So I am now working two jobs possibly starting a third in the next couple days. I don’t have to pay rent, car, or insurance...no bills at all. My flight to Thailand will be paid in full and won’t have to pay rent or college tuition when I move there.
Why the fuck am I working my ass off you ask?
I’m going to be taking SCUBA classes all the way up to Dive Master soon. Since my first dive I’ve always wanted to make a career out of it...if you haven’t tried it, go. It’s an amazing unique feeling I imagine you couldn’t obtain anywhere but space.
But yeah anyways I’m taking them so that when I go to T-land I don’t have to fuck with gay jobs that literally pay $200 or so a month. I’m going to be an instructor eventually =D.
So do any of you RE ppl dive?
Are any of you working your ass off for some ambition of yours?

Nope, never done it. Can’t say it’s something that really appeals to me to be honest, not really my thing. I aint dissing it though, everybody has their own... thingimajig. Passion or w/e.
Glad you’re going to be doing something you enjoy, good for you dude.

What certification do you have Alle?
Coopz you should at least try it.
I know your thing is wrecking mopeds, but diving is almost as cool.

Moving to thailand eh? Not for me. Heard drug laws over there are fucking tight as.
If I could move anywhere it’d be the Dam.
:D

Well lucky for me I can quit anytime I want lol. No seriously though. You are right however...they are really serious about drugs over there. Luckily smoking pot was my thing when I was 15...I’m not worried about drug laws.
btw I JUST found out that I already have a job waiting for me over there, teaching English. Nothing established of course, just something to put some extra Baht in my pocket.

Oh and I’m not sure what the weather is wherever you are in Aussie, but I’m used to the heat. Amsterdam is too chilly for me.

Yeah tis quite chilly down there. But being down the south cost of Australia, I’m more or less used to it.

Fuck, I’m in Minnesota. It got up to a scorching 15* today. That’s Fahrenheit.
I’ve always thought diving in the Caribbean would be fun, going to find Nemo and shit. But, always wondered what would happen if a great white happened to be hungry as we waltzed by him?

yeah, it would be a good experience to try it. I think it would be pretty cool to dive with sharks, or dive down to some sunken wreck. (is sunken a word? lol)
Or even just diving in among some corall reefs with all the brightly coloured fishes floating around, that’s be cool.
I’d want to do it abroad though, not in britain. The water here is too cold/grey/dirty/no fun sealife to see.
And whats that about mopeds? Bah! My bike was the official sportsbike of the year for 2 years running! And only came 2nd or 3rd the year after that! And is still considered the best race bike you can get. Was good for about 180mph. Now that was my passion!

Smurf, that’s why you take a dive buddy...you don’t need to outswim the shark.
You won’t see a white in warm waters anyways so no worries.
Coopz I’m tellin ya man, it’s something you can’t skip out on in life.
Pure Narcotic is that a sling? Well anyways, if you did happen to kill that shark, where are the pics of it on board?

That’s why I haven’t went. I take comfort knowing I’m around whites.

I just assumed he was implying that the drug laws are extremely harsh...which they are.

I think it was a racist joke......
Yeah, I guess I should add it to my list of "stuff to do before I die"
I suppose you never know till you try it, I might find it really addictive!

it is really nice underwater, the weightlessness and the slow movements are very calming

No, but I always thought it would be cool. If I join the Marine Bio club next year we go on a lot of diving trips.
So, did you have to learn (I guess, I don’t know Thailands language) Thai?
