IN THE GREATEST DIVE RESORTS IN THE WORLD…
…AND GET PAID FOR IT?

LONDON GET TO THE SPARKLING BEACHES AND DEEP BLUE
WATERS OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS?

WE’LL EVEN HELP YOU START A BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN.
Simon, Fiona, William and Ruth are regular people like you and me.
But, they’ve managed to escape from the trials of a mundane
existence to a life filled with excitement and adventure.
They’ve left behind the gray cubicles…the stress of traffic and
pollution filled commutes…and they’ve given up the 9-to-5,
wage-slave mentality…they’ve found a better way.
If you have to make a living – and let’s face it, most of us do
– doesn’t it make sense to do something that you love?
Diving the world famous Blue Holes off the coast of Belize. (With
evenings spent on beaches so exotic and romantic that they are the
preferred location for international fashion and calendar shoots)
Exploring the waters and beaches around Cuba for a major American
hotel chain (and Cuba is just one of the locations that they are
looking at).
How about an expenses paid trip to Cozumel to review a new line of
dive gear…
…or, traveling through picturesque Brazilian fishing villages
searching for a new dive location (by the way, make sure your driver
has enough gas for the trip back!)
…now imagine all this with somebody else, maybe even the taxman,
paying.
REMEMBER THE LIFE YOU PROMISED YOURSELF?
Simon is getting the most out of life. Are you living the life you
had planned on growing up? More likely you’re working for a
corporation that doesn’t even know your name… and with downsizing
you’re doing the jobs of two or three people and being pressured to
get more done in less time.
Maybe you’ve been there long enough to take a two-week vacation
(if the workload allows, your boss seems to frown on people taking a
whole two weeks off at one time)
It’s a living, but is it a life?
You’d like to travel more…you’d planned on traveling
more…but, even then your salary only stretches so far and you have
so many bills to pay…
…and when you get your 401k statement, it seems that you are
actually _FURTHER_ away from retirement!
You know there’s more to life than this…you went on a great dive
vacation…you talked to the Dive Master… but, you’re afraid that
you might never have the time or money to go back…
…there has to be a way!
Have you ever felt trapped in a life that wasn’t yours? I did.
And, I found a way out!
LEAVING THE GRAY ENGLISH SKIES BEHIND
My name is David Evans. I grew up under rainy English skies watching
James Bond films. And in every movie he’d travel to some fantastic
undersea paradise. I dreamed of someday visiting those places. Now I
invite you to join me.
Over the years I’ve made many friends and acquaintances in the
diving business. Each has a different and unique business. And they
have all created their own version of the diving lifestyle. I’ve
spent eighteen months interviewing dozens of these people to help you
identify the diving lifestyle that will be perfect for you.
Some of these businesses are part-time and others are full-time…
…some in the States, some in the Islands and some, just about as
far from the ocean as you can get…
...What these people have in common is that they love what they do
and they enjoy meeting the folks they do business with.
Many years ago Confucius said, “If you enjoy what you do, you’ll
never work another day in your life.â€
SAM AND VICKI - PART-TIME, PART-TIMERS!
Sam and Vicki had a problem…
… maybe it’s one that you’re familiar with…
How can we start a business that allows us to dive for free in the
greatest dive spots in the world… afford all that great gear (maybe
even make some money)… and have more fun diving?
They didn’t want to give up their ‘real’ jobs - Sam created
architectural models and Vicki had her own real estate business. They
chose to create a ‘part-time, part-time’ business.
With no inventory, no office, no equipment, no opening hours (aside
from when they decided to open). They had the ultimate virtual dive
business. They could do as much, or as little, as they wanted to.
First, they’d decide which exotic location they wanted to visit…
…should it be Belize with that unique mix of gorgeous beaches,
steamy jungles and world class diving???
…maybe the Cayman Islands with just pure diving – Deep
walls…masses of fish…fresh wrecks
Now Sam’s an Instructor…but, don’t worry you don’t have to
be – in the course we’ll show you how to start this same business
without any further training.
About six weeks before their trip they’d put a class together.
Rent a pool for the initial training sessions. Then they’d rent a
boat in the exotic location that they’d chosen for the Open Water
portion.
And they made a whole lot of friends in the process…
…Sharing experiences and great adventures brings people closer and
leads to fulfilling friendships and a sense of community that’s
often missing from today’s busy lives.
HOW OFTEN WOULD YOU TRAVEL IF SOMEBODY ELSE WAS PAYING?
Wouldn’t an incredible vacation like that make your day-to-day
life easier to bear?
How did they recruit students? How did they make commissions selling
gear with no stock? How was all their diving tax deductible? Order
_PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE – THE BUSINESS OF DIVING_ to find out how.
William loved diving from when his father and brother used scuba
gear in their pool maintenance business…
William and his wife Ruth wanted to dive and wanted to travel to the
exotic dive locations that they read about in magazines and saw on
TV…but as a typical dual income couple in America (William is a
Carpenter and Ruth a Graphic designer) how could they afford to travel
to these great places?
A BUSINESS YOU CAN START ON A SHOESTRING
William noticed that a Veterinarian’s clinic on the Main Street
running through town wasn’t using its front display window so he
arranged to rent the window and room behind it. Prime advertising
space without the prime real estate price tag!
William took a course to be an instructor and so ScubaRave was born.
They couldn’t afford $7,000-plus for a compressor and so Ruth
would stop in Nashville on her way home from work to pick up filled
cylinders and drop off empties.
Since then William and Ruth have bought a house just off Main St
that was zoned commercial and re-fitted the garage as a Scuba shop.
The swimming pool in the backyard allows them to train students right
there.
GET PAID TO TRAVEL THE WORLD
They just got back from Hawaii…they were showing me the
pictures…stunning shots of fish, Coral and other marine life
They’re planning their next adventure to Bonair…pristine reefs
and diverse marine life that’s unique to one of the Caribbean’s
oldest underwater parks. And the best part is that someone else is
paying.
A SECOND SOURCE OF INCOME
Your job pays the bills, but life is better with more fun and more
money.
Maybe you’re looking for a sideline business…perhaps one that
uses your love of diving to generate a second income.
A second income can be important in these times where downsizing is
the norm rather than the exception and no job is safe. You can be with
a company for years and years when a new owner or simply a slow period
gets you laid off and replaced with a younger, cheaper (and less
experienced) person.
* Ted felt the same way when he started his business literally on
his kitchen table. Now he services dive gear from all over the United
Kingdom. The Internet and Overnight Delivery mean that you can start
your business from anywhere.
* Steve got into his business almost by accident. He’d
accumulated more gear than he could ever use. He started selling it on
EBay and in a few weeks made much more money than he thought possible.
Now he actively purchases gear and resells it on EBay. He makes enough
profit to fund his diving adventure and then some. He says, “EBay
can be a jungle, but I’ve figured out how to surviveâ€. He shares
his ‘jungle knowledge’ in the course.
When Steve needed a camera for a trip to Bonaire he purchased it,
used it on the trip and resold it on EBay when he got back. (He said
his wife would kill him if he bought an expensive camera like that,
but his business makes it possible).
And those pictures from Hawaii…they were taken with a $3,000
camera…wouldn’t you like to be able to afford the latest and
greatest dive gear? William doesn’t own a $3,000 camera, but
ScubaRave does…You can too.
Do you live miles from an ocean where you might start a Charter
operation?
Do you live far from a city where you could start a dive shop?
Don’t despair…
It’s still possible for you to create a dive business that will be
profitable and allow you travel opportunities that will make you the
envy of your friends and family.
As you build your business and form relationships within the
industry you’ll get access to the newest gear first...
and that new gear will be given to you free, or at a substantial
discount.
Do you want to be invited by manufacturers to try the latest gear
– at exotic locations?
As Bill said “The manufacturer flew us out to Cancun. They were
representing two or three lines of equipment and they wanted us to try
it out.â€
“We went to seminars in the mornings – “How to sell this piece
of gear, that kind of thing†and then in the afternoon we were
diving and trying all this stuff outâ€. This was when split fins came
out and we were trying split fins versus paddle fins. One of the guys
had a hand-held knot meter, so you can imagine a good-natured
competition started up as a dozen or so divers tried to outrun each
other!†(In case you wondered - The paddle fins beat the splits over
the short run, but the splits were the winners over longer distances.)
THE SECRET BEHIND FREE TRIPS AND FREE GEAR
Why does a manufacturer or distributor of diving gear want to send
you on a free trip…or give you free gear?
Well, it’s quite straightforward really once you know how the
industry works.
All of these companies have big marketing budgets to advertise their
products and influence the diving public.
You recommend gear to your customers and the manufacturers and
distributors realize that the more familiar you are with their gear,
the more likely you are to suggest their products to your clients and
customers. Maybe you switch to split fins or maybe you write a review
in your newsletter, or recommend it on your website. And if you do
they sell more.
Why an on-line store?
Because you can start it anywhere… with the minimum of, or even no
inventory... and with minimum investment.

The advice in this book is not theoretical. It’s based on the
practical experiences of dozens of diving professionals. Business
owners, men and women who do this for a living and make money day in,
day out, season after season, doing something that they love.
If you want to become a Dive Master or an instructor that
great…but instructors make $10 to $20 an hour…we want you to be
making $50, $75 or $100 an hour as a business owner. That’s the
skill you need. Because that kind of money can change your life. You
can pay off those credit cards. Take your family to nice places. Go on
great vacations. You might choose to instruct yourself or hire someone
else to do that. You’re in control, it’s your business.
Remember Simon, who we introduced you to earlier. Here is how he’s
spending his retirement after a lifetime as a mechanic in the grimy
suburbs of North London.
IF SIMON CAN DO IT…SO CAN YOU
Simon’s day starts like this…up early in the morning, checking
the weather, planning the day’s dives, loading the boat…then
it’s breakfast with the guests and driving the boat (the nautical
equivalent of a pick-up truck). At the dive site he’s encouraging
the weaker divers and challenging the more skilled. Back at port
it’s cleaning up the boat and dinner with the guests…
And, the money is great. Divers typically spend $2,000 for a week at
a resort. 16 divers at $2,000 each is $32,000 per week. Now think how
many businesses you pass on your way to work each day – the coffee
shops, the dry cleaners, etc – how many of them don’t make that
much money in a month?
And it’s seasonal work. That’s right, when the seasons over you
get to spend the time as you’d like. Wouldn’t an active retirement
that has you doing what you like to do most appeal? Wouldn’t a
retirement that depends less on your 401K be more achievable? And
doesn’t that beat your
10-days-after-two-years-maybe-vacation-lifestyle you have at work
right now?
Get out of the rut you’re in and get in to the best shape of your
life…forget the gym membership…diving 2 or 3 times a day combined
with the boat loading and unloading will get you in to the best shape
of your life and get you to a level of all-round fitness that you
won’t believe.
If you set out to discover this information yourself, you would most
likely spend months and months (not to mention thousands of dollars)
tracking down and meeting dive professionals.
You could set out and discover this information yourself. You could
do the research, meet these people, one at a time. But, how many
months (or years) would that take? What opportunities might you miss
out on? How many thousands of dollars would it cost? Don’t worry;
we’ve done all that for you. The information is right here,
translated into a step-by-step action plan, customizable for you. And,
for a fraction of the price of you discovering it for yourself.
You could enroll in business school for thousands of dollars with a
rigid class schedule (to cram into your already packed life). But,
even in business school they wouldn’t give you a fraction of the
time-tested, practical, ‘school of hard knocks’ advice covered in
this course.
You won’t even have to pay $79.95 (our regular price) for this
information. We’d like to offer you a special opportunity…
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY
