Humm. Well I fit this thread very well. I got into diving just for something to do with the wife. (I fell in love with it and she didn't). Went all the way to MSD and then went back and picked up DM 10 years ago. It was great back then, stationed in Okinawa, best friend the instructor, got to dive for free, love teaching, free gas and then most instructors would pay you. There were so many students that the instructor had to have a solid DM. Now living inland NC. Started to go the instructor path but everytime a shop offers me a deal the shop winds up going out of business. So here I am DM (PADI and SDI) and I help on dives (mainly tech stuff like advance nitrox, decompression, etc.) I really don't have the desire to assist too much. (Pissed in wetsuits, humping tanks, cleaning regs. etc. for no pay). I dive for me and am very happy with that.
