As someone who is new to the diving world and community, I really take pleasure in and enjoy all aspects of the diving lifestyle, and as you could assume, im absolutely delighted to be interning at a place were I get to explore my passion and further my skills in the diving world and in life in general. I met the FUSE staff when I got certified as an open water diver before leaving for a trip to the beautiful Florida Keys the summer. Upon arriving to the store, I could feel that this was a much more relaxed, friendly, and just a overall better environment (and yes I have been to most of the other dive stores in Sarasota if not all). I was astounded by the ease and convenience of getting open water certified and soon after I was in the Keys and putting to use my new skill and loving it!!!! As school approached I came to Florida Underwater Sports for a possibility of being an intern for them so I could possibly further my skills as a diver and at the same time get a great learning experience out of it. So a few emails latter and some paperwork and I was part of the team. I began with learning how to fill tanks, one of the most important and time consuming jobs there is, I have come to learn filling tanks is like an art, you can’t go to fast you can’t go to slow, you have to be just right. But filling tanks is just one part of my internship, besides tank filling I help with the displays, assemble scuba equipment, help out on dives, all kinds of general work, brainstorm new ideas for the store, blog (obviously), oh and not to mention I help out on the dives that we host (that’s one of my favorites). I would say my experience so far has been incredible and one of a kind. It is absolutely one that I am going to cherish and remember for the rest of my life. I also hope to continue gaining experience and knowledge in diving and obtain more certifications witch will help me work towards my divemaster certification.
Till next time Jamie guy (intern)
