It’s huge!
I heard 55’ on some waves, the surfers are saying it’s too treacherous right now to even be in the water.
My son told me that this AM.
Even the "big wave" surfers are not going out.

But you get to hold it in your hands first. There is some value in that.Not free, the same as many other consumer dive shows these days, fewer
distributors/manufacturers. Mostly travel, training and trinkets. You can buy all that
online.
Free?
So I made it easy. If you requested a special diet, we charged an extra fee. Again, Vegans were easy, so they just got meals served to them. Vegetarians were $50, and Gluten free were $100. Kosher and vegan were allowed to bring their own chow if they preferred, and true vegans and kosher can't eat with utensils that have touched the "unclean". That put an end to the gluten free and shrimp eating vegetarians.
I think a “healthy” industry doesn’t always mean a “bigger” industry.I think we can all agree that changes are needed to have a healthy industry. Getting younger generations involved in ways that appeal to them are key.
Agreed 100%. Raising the bar on ow/try scuba training so that people don’t kill coral will make the industry shrink. And I think that is a good thing.I think a “healthy” industry doesn’t always mean a “bigger” industry.
If there were 5 dive shops in a certain town that were all barely making it, and three of the worst ones went out, the remaining two would be healthier.
You remind me how happy I am to be out of the business. Thank you. As stated, I was unwillingness mg to make changes.Yep, that would make it easy for me too. I'm certainly not saying that a shrimp-eating 'vegetarian' is being a fair customer, but as a vegetarian, I wouldn't pay a premium to be your customer, particularly when my meal (shrimp-free-pasta) costs you less in raw materials and labor.
