Good Jibes #250: 2026 Scuba Show on Location W/ Host Ryan Foland, Part 2

This week’s host, Ryan Foland, joins us on location from the Scuba Show in Long Beach on May 30–31, to go behind the scenes at the diving event of the year.

In this Part 2, you’ll hear the unbelievable survival story of saturation diver Chris Lemons, what was going through his mind in what he thought were his final moments, and about a tiki bar with tiger sharks, a scuba cat, and Ryan finally finding the perfect skin-tight outfit for life on the water.

Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • Why Chris thinks he survived his extreme diving incident
  • The documentary Last Breath (2019) versus the 2025 Hollywood film, and how each portrays the story
  • Meeting Mark Evans, new co-owner of the Scuba Show
  • How local divers find shots no one else can
  • Beqa Lagoon Resort talks tiger-shark dives and marine conservation in Fiji
