Weekly Links #4: Better Late Than Never Edition
Enough with the jibber jabber, here’s some links I found interesting and wanted to share from the past week:
SCUBA
Here’s some pretty cool stitched together panoramas of U-Boats lying on the bottom of the ocean.
After just recently trying a sidemount setup, I’m excited to see that PADI is already poised to fully embrace sidemount first as a specialty and possibly for adaptive teaching at the open water level.
If you’re reading this site, you probably already know that SCUBA can earn a living, but this is a great article going over some of the various ways people can make a career from diving.
Business
Duane gives us an excellent lesson on understanding SCUBA class price policies. This is always a delicate subject for people, but this is a great examination.
There’s been quite a bit of name calling in the bigger social media marketing world lately. We simply stay out of it. We frequently get emails saying things like “I use Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/Email, I can do all of this social media marketing stuff myself, right?” We teach you how to use these tools, but knowing how to use a hammer isn’t the same thing as knowing how to build a house. We build houses. If you choose to work with a social media marketing consultant, please feel free to contact us if you don’t understand their proposal or plan.
