I had way too much fun asking these renowned professional divers their opinions on some of those hot-button scuba diving topics.Everyone was such a sport about this and went for it, even when they knew these were controversial in some circles. It's also funny how different some of these opinions can vary from one diver to the next.This took place at the 2025 Scuba Show in Long Beach, CA out on the showroom floor.The Questions:Is it OK to pee in your wetsuit?What is the scariest animal for a scuba diver to encounter underwater? Triggerfish has been removed as an option since it is obviousWhat was the most beneficial scuba course taken, after completing their Open Water scuba certification?Should Scuba Certification have some kind of expiration date?Jacket style BC, Back Inflate BC, or Backplate and Wing?How do you keep your dive mask from fogging up?What one thing should be in every scuba diver's save-a-dive kit?Do divers prefer clear mask skirts or opaque (black or solid color)?Guests answering these questions include:Sarah Miller (Azul Unlimited)Steve Jamroz of Divers Alert Network / D.A.N.Dan Orr, Hall of Famer and renowned legend in diving.Greg Holt, host of Scuba RadioMyles Schwartz, host of Free Descent PodcastJared Berg, owner and founder of NEX Underwater ProductsAlexis Jabbour, founder and CEO of Buddy App and Book with BuddyBrian Benton, owner of Dive OahuEd Rasmussen, NAVY SEAL and Scubapro repMorgan Oughton and RJ, founders of Spacefish ArmyTherese Napier of Amoray Dive Resort in Key Largo, FLJason Leggatt, CEO of Shearwater Research.Cliff Richardson, who was Director of NAUI, but is not the CEO of Divers Alert Network (DAN)And Red Sullivan, who wanted to be there but couldn't make it.Special thanks to everyone who answered these questions, and the staff and crew of Scuba Show for your continued support!–Kenny Dyal is the host of The Scuba Diving Podcast:www.sweetwaterscuba.com
