DiverMike 5 #26 February 18, 2011 QuoteI started to loathe the time I was spending underwater, the money was fabulous and I enjoyed the teaching, it was just that diving sucked! +1 The best way to ruin a fun hobby is to make it a profession. Been there, done that, moved on. For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #27 February 19, 2011 Winters in the NE are pretty frustrating, especially after the weather we had last year. I got 82 jumps in last year and it drove me nuts. My wife and I are both ready to be done with the NE, mostly because of the weather. My wife is getting more into hiking that I'm not really that into but I do it for her. We've yet to have a really serious conflict when I want to jump and she wants to hike. SLC is calling our name though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreggB 0 #32 February 20, 2011 Throw in the towel and fun jump. You might have to switch DZs. Not permanently but if someplace is work then it is a workplace. Besides if you are still on the books you will get asked to do just 'one' when it is busy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 7 #33 February 20, 2011 Quote Quote What I hope to find is a chance to progress from what I am now (which is not much) to camera man and rigger while living (and making a living) on the dz. I just want to keep the best thing that happen in my life in my life. Ask around, it is a struggle and get really old in a short time. You will not have the time to live the fun part.

Tink1717 2 #34 February 21, 2011 Yeah, I've seen that. "Just one" is ten by the end of the day. I know I'll have to go away if I do that. It's not that I don't have a place to go, I just don't get that excited over a Cessna. Decisions, decisions.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
