seems like dancing on a mountain top in a lightning storm. there are other ways to make money. shows how difficult it is for people to leave something they've been indoctrinated into. I wonder how many people come from other parts of the world to become an ab diver in that environment.

Terrible, you can be intelligent and the best diver but against a determined GW you have no chance, this is your livelihood and and it’s dangerous so you don’t way up the cost of the gear that’s keeping you a family man and feeding you. I don’t understand why they don’t use a cage can’t cost that much and can definitely be a lifesaver in a situation where the sharks an aggressive one.
