Okay, I'm out. He's like, I'm not doing this.
So they asked me if I would be willing to do
it again. I'm like, yeah, sure, no problem. So I
jump back in.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
So it's uh, but yeah, you can imagine that's it
was a a little uh. If you're not real comfortable underwater,
having your hands tied behind, your feet tied together, and
your face down, can't see anything, and someone who you
don't know is dragging you.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Through the pool, it's a little bit intimidating.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I have no doubt it is. But if that doesn't
answer the question that uh, you know divers, well I
are divers, so twisted I don't know what else does
I me other than this show. Yeah, you listen to
the show and hear what we talk about, and then
or you have the choice to go to row a
Tan and get hog tied and dragged underwater.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
It did show you why you'd have to, uh while
they had to sedate the kids, because I mean, these
are you know, everyone there was divers who weren't three
feet of water, so it wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Yeah, and even a lot of these people are getting
a little stressed doing it.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
You can imagine being a you know, a thirteen year
old kid who doesn't speak English, and some of them
don't even probably don't even.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Swim right, they're trying to do this. You'd have to
sit up to get you through this whole thing.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
They're soccer players, so they're not used to using their
hands anyway, So that's half Okay, that's an interesting insight, Uh,
something I would expect from top Johnson. No, it's more
of a rooster crow. You've got to get this right now.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Excuse excuse prepared to rick for guy.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba radio, the world's first radio show devoted
to diving.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Dive, Dive, Dive. I have big, big news for you.
So what is this big big news.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Deep diving you. This is the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. I am Greg to Die Master c
J A k. A. Cox Johnson in the studio with me.
Hollywood has taken notice. Okay, you know sometimes I'm just
(22:58):
easily amused. That was subtle. But I you know, once again,
here's your Your persona is of a rooster crowing proudly.
Sometimes they don't do the hold. I think that would
be too long and obnoxious. I just like this short,
staccato outburst, okay. And that would be like so if
(23:19):
we were diving and uh, you wanted to get my attention,
you would just like say, say you saw like a
sea cucumber, like, hey, check this out. Yeah, I'm always
looking for those. And I would just be cruising along
in the water column and I would hear I would love,
Oh there's that. There's the signal. Okay, ah, I mean,
(23:47):
you know, that's an interesting for a c cucumber. That
might be it. That might be it. I think, excuse me,
I would build it understand that underwater anyhow, doctor Doug
ever saw with us. He just got back from Roatan
(24:07):
recreating the Tie Cave rescue. That's impressive, that's kind of wild.
I mean, would you do that, Greg, would you want
to be a rescue? Well? No, what a baby? What
I'm on? No, I don't know, it'd be fun to watch.
I don't know, I don't. I mean, how did it
feel being the victim? Uh, doctor Doug when they they
wrapped you up, hog tied you put you on the
(24:27):
board and had your dragged through the water with you know,
no sight? Yeah, I mean, and it took how long
you figure how long did they keep.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Minutes or something that?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
I mean, but do you have any idea whether or
not the guy telling you is having any success at all?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
You?
Speaker 7 (24:44):
I mean, you're totally if you're if they bang your
head against the wall, the wall, Okay, hey we made
it booge.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Right, Yeah it was it wasn't bad. I mean again,
it's it's all amount of health coal people are on
the water. Most of these are divers, so it's like, yeah,
you know, I'm a full face mask, I got a
tank on my chest. It's like I can breathe. So
what's the worst that's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Well, it's so fun to do. Are the victims in
blackout masks too?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Or no?
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Yeah, no, No, we're at the stakes down, so you
couldn't eat it anyway.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Okay, Oh I thought you were blinded out too, but
no you could see because yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
I always got my eyes closed just to kind of
simulate it. But yeah, you didn't have to be.
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Did anybody say, knock me out, give me a shot?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, like I said, one guy said, he's out. They
put his hands behind his back. He's like, no, no, I'm
not doing this after all. Let me out of this thing.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
I'm in another country. It's Mexico. Things could go horribly wrong.
I could wake up from this experience missing a kidney
or something. Yeah, I mean, I see that's what Maybe
that's just me.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
I have a great idea for demo.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Oh God help us.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
We we hog tied Greg with his hands and feet
with a zip tie, put him in a blackout mask,
and time the participants whoever can hog time fast as
wins a.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
P I love it. I love this idea. Doesn't sound
like it has anything to do with scuba diving. We're
doing it.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Recreating the rescue.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
We could raise money for charity. We could have people
bid on the right to do that. Please tie him
up and take him out of here. People probably love
to abuse you. Vinnie two tanks with us now and
he got here just in the nick of time, because
now it sounds like he's pretty excited about this concept.
Do you think there, Vinnie? Would you would you? Would
you volunteer to be tied up like those Thai kid
(26:33):
tay cave rescue folks and recreate that kind of thing
experience or.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
No, I'm like you No, hell no, hell.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Sometimes Vinnie surprises us at all, And I bet Bubble
Boy would. Yeah, Oh, sure of course I would. Yeah,
I'll be the victim and you can rescue me if
you want to do that. I do either rescue me.
I want to see if I could do it. Well
it be the rescuer. Yeah, well it's not much different
(27:06):
than way harder than you think it is. Well, I
actually it might be. Uh. I mean when you compare
it to the rescue diver skill that you have to
you got to do a tow a an you know,
unconscious diver in that Uh, you're not what your site
isn't taken away in that when you do that, well,
that is true, But as far as being towed and stuff,
(27:28):
I mean, it's just it'd be I mean, because there's
techniques you learn and rescue diver, right, doctor Dougie. Either
push them by their fins or you tell them from
the back of the you know, the tank valve. You know,
those are the two techniques. And I guess when you're
you were telling them, you're doing it from the tank valve, right,
is that what you grab or when they know.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
This was an actual harness, you're in the harness that
handles they hold and drive you with it.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
You mention that, Greg. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:54):
The concept they when they actually took these kids was
they said, you know, they these are some dive or
hate divers, so they go from dry areas to wet
areas and during the drive so they drag cargo.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Through there all the time.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
So they they well to make the kids basically like
cargo and just dragging through. So we originally were going
to try and run line through the pool, but that
did really work very well. So we just kind of
had them follow the edge of the pool with one
hand while trying to hold the victim of the other
hand and not get lost and whatever it was, it was.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Entertaining, right, Okay, all right, yeah, what Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba,
what do you think would you do that? Or sounds
too crazy? I mean you've done all that. He does
his stuff all the time, so I'm expecting you to
say absolutely, But well, am I off on that? Or what? Kenny?
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (28:39):
As long as let me back up, We did a
zombie dive a few years ago and moved in around.
We did it at night. Yeah, and we made it
a competition. It will take me too long to explain it,
but we had about five zombie divers and then participants
had to go around and get these little globe bracelets
and you couldn't quite see the other one, so you
had to follow this path. And we had uh five
(29:01):
divers set up at stations patrolling where they had to
pick up their little globe bracelets and they were dressed
in zombie suits nice and a lot of them were like, Okay,
it got a little claustrophobic in these dark zombie suits,
just waiting by myself with hair floating and everything. But
to answer your question, Greg, yes, I would do it
(29:21):
as long as I could.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Video it.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Yeah, Okay, well, of course content post it.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Yeah, everything's content in world.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Absolutely. Yeah. That that does sound kind of creepy though,
because zombie y e. I mean, we've talked about doing
like the underwater you know, haunted dive, haunted house thing,
but I didn't even think about that thing. If you're
one of the scare actors, our divers underwater that I mean,
you're sitting there waiting for the next victim to you know,
(29:50):
swim by, and you're sitting there by yourself ready to
scare them. I mean, I don't know if that wouldn't
I didn't even think about that part of it that
would make And that's what you're talking about. The folks
got a little uh uh, you know, creeped out maybe,
is that it, Kenny?
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yeah, because it's dark, they're kind of under they weren't deep,
maybe ten or fifteen feet deep, just under the edges
of Devil's Den, just kind of where they're hiding in rocks.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
And by yourself, and you're you're thinking after a few minutes,
like did they forget me? Yeah, it was like a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
We had one kid panic went up to the surface.
Now granted they were only like ten feet deep. We
had a couple of rescue divers up top, and he
panicked and went up to the top and then was like,
oh yeah, I just you know, just needed a minute,
and I wondered which way to go again, and to
freaked out. It freaked out where you know, we were
(30:46):
of course like, okay, sure what It was pretty creepy
because they could barely see through them and we had
like zip tied them up beforehand and got them in
and everything, so every you know, everything just bloats all
around you and things start working the way and the
places they're not supposed to, and and one of them
almost had to come up because the hair was like
(31:06):
getting caught in something. I don't I don't remember being
I can't see very well and it's dark.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
I can't see. Yeah, okay, well, I mean these are
some of the things you got to think about if
you want to do uh, you know, something creepy like that,
or I don't know, or or do something for Dima
and turn it into a contest. I don't know how
we could do that, but if we, if we do,
we just we Casey just said, well that that part,
(31:33):
everything sounds great, with the exception of using me a baby.
No no, I have to be the one to kind of.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
Throw you on the ground, simp till your hands and
eat we time it.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
No, no, no, no, I'm the one who has to do
the play by play. That's my role. No I do
this shop No no, that's not a JOPP for Cock
Johnson or coming up.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He's the worldwide Scuba Radio network.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Excuse prepared for guy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba Radio, the world's first radio show devoted
to diving.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Dive, Dive, dive.
Speaker 12 (32:31):
A professional mermaid says, unwanted advances from merverts is the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Part of the job.
Speaker 12 (32:37):
Just like that, you've been made aware of a new
profession and it's very serious problems and the word mervert.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
The world spors radio show devoted to diving. You know
CJ and I aka Coke Johnson talking about how to
make this thing work? Uh for con test I deem it.
First off, it can't be me. I can't be the
one who'd be tied up. No, no, no, I have to
(33:08):
do the play by play for the crowd. And uh
and if you know when they do the hog tying
and they walk them through the floor of the show
or something, and then you then you got to bring
them back to life, right, you gotta do mouth to
mouth and I'm that can't happen. Don't be disgusting. What
(33:30):
do you mean they got to be brought back to life? Yeah, there,
you just wait for the sedative to wear off. I
would assume, well, it's okay, so that would be uh
some of Jerry the diver guy's moonshine. No no, we
we uh no wasting that all right, Well you can't
(33:51):
mix that with a sedative. Are you kidding me? You
kill him? Well, I don't think you need the sedative.
I think uh oh, Jerry springwater do the trick idea? Okay? Yeah,
usually they are mouth to mouth. Greg, You're you're perverted
and filthy. Well, I think that's why Casey soak your
head and ebb. So that's why Casey was like, hey,
(34:14):
that's that's hog time. Greg, did I master up?
Speaker 11 (34:17):
Wait man, wait a minute, where did he go from
hog tying you for time to mouth to mouth?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
I have missed that. You have to be Yeah. The
whole idea is to uh, you know, compare this to
the ty Cave rescue experience and Casey, you don't just
tie him up. I don't believe there was any mouth
to mount.
Speaker 11 (34:38):
Doctor Doug did not say anything about anybody doing mouth
mouth did not.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Well, that's Greg that might Hey, look they were in Mexico,
so after the event was over, they go back to
their rooms, have some tacos. I digress. Then then I
take it all back. They would never do that in Honduras.
You're right, uh AnyWho.
Speaker 11 (35:04):
You just want to have mouth to mouth?
Speaker 7 (35:06):
Whoa too far with the dude? No? No, I don't know.
I heard. I don't think you did. Maybe in your
in your head, you might have. Everyone just heard it.
You need to get that out of there too. Everyone
just bad thought. Bad thoughts lead to bad actions. My friend,
(35:27):
that was all you just stop it right now. I'm saying,
okay that we're not going to do this. Let's just
get that one off. Okay. I just don't want to
do it because you don't want to look weak. No, No,
I bet bubble Boy would do it. Well, I would
do it. You would get hot tied and let people
just tie you up, and then you know what would
(35:47):
happen is if we did this at the DIMA Show.
Then we we tie them up and then we just
leave now and see if they survive till the next morning.
Thing that wouldn't Now, that would be fun. I mean
I could get behind something like that, right, you would
eventually run out of air? You know this? What are
you talking about? We wouldn't do it underwater. We just
(36:08):
do it in front of the stage at the DEMA show.
My god, you're making this ten times worse. No, you
do it. They join us tomorrow morning, where we'd give
away more stuff and find out if bubble Boy had
survived being tied up for twenty four hours straight. Tune in,
don't miss it. It's all about marketing, super lame. Good job, okay,
(36:32):
all right, well, doctor Doug. Other than recreating the rescue
scenario that you guys did there in Honduras, I would
imagine you did plenty of diving as well. Was was
that the focus or what?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (36:44):
There was?
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yeah, I've actually actually, as luck would happen, I've actually
had got three trips back to back. We the Roatan trip,
like I said, there was about one hundred divers there,
so we had a bunch of boats and you know,
presentations of the evenings and stuff. So the diving was
I've not been to one plice I had not been
was Roytan. So that was actually very nice, cool, good
Caribbean diving, warm water, you know you'd like it. Uh,
(37:06):
lots of fish. We actually quite a few turtles, quite
a few eagle rays, which was kind of nice.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
And then about a week or two after that, the
Dovesburn Network. We had our summer Board of Directors meeting
down in Grenada, so we were diving there's uh, you know,
the whole board went down and we dove in the
mornings and had like three hour meetings all afternoon uh
each day. So we did that, and then a week
(37:32):
later Caroline flew to Wakatobi in Indonesia and just got
back yesterday.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
All Right, I want to get the load down on
that for sure. But before we get to Indonesia, let's
talk a little bit about Grenada. Did you guys do
the reck of the Rhone? And noting we did the
you mean the yeah, yeah, we.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Did the Bianca See it started to collapse a little bit, yeah,
but we did. Yeah, we did that one day.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
We know.
Speaker 8 (37:56):
The diving there was actually very nice as well. We
were with aquanauts, Grenada. You know, Uh, Peter and Glenda
aren't there anymore. But the new owners do a great job, rights.
Speaker 7 (38:06):
I've heard, but every time I've dealt with them, Doctor Doug.
When I went out to that wreck, the Bianca Si,
it would just guarantee we'd see spotted eagle rays. I mean,
for some reason in Grenada that I would always see
spotted eagle rays. Did you have that experience or no,
we had.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
We had them on the wreck.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
I didn't see otherwise, not during the other dives, but
on the wreck definitely.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:28):
And then we had lots of lots of good marine
life there with lots of octopus.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
For some reason. That's nice, and you know, tropicals and stuff. Well,
it was good.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
The board is uh a kind of a mixed bag
this year. So we've got a lot of very experienced divers.
We've got the people who are a little older, they
were still very very experienced. And we actually had one
of the board members had just gotten she had just
gotten certified a few weeks before, so brand new divers.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
So we had a we had a good crowd for
that for the time.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
Well, you know, Grenada is where I did my rebreather certification.
Years ago, and and I know you're into that. Were
you doing that as well? Or were you uh? Oh yeah,
go on.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
I took I took my go my small little go
or breather to Roatan, and I took it to Grenada.
They have very good CCR support there and I even
took it with.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Me to Indonesia.
Speaker 8 (39:15):
I did the twenty five dives where it was in
Indonesia on it as well.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Oh awesome. So when you had when you're in Grenada,
did you do one of those dives? This is kind
of what I did when I got trained there is
we jumped in the water with our rebreathers. We had
open circuit divers on the boat as well to do
two tanks, and we went down on the first dive
with them and stayed down while they came up, did
(39:39):
their surface interval for an hour, and then did their
second dive and then we came back up with them.
Did you do one of those type of things in
Grenada or no?
Speaker 5 (39:47):
We No, we did not, but we've done that on
other things before. This time.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
We there was two of us, were our breathers with
the guide, so we jumped in on that site. The
other people dove another side because against one of the Like
I said, it was fairly new and you know, as
you know, it's a relatively deep site. Yeah, so we
dropped in, did the whole wreck, uh, and then drifted
across the sand into a reef, and then did the reef.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
So we're I.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Forgot what the run time was, probably ninety minutes.
Speaker 7 (40:12):
Or right quite two hours actually, I think I believe
if I remember correctly, I think it was Bianca Se
that I did my deepest dive ever on the rebreather.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
It's about one hundred and forty Yes, that was that.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
Yeah, I got pictures of me and uh mermaid Tony.
I was going to ask you if that's the wreck
that I dove when I was in Grenada, but I
don't think it was that deep. Well, it's down in
the sand. We you can float along the surface. Yeah
it was.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Was that the old concrete wreck or no.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
No, another one.
Speaker 8 (40:47):
You're talking about the one that's got this full of
bags of concrete.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Yeah, yeah, that's a different that's a different one. Was
an ocean liner.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Okay, that's the one that idea of the concrete one, yes,
but the beyoncre see yeah, that way, that's right, it
was like one forty five we got down there. I
think it was at the bow. Does that sound right?
At the bianca See, that was about the depth the
everything like that.
Speaker 5 (41:08):
I think we dropped one hundred and thirty hundred and
forty something like that.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Yeah, And we took some pictures in front of the
bow of the boat and that ended up being the
deepest dive I've ever been on. It was on a
rebreather and grenada. Cool cool stuff. But yet, like I said,
and you experienced, the spotted eagle rays are almost guaranteed
on that wreck every time you go. They just have.
It's just a cruising area, they say for the spotted
eagle rays. Too cool, pretty sweet. All right. Look, our
(41:34):
two with the world's first radio show devoted to diving
is on deck. We got more to talk about Indonesia
obviously there with doctor Doug Eversaw. We got Kenny from Sweetwater, Scooba.
We're gonna check in with him a little bit more.
So stick around, just getting started here on the world's
first radio show devoted to diving. Oh and by the way,
I hear tang y'all Strip club PJ and a diver

management or advertisers on scuba diving does involve risk and
