In this episode of The Dive Locker Podcast we just want to thank our listeners for being with us on our two year anniversary.
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.
Well, this week marks the two year anniversary of The Dive Locker Podcast. Wow, I am humbled. Why? Because the goal of this show has been to enhance the skills of diving professionals. And I thought there would be me an maybe a couple dozen others who found this helpful. I was wrong. We are right at 60,000 downloaded episodes – that is truly amazing considering this is a niche of a niche. Of outdoors category you got scuba podcasts, but we are actually for dive pro’s exclusively. So. I am absolutely blown away by the support you all have given this show over the last two years.

Future Episodes
So what’s next. We have done 105 episodes this is 106 and there are a lot more in the hopper. Now, I should mention that as I was reflecting on this show I notice that in iTunes this show starts at episode 6. Well in the beginning the first two or three episodes actually appeared in my other podcast The League of Extraordinary Divers! That was quite by mistake. But the thing is, I don’t know how to bring them over without completely altering this podcast and the episode sequence. So you can listen to them on The League of Extraordinary Divers Podcast. But I’m still missing episodes 4 and 5! As you can see I’m still learning. I’m such a novice even 2 years in.
So, back to the question, what’s next. First, there’s always new risk management stuff. We are going to tackle things that can be improved in our industry. Then there’s teaching, well there’s a buzz about kneeling, yep we will address training in neutral buoyancy. And we will be going heavy on diving business. I have partnered up with Jennifer Shaheen an absolute digital marketing guru. We are going to hit episodes to get you rocking and rolling in modern day digital marketing platforms.
Also coming up is DEMA Show in Las Vegas. I will be doing a couple episodes on this largest show in our industry. In fact I will be speaking at DEMA Show 2021 on line and in person at the show. And if your going to DEMA please connect with me so we can meet and say hi.
Oh and just a reminder Gareth Lock from episodes 43 & 101 will be hosting the first ever Human Factors in Diving Conference. The Human Factors in Diving Conference provides a unique opportunity to learn about the theoretical and practical applications of human factors in diving. It has a great lineup of speakers and it can be watched live or on recorded presentation. Please check that out at hf-in-diving-conference.com
And speaking of speakers I will be inviting some of the biggest pro’s in diving to share their wisdom and experiences with you.
