In this episode of The Dive Locker Podcast you will hear about new happenings in Aggressor Adventures and Professional Scuba Inspectors.
Welcome To The Show!
Welcome to the dive locker podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.
Today we have two great guests. First up is Wayne Brown CEO of Aggressor Adventures. Wayne purchased Aggressor Fleet in 2007 and co-founder Wayne Hasson became president. A few episodes ago we did a tribute to Wayne Hasson as he recently died of cancer. But Wayne Brown has done remarkable things with Aggressor- and its not only liveaboards they have Nile river cruises and African safaris, thus the name Aggressor Adventures.
Our second guest is Mark Gresham President and CEO of Professional Scuba Inspectors, Inc./Professional Cylinder Inspectors, Inc. they are the diving industry’s foremost authority on scuba cylinder safety. If you also listen to my other podcast the League of Extraordinary Divers, I had the founder of PSI Bill High on in episode 25 that was fascinating to hear how PSI started by Bill hearing about a cylinder explosion on a dive boat – not at a dive shop at fill station but on a dive boat! And Mark has taken this company to new heights as they are teaching dive professionals around the world about how to fill, use and inspected scuba cylinders safely.
I wanted to do check-ins with both of these companies because if you are in the dive industry you need to know these two companies. First, you should do a liveaboard – go for fun or lead group travel on one. It is one of the best diving experiences out there as you can do up to 4-5 scuba dives in a day! If you’re a pro you need to be experienced with livaboards.
And scuba diving is based around this major piece of equipment , the scuba cylinder. This is actually a hazardous material. It has to be treated with safety and respect. Since your job deals with cylinders everyday, you need to be at minimum a fill station operator and for some you should be a cylinder inspector.
