Dive Master Tom

Tom's work Adventure continues..........

As you know Tom has been hanging out, diving as an investor and underfoot most of the time. The past week brought a new chapter in this saga.
A friend of ours, Chris, is an independent boat captain for the Lucky Dog. I have talked about him in previous blogs. Anyway Tom has been diving with Chris for years and a lot since we have relocated. We have also become friends with him and his wife, Michelle with Saturday BBQ's at their house with a group of others to play horseshoes. Yes life on the island includes horseshoes!

Anyway Chris has decided to leave the boat life and take a great job opportunity with Mel Fisher as a investor relations guy. He still wants to keep his boat business going so he has asked Tom to help out.
Tom is a WORKING Dive Master on the Lucky Dog!!!!!!

What does that mean you ask.......
Chris has a number of boat tours he offers which include taking MF investors out to dive off of the treasure salvage boats and out scuba diving out along the KW reef.
When the Lucky Dog takes investors out a dive master has to go along to guide the investors that are diving since the boat divers don't have the time. They are there to do the salvage work. Tom is now the dive master guiding these dives. YEA! (Chris is also hiring a captain to drive the boat since Tom isn't able to).
Right now that means he is out anywhere from 2 to 6 days a week (depending on weather and investors scheduled to dive) diving 4 -6 treasure dives a day. It's not a full time treasure salvage diver but it is as close as he can come at this time. He is very excited to have this opportunity.
As mentioned above there are other tours that Chris offers which include scuba diving. Tom will also be the dive master on those trips. This means he will be learning the KW waters and reef. I may even get to go along and dive.

By the way the picture at the top of the blog is one that I took of Tom when we were diving off of the Dare during one of our KW trips. It's the best treasure dive picture I have of Tom until I get a chance to get back out on one of the treasure boats and get a new one.

We are forever grateful to Chris for the opportunity in this amazing Adventure.
