I'm 15 gonna be 16 June 19th,Right now me and my sister's b/f(19 yrs old),do body work,and paint cars on the side.Just for painting the car which includes prep work we get $200 a car,body work is extra. We also do wiring for like strobes and accessory lights and gauges on cars,and the occasional system wiring. Its going pretty good the only problem we got is that in August we are moving up to Amity,Maine.We hope to start up a shop up there with a real paint booth.Right now we use a garage that has plastic drapped from the ceiling to the ground all around and an exhaust fan suckiing fumes outside, But the cars rol out of the garage looking better then anything that comes from the local Macco.

Good luck Alec. Ypu have to be 14 to start the regular "open water" training. Otherwise you'll be a junior diver. Get your swimming skills up. There's a 10 minute tread and 200 meter (or 20 minute swim depending on the instructor) and that's just for the pool certification part.t-alec said:
To become a dive master, there's a 15 minute tread using only your legs and keeping your arms above the water. Your chin cannot touch the water. The swim test on that is pretty rigorous as well. I believe its 50 laps in 30 minutes. I can't remember exactly. As for me, I'm an advanced open water diver with creditation in wreck diving, dry suit diving and a medic/rescue diver. I still have to go back for reaccreditation in CPR (in and out of water). It's a tough test no matter what level you're trying to reach but at most, you'll be more than proud of yourself when you pass.
Just remember, accidents/emergencies happen after alot of little things are overlooked and/or go wrong. If you don't plan to get your own gear, at the very least get your own primary/secondary/octopus gear. Renting is fine but at the very least use your own stuff that you stick in your mouth (regulator) and be sure that it's up to date with safety upkeep. I ahve all my own equipment:
- Sherwood Mask/Stay Dry snorkel/Fins/Boots
- Sherwood Maximus Primary/Regulator/Octopus
- Seaquest BCD (Bouyancy Compensation Device)
- DACOR hoseless integratedDive computer
- Henderson "second skin" full body suit
- Body Glove 3mm full body suit
- DUI weight trim system
- Wenoka Gloves - 5mm
- DUI Dry hood
Good luck in your diving sertification. You'll love it!
I have all my own equipment. I have a wet suit,mask,gloves,boots,Primary/Regulator/Octopus,snorkel,fins,boots,BCD,dive computer.
Just to tell you I'm already certified. I got my junior open water certification when i was 10 years old. damn it was hard work but I'm so happy i did it. I'm in very good shape so that isnt a problem. I'm going for my Advanced Open Water.
Mabe we can talk on AIM sometime about what courses i have to take to be a instructer

Didn't know you were already certified as a junior diver. Once you get your status as a regular opewater diver, go get your advanced then medic rescue, divemaster, then you can choose to either go get your master diver cert (nonteaching) or Master diver/instructor cert.t-alec said:

recently accepted a new position with my company. Giving up filling propane to work in the warehouse and Labratory. I'm pretty excited about learning the Lab work. Analyzing gases for purity and stuff like that. It's a very cross the T's and dot the I's kinda position. They're actually gonna let me think!

I'm gonna fart in an empty baby bottle so you can analyze my gas. I'm sure others here will do the same for you so you can practice your lab techniques ....

27, recently single, as in I haven't even totally moved out yet. I did however just buy my own hous that I am going to stay at all next week as I am on vacation from my telephone repair job which I hope lasts at least another 21 years. The internet, and VOIP (voice over internet provider) really has me worried. Personally anyone that has there utilities threw a resaler ( resaler= one how doesn't own, or maintain the inferstucture) is hurting the local economy as contractors these other companies hire make much less, and probably don't have benefits for thier families which mean less spending..........
Sorry about the rant.
