No offense to him, but he doesn't look like he scuba dives. Or works out...

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Scuba diving is not an athletic sport. Air consumption is all about moving as little as possible once you're down there.

The most athletic part is if you're beach diving and have to swim out/back in from the shallows.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

So true, plus lugging your gear out to the shore. This is why I only do boat dives.

He also works out he said.

I am a scuba instructor and professional underwater photographer. I'm also obese.

Scuba is not a sport that makes one fit - especially as you get better at it and improve buoyancy skills to the point you aren't even having to swim most of the time. When I dive, I'm essentially just existing underwater, not even supporting my own body weight.

Based on 3rd hand accounts, he’s been steadily losing weight for years and while it was hard to find recent photos at a cursory glance, there are a few where he is noticably skinnier (also the article does mention he looks fitter in a conference call)

Watch the video, he looks like a completely different person

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

ahem... Dave th diver?

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago

Watch the video, it looks like he's lost a ton of weight

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No offense to you, but you sound stupid and not very smart either.
