I must admit that diving has been a profound and character building element in my life, the travel and life affecting experience has left little physical evidence more the intrinsic philosopical

Top ten reasons to become a commercial diver:

10 - The camaraderie.

9 - Getting to see and do what few people ever get to experience.

8 - Divers get to tell good stories to people who have no idea what we do.

7 - Divers get to fabricate even better stories to people who have no idea what we do.

6 - Summertime sun gives you an awesome safety gla**** raccoon-eyes tan.

5 - You can afford to party harder than average when you get back on the beach.

4 - Unlimited food & snacks in the galley!

3 - Sweet dive hat.

2 - You can justify buying a badass laptop for going offshore.

1 - You can pee while you work, and whenever you feel like it!!! (unless you're in a f*ing drysuit)

Well, back in 1972 I saw an add in Skindiver magazine for a diving school with the headline, " Adventure, World travel, High pay".

That worked for me then and is still working for me today, never looked back!
