DISCONTENT AT DIVE SHOP AND EXPERIENCE

I finally have my instructor's credentials, but I am still dissatisfied with matters at internship location. There is no management to speak of, the boats break down weekly if not daily, there is a lack concistency in all copmany policy, and since we are "free" labor the abuse is rampant. I see violations, legal and administrative, constantly. I fear I have been made a party to these breaches in law and ethics by threats from dive shop.

I am confused because I want to meet my obligation of 6 months, but the value of what I am learning from their so-called brilliant management style is much less than what was promised in addition to being made a party to their breachs in the law and ethical responsibilities.

This is only the first time I have really wished I were back in Atlanta. If you know me you grasp the gravity of that statement. I even dare say that I miss RSPH.

Dive the Vandenberg!

Brownie and I had a day off together and decided to head down to Key West. We left Key Largo around 6:00 am for the long ride south. We watched the sunrise to our east, ocean side, as we counted down the mile markers. Along the way we were always a few miles behind the rain which produced some great rainbows through the drive. We even saw a highly endangered Key Deer cross the road. I've drive to Key West many time over the years but had never been lucky enough to spot one. As expected we arrived at Captain's Choice in Key West about an hour early. It was nice not to be rushed. Checked in, chilled, until the boat was ready for passengers. It felt very odd not to be lugging tanks on the boat. You almost want to jump in and help, but I must admit it feels pretty good not doing all that work. After all, we were there to enjoy a great morning of diving. Soon enough we headed out and about 35 minutes later arrived at the mooring site for the Vandenberg . It looked like a...

Pihea Vista Trail

We finally had a day off together and my first day off in almost two weeks (13 straight days of work). It was great to go out there and enjoy the beautiful scenery Kauai has to offer. The other bonus was being able to take Niles out on a long walk with me. He wasn't to thrilled by the time we got to the Pihea Vista. It was a straight upward climb in the mud and he was already tired from the relatively easy part of the trail. I forget that the pup is getting old. He's a getting gray. I guess that what happens to a ten year old black dog. He really hated the part were I jogged back to the start ing point. I need to take easy on the old dog. I don't feel much like writing so I am just going to post some pictures of the beautiful vistas from the trail.
