Not really diving ‘for a living‘…. but it is giving me a LOT more dives than I would normally not be able to afford…. so kinda like diving for a living – because at this point for me – diving is living…………… It is now 19:00 hours (7:00pm for all you civilians out there) 😉 ….. I have now had ‘X‘ number of drinks…. 2 ‘Turkey breast sammiches’.. which tasted absolutely nothing like Turkey breast…. even when I loaded it up with Mayo and spicy mustard and a little Cajun seasoning…….. Really confusing to an alcohol soaked brain…… BUT – I now have ‘something’ solid in my belly and hopefully I will straighten out soon…….
I got my ole fat butt kicked today……. “shooting” the class of Dive Masters/Instructors being put through their paces today…… 3 dives today that kept me swimming my ‘brains’ out.. working to get that ‘perfect’ shot. I figure I got close to a combined total of almost 2 ½ hours under water today… factor in another hour+ bobbing on the surface and another 4+ hours of class room stuff. A long day for the old fat boy. If you under stand buoyancy and photography combined… you’ll truly understand what I went through today. A simpler approach…. I showed up at class [4 minutes away from our house] at 09:00 this morning and didn’t get back until shortly after 5:00 this evening………. My Bride was/is being amazingly patient as I spend more and more time with my current assignment. I am happy she is finding things to do that she enjoys while I am out bobbing about in the beautiful Caribbean Sea…………
After today – I have decided that if this – or any local dive shop – wants more of this type of documentation of a class of some sort – I am going to have to ask for more compensation. Between the hours I spend away from my Queen (even though I am diving)…. I have to also factor in 3+ hours of photo editing every day after all the dives….. but especially with the upgrade of camera – I like to think I’m worth it……. I haven’t even uploaded todays shots yet….. so not sure if you’ll see today’s pictures or some left over from other days.
I am now ‘off‘ for the next 4 days, but I think Island Daughter has some photography work she wants done on trail rides…… a whole new other dimension to capturing ‘the moment’ with a camera…… while driving an ATV one handed while trying to frame a shot…… but it’s a challenge…. I like it and it is apparently helping them out with their budding business……. busy, busy, busy — but – it helps keep us old farts out of trouble~~~~ 😉
