You appeared to have small diver down stickers with your name on the bottom of the sticker. Cool where can I find those? Link to where you bought the Red hang tags with key ring with your last name stitched in white letters to mark your gear Where you bought the hang boxes in the peg board in your dive locker to hold things like your gloves, masks, etc. Links to items shown in or referenced in your videos and listed in the description are always welcomed.

Moment of realization after being hooked for last week on this channel. It goes like 4h a day on my screen why I`m busy with my handwriting practice. And I`m amazed how I can enjoy something that I`m so freaking afraid of. I have heard hundreds of times that people leave comments like "there is nothing to see except wet rocks" but here is my logic why I can enjoy watching this so much: when people watch skydiving videos and they are absolute afraid of heights they don`t leave comment like that on those videos. People shouldn`t be afraid to enjoy things they are scared of, there are ways like this channel where I can see that without going there, works for me! I wish this channel and awesome persons behind its production never ending successful future!
