Quit your job, Buy a ticket, Get a tan.... never go back!!!


I thought today would be a great day to start blogging. I would have started yesterday except the energetic atmosphere around the Coconut Tree Crew held me captive! (And after 1 beer my writing skills suffer horrendously!)

Yesterday I decided to join in on day 5 of the IDC. A morning in the classroom with the Risk Management and Market diving presentation was followed by a very amusing dive with simulated students. Once we got back from the dive Will continued to teach effective marketing strategy with practical application! 

Now, put yourself in Sundowners with a cold beer in your hand. How could your day get much better? Only with the contagious liveliness of twenty something PADI pros in matching t-shirts! And one very happy t-shirt clad dog (XXL size). 

All you have to do to see how amazing the dive shop is right now is look at the picture. And that’s only half the crew!! We were missing a few. 

The t-shirt summarizes the route of many PADI pros living on the island, myself and Will included and way too many of our friends to count! Although some of them have moved on, once you become a PADI pro it changes the direction you thought you life would take and opens up many doors!!
