I am a DM, might be doing my IDC soon. Not planning on ever making it a full time thing though

like

My local shop has been after me about being a DM and supporting classes. I’m interested in DM just to reinforce the content, but no real interest in teaching. However, could be fun to meet people, log dives for free, and pick up some extra cash.

DM Training is very interesting and definitely made me a better diver (especially if they want you to help with classes, so there’s more emphasis in skills). Diving with non certified people can be nerve wrecking as some people easily panic and swim to the surface, but teaching is cool. Money…. Well it’s some pocket money here and there so will not change your life lol I would recommend.

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?

Going Roatán like I forgot how to travel.
• Alarm goes off at 5:15, wake up at 7:45
• Forgot headphones
• Forgot charger
• Checking bag and it’s 100% self serve (but I don’t work here)
• Cant check laptop because of battery and it won’t fit it scuba gear bag… that’s why I have 2 hands (coffee and random laptop)
• Negative Covid test, check, but it’s 20 min outside the 72 hour window based on who knows what time they chose and didn’t mention (don’t worry, they’ll just give me another one haha) 😅
