490 - Diving After the Jab
What does DAN Europe advise for diving after you receive a Vaccination? Listen to what we found out.
We also have received word of an Ohio Drive Quarry that is changing ownership.
What? Where are the missing episodes? Don't worry. They are on their way. We have another significant format change coming in the next few weeks and wanted to get the current episode out before then.
-- there are a few sections where Mack's audio is a little clipping. We did clean it up as much as we could. It is still listenable, but does stutter and break a few times. The new format change should help address it or turn it into a big dumpster fire. Either way it could be entertaining. --

The boats are now operating at the edge of the protected marine reserve taking fish and sharks from the major migration route between Cocos and Malpelo, and the world is up in arms about it. The fleet of Chinese “ghost ships” were falsely reporting their location within New Zealand waters while they fished off the Galapagos Islands. Six of the fleet are transmitting false information via their Automatic Identification System transponders. The Ecuadorian Navy has deployed its limited fleet to protecting the reserve but with little hope of stopping the fishing and protecting the animals traveling past.

458 - Plastic Pandemic
A Plastic Pandemic. A glut of discarded single-use masks and gloves is washing up on shorelines and littering the seabed. Conservationists have warned that the coronavirus pandemic could spark a surge in ocean pollution -- adding to a glut of plastic waste that already threatens marine life -- after finding disposable masks floating like jellyfish and waterlogged latex gloves scattered across sea beds. Divers have found “Covid waste” -- dozens of gloves, masks, and bottles of hand sanitizer -- beneath the waves of the Mediterranean, mixed with the usual litter of disposable cups and aluminum cans. Wear a mask, but be careful with its disposal. 129 billion facemasks are disposed of every month. ( The Guardian/BBC)

401 - Deep Pool and Le Griffon Again
**Jaws Turns Up in Florida**
Sharks are the reason why many people won’t go in the water, but Amber and Tommy Allore, a couple of free-divers from Stuart, FL, were thrilled to get some photographs of a great white, a rare visitor to that stretch, while spearfishing with friends off Jupiter last month. They estimated the shark to be around 12 feet long. Meanwhile, Florida’s legislature is preparing a statewide ban on the practice of fishermen dumping fish guts in the ocean to lure sharks closer to beaches and, too often, to swimmers and ocean dippers.

396 - Underwater Harassment
### Shearwater Recalls Its Computer Transmitters
Over the years, some of our readers have expanded their skills from sport diving to technical diving, and if you’re a Shearwater computer user for the latter, this recall notice could be important .
You see, Shearwater computers can be gas-integrated with multiple tanks, using several transmitters on their firststages .
However, one of the transmitters is now subject to a voluntary recall .
Shearwater discovered that the yellow transmitters may have the same transmission interval as the one found on the gray transmitters . When the transmitters of both colors are used by the same diver on the same dive, signal interference could potentially occur and cause dropped signals . (Otherwise, the computers aren’t affected .)
If you’ve got a Shearwater computer, stop using the yellow tank transmitter and contact the manufacturer online at [shearwater.com/announcements voluntary-recall-notice-yellow-transmitters](http://)

**Another Cocos Tiger Shark Attack**
A lucky 30-year-old German male diver escaped intact after being attacked by a tiger shark near Manuelita Island, Isla del Cocos, Costa Rica on April 28. The animal bit into his tank and BC but he managed to free himself from his rig and swim to the surface while the shark ripped his gear to pieces as other divers look on. He was shaken but unhurt. Last November, an American, Rohina Bhandari, died after a tiger shark attacked her at the same location (Undercurrent January 2018). This is the sixth confirmed unprovoked shark attack in Costa Rican waters since records began.

337 - Almost Wasn't
The recording quality in the beginning of this episode is a little rough. We had to go to our backup recording as we lost power during the show. The high quality file didn't save so we had to splice together the audio from backup with the audio after power was restored. This also contributed to the delay as we thought we could recover the higher quality audio. The attempt at perfection didn't work for us this time and we apologize for the delay.
