The Grey NATO – 329 – A Deep Dive With Brock Stevens & Chris Sohl

With Jason off on a special mission to Scotland, James is thrilled to have a pair of very special guests sit in for this episode, Brock Stevens and Chris Sohl. Brock is a Navy Diver, a member of Project Recover, a fresh Land Rover owner, and so much more. Chris, who you may remember from TGN 279, is an avid diver, the man behind Windup In A Lake (or a Bay), and the TGN Slack Crew’s first-ever moderator. The pair joins James for a chat about Brock’s time as a professional diver, his work with Project Recover, and his and Chris’ experience on a special dive in California for “Windup in a Bay”.

Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that underlines many of the above topics – oh, and bagpipes.
