A random thought/opportunity. Throughout Texas (and the US/World) I’ve noticed some great dives sites/resorts for sale. Threatened with being bought out by someone for a hotel, fine dining establishment, or other non-dive friendly replacement. Why not pool our resources, create a LLC, buy a few, and promote them/improve them until we have so many people diving there we have to keep buying up every dive site to make them "the place to dive?" I think a few bright ideas could really revolutionize some of the current "everybody knows about it/word of mouth" business models in use today. We can make it the place to go and attract worldwide attention to get divers, have on site food, dive shops, etc. Yes, a huge project, but just think...our only job would be diving and improving dive sites...I am willing to help out anyway I can and help with operations including be a full time consultant, divemaster/instructor, night manager, grounds keeper, etc. Keep blowing bubbles and I’ll keep blowing up terrorists. :)
