The Grey NATO – 196 – Why We Love Diving (And You Should Too!)
In honor of World Oceans Day, we’ve got a dive-themed episode in which Jason and James go deep (sorry) on why they love diving and how diving has enriched their lives. From the training to the gear, the amazing people you meet, and the chance at experiencing some of the planet’s most incredible animals. It’s a wonderful and flexible activity that’s also a chance to put your dive watches to good use!
From the get-go, the TGN boys are commiserating about proper headlights, vehicle wiring issues, and Jason’s review of Top Gun: Maverick. Be sure to stay in the mix for a Final Notes featuring a solid podcast recommendation and a heads up on the return of one of James’ favorite shows.

Great episode! As a divemaster and watch hobbyist I really enjoyed hearing you guys hammer home the same feelings of joy and excitement I have for both. I noticed no one else responded to your call for suggestions on underwater photographers to speak with, so I'd like to recommend one. Matthew Draper is an amazing UW photographer and huge watch enthusiast, he is certainly pushing the boundaries with custom-made underwater housings to suit his craft and he has an incredible watch collection to boot. I've been chatting with him a lot lately, mostly on the latter and I think he would be great on your show. Cheers
