Not so much that he's the owner, but the sole DM. You book with him, you dive with him.
Nothing against Jeremy - love him - BUT - this is not a true statement! Jeremy does not dive everyday and he has a few other DM's working for him. Yes, he dives A LOT - but he is not the sole DM.
I dove with Jeremy when he was a new DM working for the previous owner of Living Underwater. He was great then - I can only imagine how great he is to dive with now. I haven't dove with him in probably 12 years - those were the really good ole days
When I started my shop 11 years ago - I thought I would be the DM, the Instructor, the Administrator, etc. etc. - it really takes superwoman/man to be able to be THE everything in any business!
