Some two years ago, I decided to look for local dive shops. I found Midwest Scuba Center and walked…read morein the next day. I've since done Advanced Open Water, Computer Nitrox, Rescue, Visual Inspection, and Equipment Specialist with Midwest Scuba Center; I'm currently working towards Divemaster. I traveled with the shop to Dominica, Florida, and Indonesia. All of them were blasts. I saw pristine marine biota unmatched by anything you'd imagine. We also enjoyed many different cuisines across the spectrum. As a Divemaster in training, I experienced the backstage of scuba diving. Every minute a diver enjoys means two minutes of hard labor for the staff. I can't stress enough how increasingly appreciative I've become since starting Divemaster. I've become good friends with a lot of the staff. Alex is the owner of Midwest Scuba Center, and as opposed to Brad, the previous owner, he is an incredibly amiable guy; just like him are Jesse, Pete, Rick, Bill, John... I kept coming back day to day to the shop to hang out and to help out. I enjoy being around those people. I can't imagine what my life for the past two years would look like if I decided not to walk in that day. I've established connections with excellent people from all over the world through scuba. It is a big escape from the vicissitudes of life. I encourage everyone to give it a shot. You may not be as into it as I am, but you will never regret it.
