Alright, my folks have a house + boat in Pensacola, FL and my pops wants to take us out on his boat but is reluctant to let us dive alone as is my dive buddy a little, never been on a dive without other people in our posse.
So, a local LDS was just kind enough (Dive Pro) to put on their bulletin board my name and number and that I am looking for a experienced diver familiar with the area to partner with.
My question at this point is concerning compensation for this arrangement. The plan is to take him on a 2 tank dive less than 1 hour boat ride from my folks dock/house. He/she would just come over, hop on the boat and just basically comfort my parents by being there, he/she might formulate a dive plan with us, go over it in the prescnece of my dad, talk it through, just be there basically.
They could bring a diving buddy or not and get a day of diving.
Im thinking maybe the pay would be the boat ride and I could pick up some tanks and have them on the boat for them. Do you think that is adequate or would it be insulting not to pay them? I figure free diving and free air would be a mutually beneficial relationship for a few dives. Maybe we would become friends and do soem wrecks in the future, etc... Waddaya think?
