When you organize a trip you are the travel agent, travel guide, sometimes interpretor/consolate, security officer, nurse maid, dive leader, dive guide, entertainment specialist, equipment tech, concierge, IT consultant, videographer, photographer etc etc. I chuckled when I read this post. I want to know when the "free" trip comes my way. Yup. I don't always pay for my room, and sometimes get free rentals from the resorts I book, but when you add up all the time and effort that goes into running a good and safe trip that eveyone enjoys, if you break even, it was a good trip. Just my input. If someone found out how to make money off of trips, please let me know what im doing wrong. ( BTW, scuba trips are always more fun in groups than alone)
