Shark Attack in Abacos: Why Woody Gives DAN an A+ for Their Response!
https://youtu.be/7dHHdbmFa4I

DAN has reworked its processes for Abaco, Bahamas since Woody’s incident. They reached out to Woody and Gus to thank them for bringing the issues surrounding Woody’s previous Abaco DCS incident to the forefront. This effort helped DAN get an injured diver, who suffered a facial injury from an accidental shark bite while spear fishing, from the first call in Abaco to a U.S. hospital in under 7 hours. Hear the details as Woody is interviewed by Dr. Doug Ebersole about this incident and the processes DAN initiated to achieve this remarkable evacuation without any glitches.

Rick Stanton, the lead rescue diver during the Thai Cave Rescue was one of our 4 guest Speakers during the Dive Talk Meetup 2025. And although his talk won’t be available publicly, we did get to shoot some amazing footage with him the next day.

Can’t wait to show you what we did.

New video out tomorrow!

DIVE TALK

🎉 Attention Dive Talkers! 🎉

Get ready for an epic event that you won't want to miss! From Saturday, July 26th to Saturday, August 2nd in Roaton at the Dive Talk 2025 meet up, Woody Alpern will be “co-leading” a Dive Talk GO maintenance seminar with the legendary Mike Young. But here’s the kicker: Woody will be demonstrating maintenance on Gus’s unit (because he wants to "improve" his unit and make sure its “well taken care of”), while Mike will juggle the finer points of doing the maintenance on Woody's unit. Talk about a plot twist! 😂

We’ll announce the specific evening for this side-splitting workshop at the meetup, so stay tuned! If you own a Dive Talk GO, you’ll be doing the maintenance on your own unit with us guiding you step by step. But remember, Woody is the only one doing maintenance on a different unit—lucky Gus! And for some unkown reason, he's graciously allowing Mike to handle doing the maintainance on his (Woody’s) rebreather.

Even if you’re not the proud owner of a Dive Talk GO yet, everyone is welcome to come and learn from these two “expert(s)!” Mike is positively thrilled to have Woody “co-lead” this workshop, and Gus is just thankful Woody will be “taking gentle and precise care of” his precious unit.
Btw, this is the first Gus is hearing of this so think of this Gus as a “happy Father’s Day present” from Woody. I will even be bringing my tool kit (which consists of a screw driver which i think is the “phillips” kind).

There are still a few spots available for this epic meetup trip, where you can attend what should be an interesting “co-lead” maintenance session as well.

Sign up at:
site.corsizio.com/event/66fea986fe08ab230fec8910 (site.corsizio.com/event/66fea986fe08ab230fec8910)

Get ready for lots of learning! 🐠💦from these two “expert (s)”.

Were we talking about amphibians? Nope.

Were we talking about animals? Or nature? Nope.

Were we even talking this morning? Nope.

No “Good Morning”, No “how are you doing?”, just another random text Thursday from your favorite Dive Talk Co-Host 😅

Tune in to tomorrow’s episode of Dive Talk. It’s a wild one and it details our insane journey to get to Abaco and attempt to reach the ‘Glass Factory’ for the third time.

Will Woody finally lay eyes on the Glass Factory? Or will Abaco continue to fight to keep Woody from reaching it?

Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Skin Cancer Melanoma Awareness Message

As we approach Melanoma Awareness Month in May, I want to take this opportunity to highlight the urgent importance of skin cancer awareness, particularly melanoma, which poses a serious risk to our health. Skin cancer is deadly, and it’s crucial to remember that both children and adults are at risk. Take it from me, protect your skin!

I’ve been honored to be asked to be an advocate for this cause, and I urge everyone to take skin protection seriously. One essential way to guard against skin cancer is by wearing sunscreen. It’s vital to apply it generously and to reapply as directed on the bottle, especially after swimming or sweating. Making sunscreen a daily habit can significantly reduce your risk of melanoma.

For me, when my doctor says “no sun at all” (as my dermatologist sternly advises to me), it becomes not just a recommendation, but unfortunately for me, a matter of life and death. This has taught me to embrace alternative ways to enjoy the outdoors—like sporting my Dive Talk apparel! Always find the silver lining and make the most of every situation.

As we celebrate this beautiful season of renewal, happy Easter to all who are observing today! Enjoy your day, cherish every moment, and remember to prioritize your skin health. Together, let’s spread the message during Melanoma Awareness Month coming up in May and advocate for a future where skin cancer is prevented and treated effectively. Your skin deserves protection, so let’s take action today!
