What a great day on the water today. Started out rough but by the end of the second dive the ocean was finally laying down.

Looks like tonight is going to be a Veterans Day dinner by myself and it’s going to be fresh caught lobster and a ribeye steak.

It was great to get back in the water today after the storm had passed.

Had two great morning dives on Pirates Obsession this morning. I call it rediscover scuba by my self

Also had a great time diving with Raven again. It’s awesome to see how far she has come from when she first got certified

Morning trip today. Trickle south/south east current. 80 degrees and less than 15 foot of visibility.

Who cares I was still blowing bubbles.

Another great day diving with my brother, Emily, and Raven.

I have struggled with this decision for about 2 weeks. As some of you know I was contacted by 3 different dive operations all the the same week. One of them I have crewed on the boat several times. One is a new store and already established boat but only a “6 Pack” and the last is a well established store and a very nice dive boat.

I have spent the last 3 weeks helping with the setup of the new store and their fill station. I was treated well but one person and I are not a good mix. My opinion was meet with resistance every time. It had the same feeling at another store I worked in and I was miserable. I’m thankful for the opportunity but I just wasn’t fitting in. I genuinely felt bad letting them know I was going to pursue a different path.

If I have learned anything, I have to due what’s best for ME. Not others anymore. I have to put myself first which is a new concept for me.

I talked to a lot of people, including former employees and several of my former customers from PBS. They all liked and told me they would be on that boat more if I was on it. Only 1 told me it was a bad idea. I reflected on my past and all the times people said that will be a difficult supervisor or boss. I have got along with them great.

Well I made my decision yesterday.

Starting on Saturday I will be with Scuba Works. I’m looking forward to always being on a boat and teaching again. I know the captains and don’t foresee any problem. I have found my new home.

Who’s up to dive on Aqua Hunter Friday and or Saturday. It’s a six pack boat.

I’m guiding on that boat all weekend

There is a new scuba store opening in Lake Park next to Florida Freedivers.

I know they are still looking for folks to work retail and/or tank fillers.

If you’re already in the scuba industry or want to learn let me know or contact Todd.

Final 2 open water dives and 3 new open water divers. Congratulations to Catherine, Josh, and Draven. Josh and Catherine also completed their Full Face Mask certification. Got to see a Nurse Shark, Lemon Shark, Loggerhead Turtle, and lots of different fish.

Thanks to the crew of Walker's Dive Charters. Your crew is great.

Real happy with my Oceanic+ Dive Housing. The pictures are a great improvement.
