Why all the attitude?

Hi,

I have been reading alot on this forum and was wondering why so many people have a negative attitude concerning commercial diving. I mean so many posts that discourage others into becoming a diver. I think if you really want something and its a passion that comes from your heart, you can make it happen like you want

I'm 33 and in the best shape of my life. I love the water but for some reason I need more than scuba diving and working underwater just seems awesome! I make good money with my office job but I dont like it. I would love working as and inland diver even If I only make half the salary im making now. I think diving is a lifestyle and my addiction to water, tools, gear, boats, science... have given me an urge to just do it!

I have been accepted into a school in Canada to go under 3 days of physical exams. We are 28 that applied and the school will take 12 of us for the 12 months commercial diving program.

What do you guys think? Am I living in wonderland?

Thanks!

Alex
