Finished my DM Cert

[jpcpat]

A very exciting day. Finished up the remaining academics for my DM. I'm sending the paperwork in tomorrow.

Some people complain about "slave labor". I absolutely loved helping with classes. Being underwater when someone really gets it for the first time- priceless. I got to work with several great instructors and a bunch of divers from O/W through Rescue. Can say that of all of them, only 1 was a real problem. Wish I could find that ratio any other place in my life.

Funny thing is, I never set out to be a DM: I just kept having fun and this was a logical direction for something I really enjoy!!

Super! Congratulations! Keep that open, fun focused mind and pay no mind to the naysayers.. after a few years in the 'corporate professional' ranks they'll be dreaming of pro-dive stuff!
