More than I probably should and a lot less than I will in April. After that it's going to be even more time in front of a screen editing 30 plus hours of underwater video.
I hope that means it's as fun as it sounds. Because it sounds like you're having to go on a scuba trip and that sounds amazing.
Editing 30 plus hours of it, not so much. But getting that information sounds really super fun.
Yeah. It's my favorite place. Love being under water. It's going to be my biggest trip to date with at least 15 days of diving and 3 weeks of total time in Cozumel.
I wandered into a shop a few months after my wife passed away and was certified a couple weeks later. I went on my first ocean dive a few months after that in Cozumel and then George Town Cayman Islands. A couple months after that I completed an Advanced Open Water Certification in Jamaica where my wife was from. My Rescue Certification was completed about a year after I got started and I want to become an instructor focusing on training teens and young adults who have survived childhood abuse.
My goal is to use my Youtube channel as a funding source so I can provide the training and basic gear for free after I cover my training to become an instructor and acquire everything I need. I'm also planning to donate my time to organizations that help other people who would also benefit from learning to dive.
Editing the video is mind numbing and monotonous but I have yet to find someone else who wants to do it. It's a lot more fun getting the footage but it had to be done to make things happen.
You have a really noble goal. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors, you're making the world a better place!
Thank you. I know exactly the toll that is paid by the survivors and how at peace I feel when diving so I figure sharing it with others can't be a bad thing. I just hope things pick up steam soon.
