Damn, I was qualified until you mentioned "under the age of 40"
Unfortunately I'm a 48yr old dive instructor with tech ratings and good boat handling skills who's considering retiring to Antigua.
I'm also a 48yr old dive op customer who travels to Antigua regularly, so you may have lost me there too.

Next you'll say it's OK to run an ad saying "White applicants only... we prefer not to have black instructors"
It's a typical liberal dodge to throw out some inflammatory nonsense like this to race bait. The real world will never suffer people having the right to simply have their own opinions anymore. Just another PC Zombie, regurgitating the line of the elite avant guard.
Really, I don't think it's my place to tell ANYONE who they should or shouldn't hire, fire or associate with. Funny how today it seems everyone can be big brother and it's all ok.
I have friends who are Muslim, I occasionally rail against Islamization and protested the city and state assisting the building of a mosque and Islamic near ground zero in NYC, lots of my drinking buddies are recent Chinese and Korean immigrants, I am anti open immigration and against legalization.
My best friend is mulatto, and I decry affirmative action as discriminatory. My brother is gay and I performed his wedding, while I slammed those who attacked the bakery that chose not to bake a cake for a gay wedding. I'm a polytheist and think the NYC rule banning Christian churches from renting space in public schools after hours is ridiculous.
Meanwhile I don't want the Ten Commandments listed as a source of law on the courthouse steps unless the codes of Hammurabi, Justinian and Rome as well as the Germanic common law are similarly glorified in the same courthouse.
I've defended a group of young men of color who were wrongfully accused of a crime - taking all sorts of heat from friends in law enforcement... And succeeded in proving they were innocent. Then later spent time defending police officers wrongly accused of misconduct. I'm against the rioters of Baltimore while supporting reforming law enforcement procedures. I see police abuse of power and know it's not racism - just abuse of power. Elsewhere I see cops trying their hardest and never catching a break from pundits in the media.
It's called being a rational actor and respecting the intention of the Framers to LIMIT the scope and roll of government.
Why do you think it's your place Or that of government to direct how anyone goes about living their life or operating their business?
I guess people's lives are so empty they must create drama for others. Either that or they really do think we should all be marching to the pied pipers tune in line, indifferent to personal choice or ability to think independently... Another cog in the wheel.
