One Dive at a Time

In this combined episode, Rob takes listeners below the surface of Blue Lake — a geothermal spring straddling the Utah–Nevada desert — to explore a deeper metaphor for life. Once navigated freely by instinct, the lake is now filled with guideline ropes connecting every attraction. While they make diving easier, they also limit exploration — a powerful reflection of how people often live their live...

Over the past year, I noticed something shift. Friends I once counted on stopped showing up. Invitations went unanswered, and I found myself diving alone more often than not. At first, it stung—realizing that connections I thought were solid had faded. But in that silence, I discovered something powerful: quiet confidence. It wasn’t about proving anything to anyone else. It was about standing firm...

In this episode of One Dive at a Time , we dive into the power of progress. Too often, divers get caught up in speed—how quickly they can master buoyancy, nail a mask clear, or move on to advanced dives. But the truth is this: it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you don’t stop. I’ll share three key tips for building lasting dive skills: Consistency over intensity – small, regular pract...

We often treat intuition like it’s mystical or just gut-level guessing—but there’s real neuroscience behind it. In fact, researchers like Antonio Damasio have shown that intuition often comes from what’s called somatic markers —those gut feelings are your brain’s way of tapping into stored patterns from past experiences. Your body is basically saying, “Hey, we’ve been here before, and last time it...

There’s a saying: “A boat is just a hole in the water you pour money into.” I disagree. A boat, especially something as humble as a Jon boat with a 10-horsepower outboard, is more than that. It’s a floating lesson in grit. It’s a sanctuary. It’s a rite of passage Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I am loving my scooter and what it provides for my disabled divers-- but this is more about my adventure! Yesterday at Payette Lake was a game changer. I headed out there with one goal in mind—underwater searches for bottles and old artifacts that I’ve been hunting for a while. Normally, I’d be limited by how much ground I could cover manually, but this time, I brought the scooter with me, and it...

This is where I grew up in my diving career. New Jersey waters are known for being unpredictable and can often present difficult diving conditions, including strong currents, low visibility, and cold temperatures. These conditions make wreck diving off the coast of New Jersey more challenging, and divers who regularly dive these wrecks develop excellent technical skills. For experienced divers loo...
