Welcome to episode 18 of the Grey NATO, a loose discussion of travel, adventure, diving, gear, and most certainly watches.

I'm Jason Heaton.

And I'm James Stacy.

Today's topic is photography.

So cameras, lenses, underwater shooting, Instagram, GoPro, you name it.

Jason and I are fairly avid photographers

would have actually come at this hobby slash profession
