you wouldn’t be right to think that I earned a single penny from introducing and guiding divers Mr. #503. even when living with one foot in the gutter for two years, i never accected a dime ... like those who dove and taught before me, my only rewards from them (besides reliving our dive stories, and remembering their sense for finding new meanings from life) is that outside of my ex-wife, I have their lifetime friendships.
I taught more then several on how to dive, and i continue to lead less experienced divers on just about every excursion i take when i show up without a dive buddy. ...
My DM is not and was never for providing a service!!!! my DM (when younger) meant that I was physically capable to meet challenges that todays DM’s and instructors will never understand today, or would ever find the physical ability to attain.. ... my "passion" to show others occurred well before they made it a monopoly to be "certified", and before one learnt of the BC. .........
