    If you are doing what you love and if it is not work but enjoyment every day all day long I think it would be worth it to have a business that you really love. I have owned several businesses through my lifetime and all I can say is, when I went to sleep at night it was on my mind and when I woke up in the morning it was the first thing I thought about.. I even dreamed about it and was working in my dreams.. it stayed on my mind all day everyday.. it even stayed on my mind for a while after I sold it.. I wish you and your crew lots of good times and lots of happiness and good health👍👍😎🤗🍺🍻👙😁..ps.. see you all soon and after I arrive my fiance and myself will be talking to you and your crew about taking a beginner's course👍👍

    If you're loving what you're doing and gives you joy/fulfillment, then all the effort/time/money are worth it. Just go go go and live your dream! Thanks for the video. Happy Sunday!

    Harness/backplate BCDs are the only way to go, and side mount would only be worth it if I was to become a cave diver, which I have no interest in, though I love the deep cenotes in Mexico(you want to talk about - cold water!🥶😄). Cool to see the house shore diving, I'm pretty lucky to have a shore diving reef where I live, no boat needed just your leg power.

    You have a good bunch of people there Justin. Great to see the young ones keeping it interesting, and inspiring other young ones to get into diving. Well done

    Will travel to PI end of this year, visiting family, but will take a week to dive. Do you rent cameras? My old equipment is obsolete and it doesn't make sense to buy new because I don't dive as much anymore. I used my GoPro in Coron last year, was fine, but GoPros don't do critters.

    Not bad . . . but less camera time and more work

      I don't know ow if you need paying attention, but camera time IS work bud

    I cant no for the life of me understand why people would take some courses, E.G. Night diveing ( do you take a training corse in drive your moto or auto at night, or take a class on hiking with a flashlight.) also do not understand paying to take a course on DPV or underwater scouter

    • @CritterHunter
      @CritterHunter  3 месяца назад +2

      You comparing diving at night to 40m depth to walking with a flashlight, tells me you'd benefit quite a bit with continued education. And dpv? Are you serious? Our tech dpv can go to 200m, as well as ascend mich too fast, and many other things that will kill you. We do not allow diver to take our dpv out without a certification showing they are qualified to run one.

      @CritterHunter i dive the puget sound. Dont need solo diving courses, dont need flashlight courses, and definitely dont need courses on current mitigation.
      Not to say that there are vaild course to take. Come to the PNW and do some hicking in the high cascades then tell me if my comparisons of 80ft underwater is roughly the same as 7000ft in the high mountains .
      So again, some course just dont make sense at all

      Knowledge is power. Keep teaching.some people like yhe extra classes because it's fun and enlightening

    • @CritterHunter
      @CritterHunter  3 месяца назад +2

      @@Wa_Garden_Troll don't make sense to you maybe. I'm not going to sit here and argue about education, but there are plenty of new divers who have anxiety and want proper instruction.
