"With the hundreds of pictures so far."
This is still the coolest picture with the deepest meaning. In the company of men that I have worked side by side with over the years topside. In some of the harshest conditions. During the toughest of times. In front of the man that brought me up in the maritime industry. Diving for the company that made absolutely all of this possible. After years on top, or inside of these barges. To be able to go under them, in the water to work....Being given the opportunity to go to dive school, and become a commercial diver has changed my life immensely. It has opened so many new doors. It has also shown me that you need to take pride in whatever you do. Give it all you have. Stay safe. This job is hard. Stay strong. Take care of your brothers and sisters.
