UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #91 – Jeff Carcast – Teaching Teaching, Not Teaching the Thing

June 27, 2024 22:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

There is much to unpack around how we run out instructor development program, how we train our instructor trainers, and how all that benefits the Unified Team Diving students and coaching clients. Back in the car, Jeff takes a look at the mechanics of teaching teaching – education as a change in behavior, that change being worthless without retention, how we use levels of learning, and how we create common ground with our students. Grateful to Socrates for allowing us to take his principles...

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #88 – Jeff Carcast – Free Has No Value

June 03, 2024 00:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MB

One of the great things about me and Unified Team Diving is that I get to set the company culture around money, finances, student fees, all of it. I feel very strongly that financial transparency is critical to the health of any business. I also believe "free" does not serve anyone – us or you. Basically, I believe free has no value. In this short carcast I expand on my vision around UTD and money. Questions? Comments? Contact me here: https://utdscubadiving.com/contact/ Jeff

Unified Team Diving Podcast #86 – Jeff's Carcast – Why I Am Still So Stoked About UTD

April 15, 2024 16:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MB

A non-car carcast. This time I woke up ready to talk about why Unified Team Diving is so important to me but I did not have any place I needed to drive, so I recorded a non-car carcast. Why do we keep doing what we do? How do I grow as a coach and instructor as you grow as a diver or instructor? What makes me tick and, in turn, what makes UTD tick. Contact us here to ask me/us anything. https://utdscubadiving.com/contact/

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #85 – It Takes a Village – The Thinking Diver Part 1

March 20, 2024 17:00 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MB

Learning and advancing at anything does not need to be something you do alone. Really, it takes a village. You are at the center, then your instructor or coach, but then all the other people and organizations and facilities and friends and family that guide you to becoming the most successful diver-version of yourself. In this episode Jeff and Ben help you discover how to create your village. Questions? Comments? Contact us at https://utdscubadiving.com/contact/

March 04, 2024 15:00 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MB

In any business one of the most important things is knowing who your clients are. And equally important is to know who your clients are not. In this carcast, I take an honest look at who we are for and who we are not for. It's a complex discussion about a very simple concept. Are we for you?

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #83 – Jeff's Carcast on Style vs. Success

February 14, 2024 01:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MB

Is it success that's the most important thing in scuba diving? Or style? This is a discussion – actually a monologue I recorded in my car – on the issue of style vs. success or, in scuba diving, style vs. certification. Drawn from a phrase common in big wall rock climbing, style vs. success refers not to whether or not we reach our goal, but how we reach our goal. In this episode, after I apologize for the crappy audio quality, I look at style vs. success in our world of training the most s...

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #82 – Are You Solo Diving as an Instructor?

February 09, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

We are Unified TEAM Diving not, as we sometimes like to say, Unified 'Go-Run-Off-By-Yourself Diving.' But what about when you are instructing students? Are they part of your team? Can they help you? What are everyone's expectations when instructing? In this episode Jeff and Ben unpack this simple, yet not so simple question. Contact us any time at: https://utdscubadiving.com/contact/

UTD Scuba Diving Podcast #81 – Jeff's Carcast on Managing the Frustration of Setbacks

January 19, 2024 15:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MB

Setback happen. This is true for everything we are learning, particularly when moving to a higher level in any field. In scuba training, in Unified Team Diving, we have a thing called the "ebay dive." This is when you come out of the water after such a frustrating dive that you want to put all your gear on ebay, sell it, and take up another sport. How we deal with the frustration of setbacks in scuba also informs how we deal with setbacks in life. In this short carcast, Jeff takes a look at...

UTD Podcast #80 – Jeff's Carcast on Fulfilling Unfulfilled Dreams

January 08, 2024 16:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MB

In the late 70's or early 80's I had an opportunity to take on something that looked really cool to me but my situation at the time blocked it. I've kept that dream alive until this past weekend when I fulfilled an unfulfilled dream. What are your unfulfilled dreams? What are you missed opportunities – in scuba or in life? Do you have the chance to close the loop now? In this short episode I look at how I completed something I started almost 50 years ago. No regrets, just fun. Contact here...

August 25, 2023 17:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MB

UTD Podcast #69 – Jeff's Carcast on How to Get Really, Really Good at Something

May 05, 2023 16:00 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MB

Your "Path to Mastery" is a buzzword (or buzz-phrase) that's been around forever but, what does it really mean and how can you take your path to becoming great at one thing and apply it to becoming great at something else (like scuba)? In this carcast, recorded on an endless, rainy drive from San Diego to Las Vegas, I explore the path to becoming good at something, then how you can take the process of that path and apply it to something new.

UTD Podcast #68 – UTD's ISO Certification

April 17, 2023 17:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MB

In April this year UTD went through an audit with EUF, the European Underwater Federation and received certification that the UTD training systems are in compliance with ISO standards. ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, creates standards for many industries, including scuba training. However ISO does not certify or confirm that a company is operating with the scope of those standards. That's where the EUF comes in. EUF is a certification agency that certifies that scuba...

UTD Podcast #63 – Jeff is a Guest on The Big Scuba Podcast - Back to Basics

March 07, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

The Big Scuba Podcast, a show based in the UK and hosted by my new friends Ian and Gemma, explores all things scuba. They got interested in the UTD Scuba Coaching Program, so we started talking about that, but quickly moved to UTD's philosophy, teaching ethos, and history. For me, it was back to basics, forcing me to define, to people not familiar with UTD, why us – why choose us, what makes us different, where did coaching come from, and much, much more.

UTD Podcast #62 – The ADR - Annual Dive Review

February 15, 2023 20:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MB

Recurrent training is a thing in many, many industries. Flying is where recurrent training is the most obvious – pilots are required to complete various scheduled trainings to keep their certificates current and diving should be no different. Since our inception, UTD has always had a structured recurrent training program called the Annual Dive Review. This is modeled after flying's Biannual Flight Review, something that has been in place for pilots for decades. In this episode Jeff and Ben...

UTD Podcast #61 – Jeff's "Car-cast" on Choosing a Coach

February 05, 2023 01:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MB

Trying something new here...a "car-pod," or "pod-car," or "car podcast," or something.

Cat manages DAN's incident reporting system. Should scuba take a page from general aviation, an industry that has consistently published accident data and analysis?
