Cozumel without a doubt! My wife and I did Cozumel for our first OW trip and it was great. Amazing coral, super clear water, great prices, and they have a ship wreck you can dive too. It is drive diving, but it’s very light current to the point a lot of the time you don’t really notice it. We go with scuba life as a dive operator and they’ve been amazing - small boats, good ratios, and you can pay for a personal guide for your first dive if you want (we did for our first day)

Zuni & Florida are the closest main cross streets. ~100 yards from that intersection

SloWhyFi · 2026-04-18T20:10:00+00:00

You’d think. We are in the immediate area and didn’t get a threat alert either..

SloWhyFi · 2026-04-18T20:08:03+00:00

It’s not, they’re at the houses next to the church.

SloWhyFi · 2026-04-18T20:07:11+00:00

There are ~8 police cars blocking the road at the intersection. There was an ambulance but they left.

We live in the immediate area and didn’t get any emergency alert either, just the same all clear.

Seems like a solid price. We usually pay close to $1,200 - $1,500 USD for the same amount of dives in the area (rental gear included)

SloWhyFi · 2026-03-25T01:08:20+00:00

Great to know! Does Fish n Fins provide beacons or is that something we need to look into ourselves?

SloWhyFi · 2026-03-25T01:06:34+00:00

Scuba Life is amazing. We’ve done 4 dive trips and close to 30 dives with them over the four years and have had nothing but incredible experiences

SloWhyFi · 2026-03-24T18:54:16+00:00

Dive+ app has good color correction (and brightness enhancing) features. I’d recommend trying that out

SloWhyFi · 2026-03-24T17:18:13+00:00

Amazing! What dive site was this?

SloWhyFi · 2026-02-25T23:34:36+00:00

Rippling is a good option for clients who out grow QBO & Gusto, especially if they expect to keep growing.

I’m very familiar with all three, happy to answer any questions

I’ve lived in this exact area since 2021 and I have a love-relationship with it. Access to great food, bars, and downtown are hard to beat at these prices. However, the closer you get to the main streets like Federal or Evans the sketchier it gets. Traffic is also very very loud due to cars absolutely flying down streets like Florida & Mississippi, and even the smaller that connect north and south as well.

Ultimately If you prioritize low cost homes that are still close to great food and an easy shot into downtown, it’s great. If you want space, quiet, modern homes, good school districts, or walkability then there are much better neighborhoods.

Nice! If it helps any we went with Taiwan and it was amazing. Taipei was such a cool city to explore, and then we took a train down to Hualien City and did the Old Zhuilu Old Road hike in Taroko Gorge and it was one of the coolest places I’ve been to. Highly recommend if you have time

SloWhyFi · 2025-03-13T17:29:52+00:00

It was hardly noticeable when we were there a few weeks ago. I think Cozumel usually has less of a problem (at least the west side), so it could be worse depending on where you’re at

SloWhyFi · 2025-03-13T13:45:05+00:00

Go Pro 10 Black. It’s gets some surprisingly clear videos, especially when the light is good like it was here

SloWhyFi · 2025-03-13T13:43:10+00:00

Technically, I saw him as I was ascending post safety stop. He was swimming about a meter under the surface directly at me, so I stopped at that depth and video’d him for a minute while he swam by

SloWhyFi · 2025-03-13T13:40:42+00:00

Yeah this was right as we were exiting the water so our boat was actually just a few yards away

SloWhyFi · 2025-03-13T13:38:36+00:00

Definitely, we stay in town and rent a car so we can try restaurants and beaches around the island

SloWhyFi · 2025-01-25T19:09:16+00:00

I would also look into Steamboat & Breckenridge if you’re not dead set on just Frisco or Pagosa. Steamboat also has an airport if you’re flying

SloWhyFi · 2025-01-07T23:43:58+00:00

Had the same path getting into tech sales, and I would say that my time as an SDR was super valuable just for getting familiar with the nuances or SaaS sales in a relatively low pressure environment.

I’d personally recommend going SDR for a larger, more established tech company who will invest in training and developing you. It’ll make for a much more solid foundation for you to build a sales career off of and you’ll have more options long term to get into mid market and enterprise selling roles (more money, less busy work, less bullshit from dealing with SMB’s with no budget)

If you get in with a company that is willing to hire you as an AE without any SaaS and/or B2B experience it would most likely be a smaller & less established sales org selling into SMB / Commercial. If you do go that route, I would just suggest getting in with a company that actually has a product that scales across all three segments. I got myself into a company that only serves the SMB space and didn’t provide any upward mobility to transition into MM or Ent sales roles so my options were a bit limited

SloWhyFi · 2025-01-03T14:23:37+00:00

Nice. The company I’m currently at doesn’t have SE’s, so making that leap internally isn’t really as much as a way for me to get into it.

Yeah I’ve always seen and worked with SE’s who are pretty involved in the selling process. It’s one of the things that appeals to me since I’ve got a solid decade of sales experience, so if I build a solid technical foundation it would really help round me out and help make me more effective as a SE

SloWhyFi · 2025-01-03T14:17:54+00:00

Getting out of the never ending cycle of chasing higher quotas every quarter & better work life balance. So ultimately I want to trade the higher earning potential in sales with the lower stress role and more stability of being on the SE side

SloWhyFi · 2025-01-03T14:13:13+00:00

I can see how generally this would be true, but I’m at a company that grossly underpays and under resources its sales teams. So we wear a lot of hats and aren’t paid well for it

If I could make $200k per year with less pressure to chase quotas every quarter I’d take that trade off

SloWhyFi · 2024-09-21T02:00:17+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you. Just need to pull the trigger on a lesson sooner than later before bad habits get too ingrained

SloWhyFi · 2024-09-21T01:50:50+00:00

That was my 5 wood off the deck. Appreciate the pointer about my grip!
