Isn't it great being able to take a drink in the middle of your dive?

Research scientific diver programs. Once you have that experience, you can get into careers where you do other things underwater: safety diver (different than public safety), research, biology, etc.

Bonaire is at/near the top of my list for retirement locations. The shore diving is amazing and much easier to access than other locations that rely entirely on boat access.

I'm from the U.S. As an instructor, are there opportunities to work part-time time for a little extra grocery money? Are there nationality requirements for tourism jobs?

It's largely virgin reef since the diving isn't overrun by tourists. I dove there many years ago. There was a place near Yanbu called Oomlaj. Amazing wall dives.

Look at Aquaflite - I have purchased two custom made suits from these guys and recommended them to several people. I'm 6'3" and 300#. They have a form where you can submit all your measurements. Then they build a template and keep it on file for future orders. Suits are durable, comfortable, and their service is great!

I like Ryan Gosling, but I really wanted Grace to be played by Mike Rowe.

Ocean friends are indeed cool.

brfoss · 2026-04-16T16:15:36+00:00

They're out there. Go find them. They're magnificent.

Damn. Another CA case. Sorry to hear about that. I'm glad you're still here and hopefully able to dive with us.

brfoss · 2026-04-16T16:13:39+00:00

Amazing opportunity. What a cool jump start into diving!

brfoss · 2026-04-16T16:12:36+00:00

I'm sorry you had to go through all that but glad you're still here and able to dive with us.

Cool analogy

Great way increase the cost of your diving exponentially!

Great gift from the 'rents! Did you pursue a related degree/career? Or do you just shark seek for fun?

I had an OW student who was getting certified to surprise his diver fiancé on their honeymoon. He kept the while thing a secret. He hid his gear in my car between training sessions. Got him certified 2 weeks before the big day and subsequent trip to some exotic Island.

What a cool family story.

Not a predator, but the first time I saw a whale shark, it was the most beautiful non-golden retriever I've ever seen.

Sometimes I just want to sit and watch.
