What are the rest of us??? Chopped Liverscubadiver1302001:...looking forward to meeting some of you that work and dive at SSI [Scuba Sciences Inc.]
Remember line 2 of the Scuba Diver oath?
Me:I'm a Scuba Diver Because...
I BELIEVE the strength of our sport lies with the individual and that each person’s experience, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal diving opportunity for all, regardless of sex, age, philosophy, agency or shop affiliations
I BELIEVE in free enterprise and encouraging fair gear pricing and free air fills which will bring this sport opportunity, growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE dive shops must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE scuba diving must retain the principles that have made the sport largely unregulated while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE scuba divers value and should help preserve our world's oceans and lakes while working to extend environmental awareness and conservation education throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe by reciting this oath in a loud boasterous voice for all to hear in the nude before every dive is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into the positive and successful principles of scuba diving.
