yeah yeah so did you uh once you started at mantle lodge then did you continue with with training or spend some time getting used to the new skills that you got already from victoria

Yeah, well, it took me a little while getting, obviously learning the role at Manta.

Like that was all new in the business and like Manta as well as the dive center has like a hostel slash dive lodge attached to it as well, which was kind of close to 60 beds at the time.

So it was also learning to, to manage an accommodation facility as well, which was all completely new.

So, um, but yeah, I still had the, the, the urge to, to technical dive and to, to move into rebreathers and stuff like that.

Um, eventually, and, um, the James, the owner of, of, of Manta Lodge was, um, receptive to going down that sort of, sort of path as well.

He's, he's always been and continues to be an extremely, um, passionate diver and passionate about learning new things and so so yeah he's always been kind of up for for us getting into that sort of thing and um so that was yeah it was very blessed to to have that sort of support at at manta um to be able to go okay we'll start doing a bit more recreational training so Um, started growing that sort of part of the business, um, doing more recreational stuff.

I had to cancel, unfortunately.
