EP31: The Final Word on Helium Release Valves According to Jason Heaton

What makes a great dive watch? How much water resistance do you really need? How exactly does a helium release valve work and do I really need one? We all love dive watches, but these are the questions that we hear regularly, and who better to answer them than *actual* friend of the pod, none other than author, adventurer, and diver Jason Heaton? Indeed – grab your mask and fins, and settle in, this was a delightful interview with one of the nicest guys in the industry, and it leaves no stone unturned on just what makes dive watches — and the sport of scuba diving, so cool.
