Speaker 1 (00:04):
No, hello there, don't be alarmed. We're just referring your
listening device for Scuba Radio, the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. We do this, of course, by fielding
your radio with water. We're proficient. 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. Called 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?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Of course not.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Just stay calm and let the gentle currents relecture every muscle.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Under the Just get warmer.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
No, no, heg you take done rustations under the sea.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Where the hell are No, here's your dive guy for
Scuba Radio, Greg the Dive Master, and.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Welcome to our two of the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. I am Greg the Dive Master. CJ
is not in the studio. He's connected via the web
but he knows his role when it comes to our
two known as the Douche the Deuce. Right. Uh. So, uh,
you know, I'm taking advantage of this opportunity to have
(01:27):
the studio myself. I just connect with everybody remotely smell youts.
Excuse me, you heard me. Not're very gassy.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Today, just for that's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Okay, all right, So we get the scuba radio scuba
squad made up of cj Aka Cox Johnson, Jerry the
diary guy, burying the Bugger, Vinnie, two Tanks, and of
course Britney the Awkwa gypsy, the only one with any
you know, element of respect. Uh what do you say,
(02:03):
Barry the only one with ass class class. Okay, listen, Greg,
the only one who's not an ass. There we go, get.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Your mind out of the gutter.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Yeah, you're still feeling up fish right all right?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So uh you know I respect the fish just like
we respect Brittany. I don't eat grouper. Yeah, because I
had a cool encounter with a group of years ago
in the Canons.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Oh, by the way, Greg, Netflix called said they're going
to make a documentary about you really making love to
the grouper.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
Huh, that's the octopus.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Now it's Greg and a grouper.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Huh, Greg and the grouper.
Speaker 10 (02:45):
It's the grouper.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
No, it's not. This is rumor and any window and
we don't uh, we don't do any kind of thing. Yeah,
all right, enough closer, But we wanted to talk about
places to go in twenty twenty six. Now we talked
about the Cayman Islands. I'd like to go back there.
(03:07):
It's been a long time for me. Maybe that group
are still there, or maybe it's offspring. I don't know.
There's a lot of friendly groupers all around the Caribbean
that you know, dive operators have befriended over the years.
And once again, that's why I don't eat it. I
try not to eat grouper because they're too friendly and
they're like the Labrador retrievers in my eyes, so I
(03:29):
don't eat dog. But they're delicious. Wrong. Snapper are way
better like hogfish. They're kind of dumb as a rock,
So if it's a dumb fish, I'm okay. But grouper
can be pretty smart. They're pretty young fish. Lionfish shouldn't
be there in the first place, so I have no
problem with them and eating them, and they're tasty as well.
(03:50):
So there's plenty of other options as opposed to grouper
that I think are actually even better and less you know,
feel as guilty about eating them. But when it comes
to going to the Cayman Islands, I mean, there's it's
great diving, it's easy diving.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I've always said, especially Grand Cayman's like going to like
the Disney of the Caribbean, because it's well, you know,
there's good, clean, clear water. But it's very very developed.
I mean, the resorts are really high end some of them.
There's a lot of infrastructure. It doesn't really feel like
going to a Caribbean island. When you go to Grand Cave,
(04:29):
you go over to well that's what you do. You
go down. If you want to get the real out experience,
you go to Cayman Brack or Little Kyman and and
that's what you did on your last trip, right Brittany,
when you and Vinnie went out there and you liked it. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (04:43):
Yeah, there's a large group of us.
Speaker 11 (04:46):
And then we took a little twin ater plane from
Cayman Brock to Little Cayman and then Little Cayman back
to Grand.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Camon, right, So yeah, and Vinnie, you liked it, you
had fun?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Oh I really liked it there. Yeah, yeah, consider going
back there?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Okay, you would consider. But what about you, Brittany? Would
you go back to the Caymans or you got too
many other places on your list that you want to know?
Speaker 10 (05:09):
Yeah, a lot of other places I want to go to.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, like what where do you want to go?
Speaker 10 (05:14):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (05:15):
This year I know for certain I have Turks and
Kikos in the book Grand Turk, and we're going to
go snorkeling with the umback whales and.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Wait, wait and Grand Turk okay, and when are you
doing that?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
In March?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh? Okay next year you're doing that? Okay, so they
I didn't know that. So on Grand Turk they have
a humpback whale season, all right. I mean I know
they do in the uh Dominican Republic, which the Silver Banks, right,
but they do that in Grand Turk as well though.
Huh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
And I'm super excited.
Speaker 11 (05:53):
The person that I'm going with is my best friend's stepmam,
and she is a biologist in kip Cod. So these
are actually the whales. Yeah, these are the whales that
are in kip Cod then they migrate to Grand Turk
to have their.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So she knows them, knows that of cool, she calls
them at home. Is that a is that kind of
a trip that you you do a liver board on
or you're doing it from land based operators and run out.
Speaker 11 (06:23):
There land based But you know, first we have to
fly to to the main airport and then we have
to get a little motel jumper.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Oh Providential Alleys. Okay, so you're flying there and then
take the jump over to Grand Turk. That's right, okay,
all right? Is that a diving thing or just snorkeling
or do you know?
Speaker 10 (06:46):
Uh no, that's just snorkeling.
Speaker 11 (06:48):
But then we're doing that every other day, and then
when we're not snorkling, we're going to be diving. I'm
really excited to do the wall dives because I think
when we went there on Explorer Adventures liver board, we
actually get over.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
To Grand Turk.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, they I think we have some special trips every
now and then, well they'll they'll go that far over
to Grand Turk, but generally they hit some other reefs
around Providential Allies. But uh but yeah, I mean when
you're talking about the humpback whales. It's pretty odd inspiring stuff,
but generally you're not diving. That's very regulated. I'm sure
(07:23):
probably there in Grand Turk as well, But when I
did that years ago with Explorer Ventures, you know they
do this, It's probably around the same time, I guess.
I don't remember what the months are that they do
their Silver Banks trips for about a month, you know.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
So it seems like i'd sewed up the next two
years though.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, they I mean they it's a hot ticket, there's
no doubt, but it's only snorkeling. There's no diving going on.
So because they they're you know, they're afraid it freaks
the whales out and stuff like that. But it's one
of those kinds of things that you want to you
definitely want to do if you have the opportunity, for sure.
So that's sound. It's pretty cool. So you got that
(08:01):
already on the books, and I don't remember. I don't
know what the diving nick Grand Turk is like otherwise,
but I would imagine it's probably pretty decent, just like
it is around Turks and Caicos. I mean, that's good,
solid fun, relatively easy type of diving in general. So
that sounds good. Are you going on that one, Vinnie?
(08:22):
Or is she only taking friends?
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Well that one is that one's like my childhood.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Friends girls only.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, that is kind of okay. Well then it is
Tripp Okay. Well then so you're saying Barry has a shot.
Speaker 12 (08:44):
No, Barry does not have a shot. That's an estrogen, Greg,
Barry doesn't have anything.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Barry has to paint the house that week.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
No, stop talking about Penny in the house. I'm not
doing that again if I don't have to.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Huh.
Speaker 12 (09:01):
I got a good ten more years before I have
to do that, and then I'll be.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Too painted it for four months.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Well, when you do it by yourself, it takes a
couple of months.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Huh. Okay.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
Anyway, Yeah, another place with uh uh Walt de Martini,
mister Gomez.
Speaker 6 (09:20):

Speaker 4 (09:30):
In Congo and Lucase. Yeah, what is that? That's meks
October October October highly recommended. I've been there. Oh, that's
the one thing that old Cox Johnson has on all
of us. But uh, one of many things. I'm not
sure about that, but yeah, that sounds pretty good. I
(09:50):
want to do that one. Maybe I can weasel in
on that. Let's let's talk more. Coming up, Stay close.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Vinnie?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Well, they uh like they just live.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
In the golf.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
They had like five years ago, they had like two
hundred of them, and now they think are down to
the least ten.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Really, so they're rare dolphins that they have.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Yeah, and they're and then they're they're probably going to
go extinct. And by the end of this, you know,
they they they're estimating there is like maybe six to
ten left.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Why So for us, what happened to them?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Uh, it's you know, it didn't know what happens.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's something related to you know, they go, you know
how they fish with these nets and stuff, and I
think what's happening is they the nets.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
They get caught up in the nets.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, and no one's changing the nets because you know,
it costs money. It's kind of a combination of huh,
that's what's going on.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But they just look like regular bottle nose spotted.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
They're they're they're unique. Could you could typekita and good?
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Do they have like black markings around their eyes and
like a shorter snout.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, like a raccoon.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That's it's really hard to I just thought, since we're.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Going there, let's go find the dolphins.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
When I mentioned it to the to the captain of
the ship, he's gonna laugh at me.
Speaker 15 (17:08):
Going.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
Yeah, really, okay, we at least you know pause, which
is Spanish for the pause.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Oh well, there's two lapause. There's Lapause Mexico and La
Pause Belivia. So which one you're going to me?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I'm pretty sure they're going to Mexico.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
They say you can go swimming with whale sharks. There's
a seed lion in colony there, and they said enjoy
delicious street food, especially the fish tacos.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
And there's a park that's about an hour away. It's
very similar to Fully Bully.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Okay, well that sounds like quite the adventure you got planned.
All right, So we got that on the books. That's next,
Well that's in November. But let's look at twenty twenty six.
What do you think of Britney?
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Okay, Costa Rica for sure?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Really? Why?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Yeah, we're going to the jungle and we're going probably
deep sea fish and diving.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Huh. And that's just something you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
No, there's a bunch of a bunch of us that
that are going so staying like renting a big house
and then going and doing a bunch of different things.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, so that's one.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Another trip is going to be Air this year for sure,
I'm definitely going to go.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, so and uh, Costa Rica, you want to go there,
but it sounds like it's not just diving. You want
to go for like the rainforest and all that kind
of adventure stuff. And then you want to go to
to do the jungle and maybe deep sea fishing. Yeah,
so but you probably runt a big house. Greg, Yeah,
(18:40):
I mean what yeah, what about that?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Jerry?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Uh Barry, would you guys want to go to Boner?
Shut up? I didn't.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I didn't say a word.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I didn't take a boat to the bone town.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
Everyone is invited to go to bon Air if they like, again,
I want to run a big house and then just
do a bunch of short having.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I'm even going, so Benny, maybe I'm busy.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I can't make it. Maybe not I thought I was going,
is he?
Speaker 16 (19:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
That one?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
That Bonair trip is like anyone can go that wants
to go.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Okay, some trips I do, anyone can go, and then
other trips I'm like, this is specific.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, it's not just for the ladies.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah something.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And then also I want to go to Utila, Roatan
and Guanaha.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Wow, that's it Ganaha.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It's one of the islands.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Yes, there's three bay islands in Honduras and uh it's
very difficult to get to that Guanaha, but we're.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Gonna have those. Yeah, yeah, Guanaha. I was actually scheduled
to go there years ago and then they had a hurricane.
I had to, uh plan to go somewhere else.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Castle Rock.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No, No, it was before all that stuff, but the
Gwanaha used to be before this hurricane hit and wipe
the out out the area there for a year or two.
I was scheduled to go out there and we had
to pull back from that. But yeah, that's a great
place a certain time of year, whales, sharks are almost guaranteed.
And u Utilla, Guanahai and what was the other one,
(20:30):
row In, row In. You're gonna hit all three? All right,
that sounds like a good plan. All right, we're gonna
have to join the awkwad Gypsy. Sounds like to me.

claws simon little we's on, I've got little poll.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I will be your friend.
Speaker 17 (23:32):
I will hold your hand and me and you can
walk along the sand. Understand, Hey, mister love you when
you great big claws. I'm a little wise on and
I've got little pause.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
I will be your friend.
Speaker 17 (23:44):
I will hold your hand and me and you can
walk along the sand on the sand. Under stuffish consolation,
I'm your wisea pas my custition, under stufffish constellation, I'm
your weed soapine stage.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
You know, I don't know, is that's how you know,
like Baron Jerry refer to each other when they're diving together.
What you're my crustacean And I mean, you know whatever
kind of like pillow talk they have on dive trips.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Oh your god.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
You know he is the one that fondels fish, so
I wouldn't say too much.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Great, it's not a fondling. It's more of a dayling.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
But regardless, ejigles it, not fondles it.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Okay, that's enough. Brittany has a big plan that I
think the rest of us just follow. I mean, she
could be our leader when it comes to our schedule
for dives in twenty twenty six. She's got uh fun
air on the list, and I mean all kinds of stuff.
I mean, and some of this stuff is already booked.
(24:59):
Is that right? And when you decide to pick a destination,
is it is it because you just haven't been there before?
Are you looking to do something in particular or or
is it the people you're diving? Well, obviously it's not
the people you're diving with. I mean, because she you
know a lot of times if Annie joins.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Her, So I know the answer to that one.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, I'd like to hear your perspective.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
The answer is besides diving, why she's there.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
She might want to partake in some cultural things or
or some other inland land based tours where you can
see other things.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Okay, so she.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Gets a good feel for what the whole place is
like rather than just the water.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's not just the water or the
company that she keeps.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
It's like when we were in Galapagos and she said,
let's go. We we we had a blast. We saw
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
We wentling with.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
You really missed out that when you guys didn't go
with us.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Well yeah, well it was after a week long, understand but.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It was really uh, it was really cool to see
all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh yeah, of course, I mean it's a it's always
great going to the Galapago.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So she likes to go to a place where not
only is they're diving, but there's potential other stuff that's
you could do.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah. Culture, Yeah, well, well.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Culture mostly cultural and other other land based you know,
other jungle you know, that would be cultural tourism.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
The same reason A lot of people like to go
to Amsterdam. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Why I've been there, but I don't know what the reason.
What was the reason?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Legal weed and whores?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh, I wish I knew that when I was there,
I missed out.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Well what did you see when you went to Amsterdam, Vinny?
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Oh, I got stories to tell, but not not go
to the Red Life district and look at I had
some experiences there, Yes, yes, what was the experience?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Just like I I arrived at Amsterdam at seven am
in the morning, and I am walking around with the map,
and and all of a sudden I realized, I think
I just saw a naked girl in the window.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And I look at all around me. There's girls standing
in the window in various.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Very said I said, well, I said, well, I guess
I'm here, And I folded up the map.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But I cutie. Hey, I want to go out spend
any mone in the morning on a day huh.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okay, yeah, it was interesting.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Hey is that why you are your favorite red spandix short?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I guess so there you go.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Okay, no, there's favorite colors red.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
No. No, I was doing triathlons many years ago and
you wore type fitting clothing and that's the color I chose.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Well, it's not many years ago anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
So you're like, are you telling him not to do
that anymore? It's to stop during the spandex Yeah, David
Lee Roth huh yeah. All as you need is like
a cucumber or something. The god.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
Then you would put it in the back the role
of better Scotch life savers.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Okay, I don't know what this has to do with
going diving. There's not really any diving.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
I was trying to tie the culture into it. Example, Well,
there's no diving in Amsterdam. I don't know, but it
is the cultural extreme example.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yes, Well, you know, for me, a lot of a
lot of the draw to where I want to go
also depends on who I'm going with, you know, Like
I like taking people to places that I have been
and already have an idea of what to expect and
kind of sharing you know, uh, their dive you know
advanced you know dive sites and things that I'm already
(28:53):
familiar with. That's always fun to kind of I feel
like it's like a way to pay it forward to
front of guy. What a giver? What can I sit
us here for? Greg? Everybody? Thank you, thank you, thank
you nice?
Speaker 10 (29:06):
So what is on your list?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Greg?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Well, it'll probably depend on what happens at the DIMA
show here in November. I mean, there's been several places
that we've spoke to over the years about going back
to uh you laughing at yeah, what what's so funny? Jerry?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
We went to when me and you went over to
talk to the Philippines that day, and the guy that's
over the Philippines said, when you introduced me to he thought,
he said I And He's like yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
And then so we talked to him a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
And he said, you can come to Philippines, but you
had to bring him.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
He's kin to Elvis.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Okay, wow, all right, you won't remember that. No, I
blocked that out years ago. I doesn't remember anything, just
barely drinking.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Hey, you know, that's the advantage of getting old. You
forget stuff. So when I go to a place I've
been before, sometimes it feels brand new.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Greig has the memory of Bennie.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, he's got which ones are going to be yet,
but he knows they're out there.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
That's true. I mean, you're right, Vinnie. I mean so
you'll have to tell.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Us where we've been the previous You have to answer
that when we asked where we went the past year.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yes, Greg, who had the top bunk you were, Vinnie?
Speaker 16 (30:27):
I did?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Why Why would that matter? Just curious?
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Okay, where do you plan on going?
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I actually really since I had a chance to be
on the Blue Manta, I highly reco I wish Greg had.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Put on a trip ready, I want to go.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, that's on the the White Manta.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
That is, when we're there, there's lots of lambit like
I saw Comodo dragons, many.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Big old Liz.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Maybe maybe we could do.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, there's different Yeah, we can find out what the
schedule is.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I'd like to do one of those over the water
bungalows though, you know we saw those in the Maldives too,
but they have those in Raja on pot you know
where you have the bungalows over the water on stilts
and stuff. That's pretty standard kind of uh you know, uh,
hotels and stuff scattered throughout all the atolls and stuff.
(31:27):
I was like, that'd be that'd be kind of cool
to stay at a resort like that. I mean a
lot of the stuff when we're going around the world
like that. I'm on the liver boards, but I'd kind
of like to stay on one of those. You guys
game for that. Yeah, No, Brittany says no, and Vinnie's
still thinking we'll find out why next Stay close.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
He's the Worldwide Scuba Radio Network.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
SCOOSE would be.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Scooter would be red a ring for dive.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba Radio Medium, the world's first radio show
devoted to diving.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Dive, Dive, Dive.
Speaker 15 (32:30):
I heard a shot. I heard a shot radio radio
Renver speaking Aboutlex thing about in the scenes in the scene.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Now I know, no, I know it was the.
Speaker 15 (32:42):
Bird was the first show to vote too diving to dive.
He all is send the scuba radio and right super
radio everyone a suber radio. Me all this, send the
scoobub radio Scuober Radio SCOO Radio.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
I am Greg the dive Master. Okay, so on my
list for twenty twenty six has been I'd like to
go stay at one of these resorts where they they
have the bungalows out over the water on stilts and
there's like a cart that kind of goes in Fiji.
Maybe they have some in Fiji. Stated one in well
(33:29):
Go Okay bangor which one chorl Son had those Brendy Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We stayed one, Yeah, I mean that had them separate.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It was like every island in the Maldives a few
weeks ago when I was out there had had those
type of resorts and I was like, I love doing
live boards, It's my favorite type of diving to do.
But I've always thought it'd be kind of cool to
stay at one of those bungalows out over the water
after a day of diving. It just kind of hang
out and uh, you know, watched the watch the ocean
(34:02):
in the evening, you know, and just I mean some
of them are very expensive, but but you got those
raj on pot you have them, you know in uh
Maldive's Red Sea. I mean they're becoming more and more popular,
so that that's something I kind of would check off
the list. Brittany, you said you don't like that idea
or no.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Yeah, I feel like when we stayed in them in Fiji,
they were just a little overrated.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I think it's more for tourists. You know, I'm not
a typical tourist. So it was very buggy.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Yeah, there was a lot of bugs. Yeah, yeah, but
you were you were in one of those bungalows over.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The word, had a patio with the water. We had
a kayak. We can go kayak somewhere, but it.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You know, it was it was it like a high
end that was a coral sun you did that. Those
were pretty nice, right, but it was just a little buggy.
Speaker 11 (34:51):
Nice but yeah, it was kind of remember that time
when we stayed at Ocean Point and we went way out.
Speaker 10 (34:58):
It was like me and Kristen and went way out
in that gazebo, right, and it was so bad with
the mosquitoes.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, I mean it probably just depends
on the time of you know, time of year and
if there's a breeze or not. Though too the bungalows
have working toilets. Yes, yeah, it's called the back door, right. Yeah, No, Greg,
you don't deficicate right into the ocean. I don't know,
(35:29):
did they. It really depends on the place your stand.
I think sometimes a fish like that stuff.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
Yeah, it was nice doing it, but who doesn't want
to dive an untreated sewage?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yes, I liked it a lot there, but I liked
Banga better.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Yeah, you just okay. Well, Fiji in general, you can't
go wrong in that part of the world. I think
it doesn't matter where you go in Fiji, you're gonna
have an amazing dive adventure. And I've been there several times,
but I go back there and heartbeat for sure. But
there's a there are a bunch of places I'd like
to go that I have not been. There's there're just
(36:06):
a handful, and then there's a bunch that I'd like
to go back that I haven't been to in a
long time, even if something as close by as the
Cayman Islands. Like I said, I've been there in a
long long time, and I'd like to kind of go
back there and revisit that and the other one. I
think we need to go to the Pacific, well, Indonesia,
that and Rajan pot obviously that's Pacific diving.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Hawaii, Palal and maybe go to Australia and go back there.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Well, I'm doing Australia and New Zealand next year. I
already have diving. No, I might. I'm making plans to
at least go snorkel the grape area of Reef. But
it looks here's the thing, it looks like I'm actually
going to be I potentially may go to Australia twice
in twenty twenty six. How about that sucking loser front.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
With the jet lag I hope.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
So hey, look, I've as already done the longest flight
in the world, so anything less than twenty hours cakewalk,
which was what what do you The longest flight in
the world was JFK to Singapore nineteen hours.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Think about this though, at your advanced stage, do you
really want to waste precious hours in the air.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Yes, they do. They go forever when you don't know
they're not. Yeah, you get them back by flying into
the future now you don't. Yeah, that's what happens when
you cross the international dayline like that. Not biologically yeah,
oh yeah, you don't know because you've never been cock Johnson. Sorry,
but I've been to Fiji back and that was the
(37:44):
same deal at the time. No, it is not the
hell out of me. Nah, Fiji's like eleven hours, ten
hours thereabouts. There was more than that.
Speaker 10 (37:53):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
But uh but when you do the longest flight in
the world and you lived to tell about it and
it really wasn't that bad, I'm like, yeah, I can
fly anywhere now I know how to work this system. Yeah,
and you won't dive. I'll take bets right now. No,
here's the thing. No, it's my first trip is scheduled
for February of twenty twenty six to Australia, and we
(38:21):
haven't decided if we're actually gonna book a dive scuba dive,
but we're definitely doing some store now. No, we're doing
some snorkeling on the Grape Berrier Reef.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
That'll be summertime down there, so you have to get
as an excuse.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Oh then what what excuse? What's wrong with snorkeling?
Speaker 16 (38:41):
No?
Speaker 12 (38:41):
No, no, because when you went up to Antarctica, no,
to the Arctic or whatever it was, or when you
went to Norway, whatever, you didn't go in the water
because it was too cold.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Right, I'm going in the water. I just said, I'm
gonna at the bare minimum. We're definitely snorkeling the grape
Barrier reef. But you diving well because I may not
have a dive buddy with me on this one.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
Who cares?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Yeah, well, you mean go solo and he's got the
instant buddy, you can find somebody sol certified. No, I
am not solo certified.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Actually, I would like to get solo.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Okay, Greg, I'll go with you. Wrong, Okay, I'll go
and dive buddy. I'll suck it up. If you need
to dive buddy, I'll go dive with Barry.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Can't say that, you son of a bitch. Barry struck
a nerve. Yes, but no. The thing is is that
I I I'm going with a bunch of people that
aren't necessarily certified to dive. I don't want to leave
them in a lurch. I'll just take them.
Speaker 10 (39:48):
You're an instructor, teach them.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
No, I'm going to Australia. You know it's Snorkeling is
just as good as diving, depends on where you go.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
But Greg, I'm sure that they will appreciate you leaving them.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yeah, who do you think I am? Vinnie? Two tanks?
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Come on now, Jerry, how dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Brothers?
Speaker 4 (40:13):
What did I do?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Now?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
I don't know, Vinnie, you're good man, just nod and
say yes, okay, Greg, Brittany's not impressed with what with
your snorkeling?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah, well I look disappointed her. Yeah, well that's what
I do.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
I mean, you will women see him like that?
Speaker 10 (40:36):
That's what I was thinking. I didn't know that there
was a Snorkel museum.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Greg. Maybe you'll make it into that.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
Yeah, I was good, britt hilarious Greg in the International
Snorkel Museum.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
You guys, forget that. I've I've already uh, I've already
needed to.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
Get a got the gift shop in Australia and get
a T shirt and bring back a tea here.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
That says I can't.
Speaker 9 (41:01):
Flew all the way to Australia flew a huge opportunity.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
No, that's not what I will do. And I dove
there before. Yeah, but I dove the Great Barrier Reef before,
so I you know, I mean, but look, I'm planning
to go there twice. The first time, I think it's
gonna be snorkeling, but the second time is going to
be a real dive adventure.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
What time of the year will be the second time?
Speaker 4 (41:27):
When when are you busy?
Speaker 3 (41:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (41:29):
No, no, the ear will be the second time when you're.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Busy and you're not allowed to travel. I got that, Joe, Yeah,
that's every day December. Greg, he called it a joke.
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Okay, on that disturb me. Now we're gonna wrap it
up till next time. Remember, it's always better where safe
dive and everyone so capting around to Jock dudstoo, y'all is.
Speaker 6 (41:58):
Down if you want to stay, and no.
Speaker 4 (42:04):
If you because you want to be there. On radio.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Media, Scuba Radio, it's a production of overboard entertainment incorporating radio.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
This seems the logical place for fish to congregate.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Remember, you could listen live or to archives of past
editions of Scuba Radio worldwide over the internet at scuba
radio dot com.
Speaker 18 (42:29):

Yes, we all miss our loved ones and gaps.
Speaker 6 (42:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
The opinions you just heard on scuba radio are those
of the hosts, callers, and guests.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Okay, you know what I just heard.
Speaker 16 (42:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
They're not necessarily those of any station or network, it's
management or advertisers. Scuba diving does involve risk. It should
never be conducted without proper instruction and training.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
What's the worst thing that could happen?
Speaker 4 (43:10):
I could die? Have any questions or comments, feel free
to do so via the web at scuba radio dot com.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Of course not.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Just stay calm and let the gentle currents relecture every muscle.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Under the Just get warmer.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
No, no, heg you take done rustations under the sea.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Where the hell are No, here's your dive guy for
Scuba Radio, Greg the Dive Master, and.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Welcome to our two of the world's first radio show
devoted to diving. I am Greg the Dive Master. CJ
is not in the studio. He's connected via the web
but he knows his role when it comes to our
two known as the Douche the Deuce. Right. Uh. So, uh,
you know, I'm taking advantage of this opportunity to have
(01:27):
the studio myself. I just connect with everybody remotely smell youts.
Excuse me, you heard me. Not're very gassy.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Today, just for that's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Okay, all right, So we get the scuba radio scuba
squad made up of cj Aka Cox Johnson, Jerry the
diary guy, burying the Bugger, Vinnie, two Tanks, and of
course Britney the Awkwa gypsy, the only one with any
you know, element of respect. Uh what do you say,
(02:03):
Barry the only one with ass class class. Okay, listen, Greg,
the only one who's not an ass. There we go, get.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Your mind out of the gutter.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Yeah, you're still feeling up fish right all right?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So uh you know I respect the fish just like
we respect Brittany. I don't eat grouper. Yeah, because I
had a cool encounter with a group of years ago
in the Canons.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Oh, by the way, Greg, Netflix called said they're going
to make a documentary about you really making love to
the grouper.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
Huh, that's the octopus.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Now it's Greg and a grouper.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Huh, Greg and the grouper.
Speaker 10 (02:45):
It's the grouper.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
No, it's not. This is rumor and any window and
we don't uh, we don't do any kind of thing. Yeah,
all right, enough closer, But we wanted to talk about
places to go in twenty twenty six. Now we talked
about the Cayman Islands. I'd like to go back there.
(03:07):
It's been a long time for me. Maybe that group
are still there, or maybe it's offspring. I don't know.
There's a lot of friendly groupers all around the Caribbean
that you know, dive operators have befriended over the years.
And once again, that's why I don't eat it. I
try not to eat grouper because they're too friendly and
they're like the Labrador retrievers in my eyes, so I
(03:29):
don't eat dog. But they're delicious. Wrong. Snapper are way
better like hogfish. They're kind of dumb as a rock,
So if it's a dumb fish, I'm okay. But grouper
can be pretty smart. They're pretty young fish. Lionfish shouldn't
be there in the first place, so I have no
problem with them and eating them, and they're tasty as well.
(03:50):
So there's plenty of other options as opposed to grouper
that I think are actually even better and less you know,
feel as guilty about eating them. But when it comes
to going to the Cayman Islands, I mean, there's it's
great diving, it's easy diving.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I've always said, especially Grand Cayman's like going to like
the Disney of the Caribbean, because it's well, you know,
there's good, clean, clear water. But it's very very developed.
I mean, the resorts are really high end some of them.
There's a lot of infrastructure. It doesn't really feel like
going to a Caribbean island. When you go to Grand Cave,
(04:29):
you go over to well that's what you do. You
go down. If you want to get the real out experience,
you go to Cayman Brack or Little Kyman and and
that's what you did on your last trip, right Brittany,
when you and Vinnie went out there and you liked it. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (04:43):
Yeah, there's a large group of us.
Speaker 11 (04:46):
And then we took a little twin ater plane from
Cayman Brock to Little Cayman and then Little Cayman back
to Grand.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Camon, right, So yeah, and Vinnie, you liked it, you
had fun?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Oh I really liked it there. Yeah, yeah, consider going
back there?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Okay, you would consider. But what about you, Brittany? Would
you go back to the Caymans or you got too
many other places on your list that you want to know?
Speaker 10 (05:09):
Yeah, a lot of other places I want to go to.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, like what where do you want to go?
Speaker 10 (05:14):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (05:15):
This year I know for certain I have Turks and
Kikos in the book Grand Turk, and we're going to
go snorkeling with the umback whales and.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Wait, wait and Grand Turk okay, and when are you
doing that?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
In March?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh? Okay next year you're doing that? Okay, so they
I didn't know that. So on Grand Turk they have
a humpback whale season, all right. I mean I know
they do in the uh Dominican Republic, which the Silver Banks, right,
but they do that in Grand Turk as well though.
Huh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
And I'm super excited.
Speaker 11 (05:53):
The person that I'm going with is my best friend's stepmam,
and she is a biologist in kip Cod. So these
are actually the whales. Yeah, these are the whales that
are in kip Cod then they migrate to Grand Turk
to have their.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
So she knows them, knows that of cool, she calls
them at home. Is that a is that kind of
a trip that you you do a liver board on
or you're doing it from land based operators and run out.
Speaker 11 (06:23):
There land based But you know, first we have to
fly to to the main airport and then we have
to get a little motel jumper.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Oh Providential Alleys. Okay, so you're flying there and then
take the jump over to Grand Turk. That's right, okay,
all right? Is that a diving thing or just snorkeling
or do you know?
Speaker 10 (06:46):
Uh no, that's just snorkeling.
Speaker 11 (06:48):
But then we're doing that every other day, and then
when we're not snorkling, we're going to be diving. I'm
really excited to do the wall dives because I think
when we went there on Explorer Adventures liver board, we
actually get over.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
To Grand Turk.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah, they I think we have some special trips every
now and then, well they'll they'll go that far over
to Grand Turk, but generally they hit some other reefs
around Providential Allies. But uh but yeah, I mean when
you're talking about the humpback whales. It's pretty odd inspiring stuff,
but generally you're not diving. That's very regulated. I'm sure
(07:23):
probably there in Grand Turk as well, But when I
did that years ago with Explorer Ventures, you know they
do this, It's probably around the same time, I guess.
I don't remember what the months are that they do
their Silver Banks trips for about a month, you know.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
So it seems like i'd sewed up the next two
years though.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, they I mean they it's a hot ticket, there's
no doubt, but it's only snorkeling. There's no diving going on.
So because they they're you know, they're afraid it freaks
the whales out and stuff like that. But it's one
of those kinds of things that you want to you
definitely want to do if you have the opportunity, for sure.
So that's sound. It's pretty cool. So you got that
(08:01):
already on the books, and I don't remember. I don't
know what the diving nick Grand Turk is like otherwise,
but I would imagine it's probably pretty decent, just like
it is around Turks and Caicos. I mean, that's good,
solid fun, relatively easy type of diving in general. So
that sounds good. Are you going on that one, Vinnie?
(08:22):
Or is she only taking friends?
Speaker 10 (08:31):
Well that one is that one's like my childhood.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Friends girls only.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yeah, that is kind of okay. Well then it is
Tripp Okay. Well then so you're saying Barry has a shot.
Speaker 12 (08:44):
No, Barry does not have a shot. That's an estrogen, Greg,
Barry doesn't have anything.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Barry has to paint the house that week.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
No, stop talking about Penny in the house. I'm not
doing that again if I don't have to.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Huh.
Speaker 12 (09:01):
I got a good ten more years before I have
to do that, and then I'll be.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Too painted it for four months.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Well, when you do it by yourself, it takes a
couple of months.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Huh. Okay.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
Anyway, Yeah, another place with uh uh Walt de Martini,
mister Gomez.
Speaker 6 (09:20):

The world's first radio show devoted to diving. I am Greg,
the dia master. CJ not in the studio with me
like he was not last week too. And I'm sure
it wasn't just a coincidence that the uh scuba buggler
that robbed that seafood restaurant on Disney property last week
is still on the lamb a coincidence that he didn't
(13:29):

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Dolphin species that lives us only in the Gulf.
Speaker 4 (15:45):

Speaker 6 (15:47):
There?
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Vinnie?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Well, they uh like they just live.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
In the golf.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
They had like five years ago, they had like two
hundred of them, and now they think are down to
the least ten.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Really, so they're rare dolphins that they have.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Yeah, and they're and then they're they're probably going to
go extinct. And by the end of this, you know,
they they they're estimating there is like maybe six to
ten left.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Why So for us, what happened to them?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Uh, it's you know, it didn't know what happens.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's something related to you know, they go, you know
how they fish with these nets and stuff, and I
think what's happening is they the nets.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
They get caught up in the nets.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Yeah, and no one's changing the nets because you know,
it costs money. It's kind of a combination of huh,
that's what's going on.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
But they just look like regular bottle nose spotted.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
They're they're they're unique. Could you could typekita and good?
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Do they have like black markings around their eyes and
like a shorter snout.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, like a raccoon.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
That's it's really hard to I just thought, since we're.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Going there, let's go find the dolphins.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
When I mentioned it to the to the captain of
the ship, he's gonna laugh at me.
Speaker 15 (17:08):
Going.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
Yeah, really, okay, we at least you know pause, which
is Spanish for the pause.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
Oh well, there's two lapause. There's Lapause Mexico and La
Pause Belivia. So which one you're going to me?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I'm pretty sure they're going to Mexico.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
They say you can go swimming with whale sharks. There's
a seed lion in colony there, and they said enjoy
delicious street food, especially the fish tacos.
Speaker 11 (17:35):
And there's a park that's about an hour away. It's
very similar to Fully Bully.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Okay, well that sounds like quite the adventure you got planned.
All right, So we got that on the books. That's next,
Well that's in November. But let's look at twenty twenty six.
What do you think of Britney?
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Okay, Costa Rica for sure?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Really? Why?
Speaker 11 (17:55):
Yeah, we're going to the jungle and we're going probably
deep sea fish and diving.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Huh. And that's just something you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
No, there's a bunch of a bunch of us that
that are going so staying like renting a big house
and then going and doing a bunch of different things.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, so that's one.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Another trip is going to be Air this year for sure,
I'm definitely going to go.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Okay, so and uh, Costa Rica, you want to go there,
but it sounds like it's not just diving. You want
to go for like the rainforest and all that kind
of adventure stuff. And then you want to go to
to do the jungle and maybe deep sea fishing. Yeah,
so but you probably runt a big house. Greg, Yeah,
(18:40):
I mean what yeah, what about that?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Jerry?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Uh Barry, would you guys want to go to Boner?
Shut up? I didn't.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I didn't say a word.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I didn't take a boat to the bone town.
Speaker 11 (18:57):
Everyone is invited to go to bon Air if they like, again,
I want to run a big house and then just
do a bunch of short having.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I'm even going, so Benny, maybe I'm busy.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I can't make it. Maybe not I thought I was going,
is he?
Speaker 16 (19:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (19:18):
That one?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
That Bonair trip is like anyone can go that wants
to go.
Speaker 11 (19:22):
Okay, some trips I do, anyone can go, and then
other trips I'm like, this is specific.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, it's not just for the ladies.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah something.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 10 (19:36):
And then also I want to go to Utila, Roatan
and Guanaha.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Wow, that's it Ganaha.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
It's one of the islands.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Yes, there's three bay islands in Honduras and uh it's
very difficult to get to that Guanaha, but we're.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Gonna have those. Yeah, yeah, Guanaha. I was actually scheduled
to go there years ago and then they had a hurricane.
I had to, uh plan to go somewhere else.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
Castle Rock.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No, No, it was before all that stuff, but the
Gwanaha used to be before this hurricane hit and wipe
the out out the area there for a year or two.
I was scheduled to go out there and we had
to pull back from that. But yeah, that's a great
place a certain time of year, whales, sharks are almost guaranteed.
And u Utilla, Guanahai and what was the other one,
(20:30):
row In, row In. You're gonna hit all three? All right,
that sounds like a good plan. All right, we're gonna
have to join the awkwad Gypsy. Sounds like to me.
We'll talk more about where we're going next on the

Excoosese ring for die.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba Radio. It's the world's first radio show
devoted to diving.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
Dive, dive, dive, being in there, It's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Okay, now, how do you know that? Because she's your lobster.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
It's a known fact that lobster's fall in love and
mate for life.
Speaker 16 (22:41):
You know what, You can actually see old lobster couples
walking around their tank, you know, holding calls at the bottom.
Speaker 17 (22:48):
Of the Yo Shunk Disiglom, Christaine Shank, he ain't go
nobody engaging comm Sat shunk arnand Beyana Montha and the scene.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
She said, I.
Speaker 17 (23:06):
Can't be friends with the loves the she loves massage
and you just love loves to. Then along came mo
We Sore and a boat made from shoes. She said, Hey,
mister lobster bow, We'll be.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Best friends with you.
Speaker 17 (23:24):
She said, hey, mister loves so, will your great big
claws simon little we's on, I've got little poll.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I will be your friend.
Speaker 17 (23:32):
I will hold your hand and me and you can

walk along the sand on the sand. Under stuffish consolation,
I'm your wisea pas my custition, under stufffish constellation, I'm
your weed soapine stage.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
You know, I don't know, is that's how you know,
like Baron Jerry refer to each other when they're diving together.
What you're my crustacean And I mean, you know whatever
kind of like pillow talk they have on dive trips.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Oh your god.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
You know he is the one that fondels fish, so
I wouldn't say too much.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Great, it's not a fondling. It's more of a dayling.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
But regardless, ejigles it, not fondles it.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Okay, that's enough. Brittany has a big plan that I
think the rest of us just follow. I mean, she
could be our leader when it comes to our schedule
for dives in twenty twenty six. She's got uh fun
air on the list, and I mean all kinds of stuff.
I mean, and some of this stuff is already booked.
(24:59):
Is that right? And when you decide to pick a destination,
is it is it because you just haven't been there before?
Are you looking to do something in particular or or
is it the people you're diving? Well, obviously it's not
the people you're diving with. I mean, because she you
know a lot of times if Annie joins.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Her, So I know the answer to that one.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, I'd like to hear your perspective.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
The answer is besides diving, why she's there.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
She might want to partake in some cultural things or
or some other inland land based tours where you can
see other things.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Okay, so she.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Gets a good feel for what the whole place is
like rather than just the water.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's not just the water or the
company that she keeps.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
It's like when we were in Galapagos and she said,
let's go. We we we had a blast. We saw
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
We wentling with.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
You really missed out that when you guys didn't go
with us.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Well yeah, well it was after a week long, understand but.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It was really uh, it was really cool to see
all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Oh yeah, of course, I mean it's a it's always
great going to the Galapago.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
So she likes to go to a place where not
only is they're diving, but there's potential other stuff that's
you could do.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah. Culture, Yeah, well, well.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Culture mostly cultural and other other land based you know,
other jungle you know, that would be cultural tourism.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
The same reason A lot of people like to go
to Amsterdam. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Why I've been there, but I don't know what the reason.
What was the reason?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Legal weed and whores?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh, I wish I knew that when I was there,
I missed out.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Well what did you see when you went to Amsterdam, Vinny?
Speaker 16 (26:45):
Oh, I got stories to tell, but not not go
to the Red Life district and look at I had
some experiences there, Yes, yes, what was the experience?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Just like I I arrived at Amsterdam at seven am
in the morning, and I am walking around with the map,
and and all of a sudden I realized, I think
I just saw a naked girl in the window.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And I look at all around me. There's girls standing
in the window in various.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Very said I said, well, I said, well, I guess
I'm here, And I folded up the map.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
But I cutie. Hey, I want to go out spend
any mone in the morning on a day huh.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okay, yeah, it was interesting.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Hey is that why you are your favorite red spandix short?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I guess so there you go.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Okay, no, there's favorite colors red.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
No. No, I was doing triathlons many years ago and
you wore type fitting clothing and that's the color I chose.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Well, it's not many years ago anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
So you're like, are you telling him not to do
that anymore? It's to stop during the spandex Yeah, David
Lee Roth huh yeah. All as you need is like
a cucumber or something. The god.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
Then you would put it in the back the role
of better Scotch life savers.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Okay, I don't know what this has to do with
going diving. There's not really any diving.
Speaker 9 (28:23):
I was trying to tie the culture into it. Example, Well,
there's no diving in Amsterdam. I don't know, but it
is the cultural extreme example.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yes, Well, you know, for me, a lot of a
lot of the draw to where I want to go
also depends on who I'm going with, you know, Like
I like taking people to places that I have been
and already have an idea of what to expect and
kind of sharing you know, uh, their dive you know
advanced you know dive sites and things that I'm already
(28:53):
familiar with. That's always fun to kind of I feel
like it's like a way to pay it forward to
front of guy. What a giver? What can I sit
us here for? Greg? Everybody? Thank you, thank you, thank
you nice?
Speaker 10 (29:06):
So what is on your list?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Greg?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Well, it'll probably depend on what happens at the DIMA
show here in November. I mean, there's been several places
that we've spoke to over the years about going back
to uh you laughing at yeah, what what's so funny? Jerry?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
We went to when me and you went over to
talk to the Philippines that day, and the guy that's
over the Philippines said, when you introduced me to he thought,
he said I And He's like yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
And then so we talked to him a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
And he said, you can come to Philippines, but you
had to bring him.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
He's kin to Elvis.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Okay, wow, all right, you won't remember that. No, I
blocked that out years ago. I doesn't remember anything, just
barely drinking.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Hey, you know, that's the advantage of getting old. You
forget stuff. So when I go to a place I've
been before, sometimes it feels brand new.
Speaker 10 (30:04):
Greig has the memory of Bennie.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, he's got which ones are going to be yet,
but he knows they're out there.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
That's true. I mean, you're right, Vinnie. I mean so
you'll have to tell.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Us where we've been the previous You have to answer
that when we asked where we went the past year.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yes, Greg, who had the top bunk you were, Vinnie?
Speaker 16 (30:27):
I did?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Why Why would that matter? Just curious?
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Okay, where do you plan on going?
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I actually really since I had a chance to be
on the Blue Manta, I highly reco I wish Greg had.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Put on a trip ready, I want to go.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, that's on the the White Manta.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
That is, when we're there, there's lots of lambit like
I saw Comodo dragons, many.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Big old Liz.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Maybe maybe we could do.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah, there's different Yeah, we can find out what the
schedule is.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I'd like to do one of those over the water
bungalows though, you know we saw those in the Maldives too,
but they have those in Raja on pot you know
where you have the bungalows over the water on stilts
and stuff. That's pretty standard kind of uh you know, uh,
hotels and stuff scattered throughout all the atolls and stuff.
(31:27):
I was like, that'd be that'd be kind of cool
to stay at a resort like that. I mean a
lot of the stuff when we're going around the world
like that. I'm on the liver boards, but I'd kind
of like to stay on one of those. You guys
game for that. Yeah, No, Brittany says no, and Vinnie's
still thinking we'll find out why next Stay close.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
He's the Worldwide Scuba Radio Network.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
SCOOSE would be.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Scooter would be red a ring for dive.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to
dive with Scuba Radio Medium, the world's first radio show
devoted to diving.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Dive, Dive, Dive.
Speaker 15 (32:30):
I heard a shot. I heard a shot radio radio
Renver speaking Aboutlex thing about in the scenes in the scene.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Now I know, no, I know it was the.
Speaker 15 (32:42):
Bird was the first show to vote too diving to dive.
He all is send the scuba radio and right super
radio everyone a suber radio. Me all this, send the
scoobub radio Scuober Radio SCOO Radio.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving.
I am Greg the dive Master. Okay, so on my
list for twenty twenty six has been I'd like to
go stay at one of these resorts where they they
have the bungalows out over the water on stilts and
there's like a cart that kind of goes in Fiji.
Maybe they have some in Fiji. Stated one in well
(33:29):
Go Okay bangor which one chorl Son had those Brendy Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We stayed one, Yeah, I mean that had them separate.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It was like every island in the Maldives a few
weeks ago when I was out there had had those
type of resorts and I was like, I love doing
live boards, It's my favorite type of diving to do.
But I've always thought it'd be kind of cool to
stay at one of those bungalows out over the water
after a day of diving. It just kind of hang
out and uh, you know, watched the watch the ocean
(34:02):
in the evening, you know, and just I mean some
of them are very expensive, but but you got those
raj on pot you have them, you know in uh
Maldive's Red Sea. I mean they're becoming more and more popular,
so that that's something I kind of would check off
the list. Brittany, you said you don't like that idea
or no.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Yeah, I feel like when we stayed in them in Fiji,
they were just a little overrated.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I think it's more for tourists. You know, I'm not
a typical tourist. So it was very buggy.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Yeah, there was a lot of bugs. Yeah, yeah, but
you were you were in one of those bungalows over.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
The word, had a patio with the water. We had
a kayak. We can go kayak somewhere, but it.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You know, it was it was it like a high
end that was a coral sun you did that. Those
were pretty nice, right, but it was just a little buggy.
Speaker 11 (34:51):
Nice but yeah, it was kind of remember that time
when we stayed at Ocean Point and we went way out.
Speaker 10 (34:58):
It was like me and Kristen and went way out
in that gazebo, right, and it was so bad with
the mosquitoes.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, I mean it probably just depends
on the time of you know, time of year and
if there's a breeze or not. Though too the bungalows
have working toilets. Yes, yeah, it's called the back door, right. Yeah, No, Greg,
you don't deficicate right into the ocean. I don't know,
(35:29):
did they. It really depends on the place your stand.
I think sometimes a fish like that stuff.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
Yeah, it was nice doing it, but who doesn't want
to dive an untreated sewage?
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yes, I liked it a lot there, but I liked
Banga better.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Yeah, you just okay. Well, Fiji in general, you can't
go wrong in that part of the world. I think
it doesn't matter where you go in Fiji, you're gonna
have an amazing dive adventure. And I've been there several times,
but I go back there and heartbeat for sure. But
there's a there are a bunch of places I'd like
to go that I have not been. There's there're just
(36:06):
a handful, and then there's a bunch that I'd like
to go back that I haven't been to in a
long time, even if something as close by as the
Cayman Islands. Like I said, I've been there in a
long long time, and I'd like to kind of go
back there and revisit that and the other one. I
think we need to go to the Pacific, well, Indonesia,
that and Rajan pot obviously that's Pacific diving.
Speaker 7 (36:29):
Hawaii, Palal and maybe go to Australia and go back there.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Well, I'm doing Australia and New Zealand next year. I
already have diving. No, I might. I'm making plans to
at least go snorkel the grape area of Reef. But
it looks here's the thing, it looks like I'm actually
going to be I potentially may go to Australia twice
in twenty twenty six. How about that sucking loser front.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
With the jet lag I hope.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
So hey, look, I've as already done the longest flight
in the world, so anything less than twenty hours cakewalk,
which was what what do you The longest flight in
the world was JFK to Singapore nineteen hours.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
Think about this though, at your advanced stage, do you
really want to waste precious hours in the air.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Yes, they do. They go forever when you don't know
they're not. Yeah, you get them back by flying into
the future now you don't. Yeah, that's what happens when
you cross the international dayline like that. Not biologically yeah,
oh yeah, you don't know because you've never been cock Johnson. Sorry,
but I've been to Fiji back and that was the
(37:44):
same deal at the time. No, it is not the
hell out of me. Nah, Fiji's like eleven hours, ten
hours thereabouts. There was more than that.
Speaker 10 (37:53):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
But uh but when you do the longest flight in
the world and you lived to tell about it and
it really wasn't that bad, I'm like, yeah, I can
fly anywhere now I know how to work this system. Yeah,
and you won't dive. I'll take bets right now. No,
here's the thing. No, it's my first trip is scheduled
for February of twenty twenty six to Australia, and we
(38:21):
haven't decided if we're actually gonna book a dive scuba dive,
but we're definitely doing some store now. No, we're doing
some snorkeling on the Grape Berrier Reef.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
That'll be summertime down there, so you have to get
as an excuse.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Oh then what what excuse? What's wrong with snorkeling?
Speaker 16 (38:41):
No?
Speaker 12 (38:41):
No, no, because when you went up to Antarctica, no,
to the Arctic or whatever it was, or when you
went to Norway, whatever, you didn't go in the water
because it was too cold.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Right, I'm going in the water. I just said, I'm
gonna at the bare minimum. We're definitely snorkeling the grape
Barrier reef. But you diving well because I may not
have a dive buddy with me on this one.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
Who cares?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Yeah, well, you mean go solo and he's got the
instant buddy, you can find somebody sol certified. No, I
am not solo certified.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Actually, I would like to get solo.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Okay, Greg, I'll go with you. Wrong, Okay, I'll go
and dive buddy. I'll suck it up. If you need
to dive buddy, I'll go dive with Barry.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Can't say that, you son of a bitch. Barry struck
a nerve. Yes, but no. The thing is is that
I I I'm going with a bunch of people that
aren't necessarily certified to dive. I don't want to leave
them in a lurch. I'll just take them.
Speaker 10 (39:48):
You're an instructor, teach them.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
No, I'm going to Australia. You know it's Snorkeling is
just as good as diving, depends on where you go.
Speaker 7 (39:57):
But Greg, I'm sure that they will appreciate you leaving them.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yeah, who do you think I am? Vinnie? Two tanks?
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Come on now, Jerry, how dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Brothers?
Speaker 4 (40:13):
What did I do?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Now?
Speaker 9 (40:14):
I don't know, Vinnie, you're good man, just nod and
say yes, okay, Greg, Brittany's not impressed with what with
your snorkeling?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah, well I look disappointed her. Yeah, well that's what
I do.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
I mean, you will women see him like that?
Speaker 10 (40:36):
That's what I was thinking. I didn't know that there
was a Snorkel museum.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Greg. Maybe you'll make it into that.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
Yeah, I was good, britt hilarious Greg in the International
Snorkel Museum.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
You guys, forget that. I've I've already uh, I've already
needed to.
Speaker 9 (40:55):
Get a got the gift shop in Australia and get
a T shirt and bring back a tea here.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
That says I can't.
Speaker 9 (41:01):
Flew all the way to Australia flew a huge opportunity.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
No, that's not what I will do. And I dove
there before. Yeah, but I dove the Great Barrier Reef before,
so I you know, I mean, but look, I'm planning
to go there twice. The first time, I think it's
gonna be snorkeling, but the second time is going to
be a real dive adventure.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
What time of the year will be the second time?
Speaker 4 (41:27):
When when are you busy?
Speaker 3 (41:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (41:29):
No, no, the ear will be the second time when you're.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Busy and you're not allowed to travel. I got that, Joe, Yeah,
that's every day December. Greg, he called it a joke.
That's weird.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Okay, on that disturb me. Now we're gonna wrap it
up till next time. Remember, it's always better where safe
dive and everyone so capting around to Jock dudstoo, y'all is.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (42:58):
They're not necessarily those of any station or network, it's
management or advertisers. Scuba diving does involve risk. It should
never be conducted without proper instruction and training.

I could die? Have any questions or comments, feel free
