Dive 7 is all about independence! Jake is done shadowing and started teaching his first independent classes this week, and Myles is fun-diving with her former students and seeing cool stuff. One of Jake's IDC instructors, Jason Watters, stopped by to talk about running an independent shop and all the pros and cons of working outside of a large dive shop/retail store.
**Reminder** Free Descent is intended as entertainment, and should not be used to replace formal dive instruction. Remember to always follow the directions of your instructors and divemasters, and dive within the limits of your training and experience. Be safe, and have fun out there!
