Yep
Current plan is to save cash from doing this road warrior gig I'm currently on, and then use the money saved to open up a SCUBA shop.

Why not?
There are divers wot live here. Lotsa great wrecks in Michigan. Ice diving is a specialty, as is dry suit diving. Besides...vacations that I can write off when I go to the Caribbean can't be all bad!

True enough, like the dive shop in Anchorage
had to keep the shop open by inspecting commercial boats. That would be way more interesting than IT. Good luck to ya.

Wet suits...
Lots of people from Chicago-way come up to Michigan in the summer.
Lake Michigan is rather cold until about August or so... I myself have a wetsuit that I used for water skiing.

Note: wa-ter ski-ing
Implies not much time spent in the water, let alone under it. ;-)

Not for me
I pissed off my instructer by refusing to be whipped.
He make a fist indicating he was about to whip and I'd shake my head. He'd insist, and I'd drop the line.
So he didn't warn me, took it REALLY tight and fast. As I was skipping over the water like a stone, I lost it. Did a couple of cartwheels, and then landed sideways. Continued to roll over the water. Ripped my shorts right off my body and I lost them.
I got a little wet after that.

Instructor? do you get an instructor for lap dances too?
latest fun thing in Alaska according to one of my buds. Get a Heavy equipment innertube, strap some canvas to it. Load it with drunks, attach a jetboat with a chevvy 455 motor and a long rope to the front. Go like hell and see how fast you can ditch the drunks.

Re: Instructor? do you get an instructor for lap dances too?
I dunno.
Was I getting lap dances at camp at age 10?
That was when I was water skiing.

my apologies, at 10yo I was instructed by pop's friend
put the rope between the ski's and hang on tight. What seemed like 2 minutes at 50 mph being drug under the water they stopped the boat and said "oh yeah, when the boat start forward pull yerself up then hang on tight." worked fine then.

Sounds like my experience.
But I never was given the instruction about pulling up. :-/
Cheers,

Does Berry Scuba still exist?
They used to have a couple of stores in the south suburbs and in Lombard near Yorktown mall. If they do, then it might be tough to compete against them. There was a place on 59 one half mile north of I-88 that went out of business several years ago. I took lessons from a guy that had a shop behind the Glen theater in Glen Ellyn back when I was young.
Never saw a scuba shop in Naperville, but with Naperville and Aurora combining for over 1/4 million people, that's a lot of potential customers.

Yep
They used to have a couple of stores in the south suburbs and in Lombard near Yorktown mall. Yep, they're still around. If they do, then it might be tough to compete against them. I dunno. I've been to two of their stores and I was thoroughly not impressed. Most of the stores I've been to in Austin and NJ seemed much better in terms of selection and service... There was a place on 59 one half mile north of I-88 that went out of business several years ago. Nope. That one is still there. I was in that shop in October looking for a work-for-free job. Offered my services completely free. Got turned down. He said he didn't need any help. Whatever... Never saw a scuba shop in Naperville, but with Naperville and Aurora combining for over 1/4 million people, that's a lot of potential customers. That's rather my exact point. Lots and lots and lots of people here. There's gotta be a market somewhere! -YendorMike
