And this surprises you? Hard to admit mistakes when you don't make any. /sAll great things, but they didn't go over any of the mistakes leading up to the dive or during the dive.
Well... based off my experience with the last thread and being exiled I'm just trying to be as unbiased as possible.And this surprises you? Hard to admit mistakes when you don't make any. /s
yeah...I was kind of surprised at the lack of Gareth being Gareth.Well... based off my experience with the last thread and being exiled I'm just trying to be as unbiased as possible.
If I'm being honest I did not expect anything from them. The only reason why I listened is because Gareth was attached and I thought there would be more meat and potatoes with him on board.
Which kind of sucks because his perspective is usually fascinating.yeah...I was kind of surprised at the lack of Gareth being Gareth.
I understand all that. I said it in the last thread and was swiftly kicked out (still am).We're all aware of the concept of "don't bite the hand that feeds you", right?
There's the YT channel, classes, trips, swag, white label equipment reselling, and possibly some kind of training agency???
Theystolesignificantly borrowed another prominent online scuba content producer's content to make their own content without even linking to the source material. Once that was called out and corrected, the OG content producer started getting tons of traffic. Now, if you were that OG would you call that quasi-shady practice out publicly and get the content pulled, or quietly and keep the increased traffic flowing?
Not all DCS hits are deserved. Sometimes its just your turn.I watched the entire video. I am really surprised that nothing about the dive itself was brought up. Especially with Gareth Lock being the one going over things. His human factors goes into account of the hours, days, even weeks leading up to an accident. None of that was in this video. They zeroed in on what should one do when they get bent, how one should react, what the other team members should do etc. All great things, but they didn't go over any of the mistakes leading up to the dive or during the dive.
Could he have maybe not have gotten bent? I have no idea, but not talking about the dive itself at all really kind of left a lot to be desired and I was excited to see Gareth associated with it.
That's just my take, interested to see what others have to say.
