the smoke thing seems a bit irrational to me. with a moving boat, the wind will never blow smoke from the back of the boat anywhere but off the back. think about it and let me know what you decide, either way. if you really are that phobic, you will have to work inside only. since smoking cant be outlawed outdoors. if you want to resign yourself to working in some stuffy office, just to avoid smoke, thus failing to live out your dreams. that seems a little silly, no? one thing IS certain, _you will die someday anyway. what did william wallace say?(or atleast mel gibson in braveheart)? everyone dies, but not everyone lives. i for one, decided i like diving and spearfishing enough to sacrifice a well paying careere in the northeast, to live in key west and be broke. and i wouldnt change a thing! i AM living my dreams. you should do the same. you only live once, and the starting bell HAS rung already, - times moving along, are you?
Not necessarily true. Teaching is skill/gift/calling unto itself. Anyway, most beginners/holidaymakers that snorkel, just fin around at the surface breathing through their snorkels (which usually have purge valves these days) and don't breath-hold at all - I have 2 such in my family!Ick. Now that my doctor has ordered no breathholding (temporary lung damage), I won't be a very good snorkeling instructor

Sorry to hear about the lung damage Lil Dragonfly- glad to see the work "temporary" in there

If you would like to come to PA for a weekend I can certify you in Lifeguard and CPR for the professional rescuer if you would like. (about $90)
Boring! I have no interest in teaching that.
I think there'sa fair bit of confusion i this thread, at least there is for me. Mr.X just described what snorkelling is, and although your thread is about the desire to TEACH snorkelling, you just said you're not interested in it.
Now I have to ask, are you looking to magically enter the world of instructing freediving without the proper qualifications then??
