Just had a GREAT DM (for the second time) here at Misool ! Great job Kiikii !!
He had the stuff ready before I even asked for it. Lots of help getting in and out of the boat, translating my exact needs for the boatmen that had less English than he, skilled assistance getting gear set up (new reg, new pony tank, repair second stage, etc.), good assistance with wife's ear issues, GREAT assistance when she got sick in the water on a night dive (called a second boat so we could go back early) helping prevent a very uncomfortable situation from becoming a disaster, helpful with last-minute changes, always ready to go diving if that's what we wanted to do, ... great at finding unusual things in the water (as well as the stuff we should be seeing but were distracted)...
And all of this with a SMILE and GREAT ATTITUDE. Maybe that's most important.
Oh yeah, the kid is 21. Learned English on his own. Sheesh. What a future awaits him. I can only hope our tip helps enable some of that. I'm pretty sure it will.
