What’s going on everyone? I’m not sure what my diver status was last time I was on but I am now a Dive master. I deck boats and help people learn to dive. It’s frickin awesome. Just today I literally saved two girls lives. They were caught by the rip current and were going underwater by the time I got to them but after ALLOT of effort I got them both in.
Then I went ahead on my dive and found and caught a small loggerhead sea turtle and a baby octopus.
Good times.

Yeah I live in panama city Florida
Being a Divemaster is my job. Taking ppl out on the boat
PL I’m not gonna be on again for a while but I check in from time to time.
Here are some pics of me and a 6 foot wide great southern sting ray. I got these while I was taking a few students out on a dive
I’m the one closest to it

Igloo I get $30 from the shop for each boat trip plus tips which usually averages $50-$60 so about 80 or 90 for 5 hour trips
EP yes I dive nothing but nitrox
DB it runs from $150-300 and it’s worth every penny
GMT they were only about 30 feet past the first sand bar maybe 60 feet out but it was a red flag, neither could swim, and even standing on the sand bar the rip current pulled you off your feet

yeah GMT i know... funny thing is as I was driving out there I was really hungry but i decided not to get lunch lucky for them... also I saw a dude broke down and was gonna stop to help him but decided not to....once again lucky for them.
Mantler get certified and see if you like it...if you’re comfortable in the water, work your way up and do what I’m gonna do
