Sounds like a good and safe way to do business, especially with the redundant scooters. Do you guys leave empty tanks and scooters behind on dives or do you bring what you can back with you each dive. I am really intrigued by how you do business each dive and still keep interested in what you are doing. BTW, is this a full-time job for you and how the heck did you get started doing it?
