Since thisĀ video was posted 6 months ago, I have loaded it up every few days to receive a constant stream of motivation to further my scuba skill set into a full time passion. PADI is always putting out great content and this particular clip really speaks to me on a personal level. Leaving daily life behind to slip into another world beneath the waves gets my heart pounding. Not to mention the local beer š It’s stuff like this I send to my friends to motivateĀ them to get their PADI certification.Ā Check’er out:
I love the idea of travellingĀ around the globe exploring anywhere and everywhere with great scuba diving. The current goal is to head to Cozumel, Mexico in August 2015 to go scuba divingĀ with whale sharks. My dive buddy and I have been chasing them around central america with no luck on our last 2 trips and I’m eager to be dwarfed by the biggest fish in the sea. That’s an experience that should leave the ol’Ā jaw hanging no doubt. When it comes to travelling, it’s important to remind myself that the benefits far outweigh the Ā financial costs if you do it smartly. For example, staying in hostels while backpacking Ā aroundĀ Costa Rica to getĀ my PADI open water certification saved me a boatload of cash and also helped me meet some amazing people. A far richer experience than being locked in an all inclusive resort compound.
Surrounding yourself with inspirationĀ to travel is a great way to avoid getting caught up in the daily grind if you work any type of office job, and with so much great media out there it’s really not hard to do. Speaking of which, aboveĀ is another fantastic video I load up whenever I am in the mood to go travelling. So pretty much at least once a week š Probably the most effective advertisement for a travel company ever, and I stumbled across it completely by accident. Great words to take to heart from Alan Watts.
Scuba diving is a passion of mine and I am glad to share my sources of inspiration with all of you š
