Happy Festivus!

It’s that time of year again. Many of you may be taking time off to spend with family. We’re into the last few days of this 2010. It’s my birthday today, my sister had hers a couple of days ago then there are family events through the weekend, add work and life on top of that and I’m a busy guy.

I’ll be doing a year end wrap up next week. I’ll be replying to some of your patiently waiting emails (but probably not until next week, I hope you’ll understand). I’m a work addict, so you may see me on Twitter from time to time through the weekend.

Regardless of your religious beliefs and your desires to build your SCUBA business (and my desire to help you), take some time off between now and the new year to spend time with loved ones, reflect on the year and make realistic goals for the new year. Without friends and family, all the hard work is worth nothing.

See you next week.

The tactic of launching a “beta” site available to anyone is typically done for two purposes: Build hype by allowing visitors to see the hot new thing that’s “coming soon” Builds the ability to say “sorry, it’s still in beta”…

SCUBA Standards Changes: Get Over It

New SCUBA divers are bad SCUBA divers, so we don’t want ’em. A typical catch-22, but one I hear on popular SCUBA forums and being discussed on the DEMA floor, especially in regards to PADI’s alleged “loose standards”. “I Teach Above Standards” I hear this all the time. I’ve even heard it, then observed below-standards…
