All the commercial diving I do is with a tank, but that doesn't make free diving any less fun

Description

I have been diving recreationally since I cot certified back when I was in high school. Over the years, I have acquired all my own gear, and have gotten comfortable diving in the cold murky Massachusetts waters. During the summer of 2020, a friend asked if I would inspect their mooring chain and block, and from there I started advertising a bit and getting my name out as a commercial diver. I made some business cards and a website and went and talked to the local harbormasters. The summer of 2022, I did substantially more commercial diving than in the past, relocating a couple helical moorings, cleaning and inspecting a 120ft motor yacht, and more. It's been a great way to put my skills and equipment to use, meet some interesting people, and spend more time underwater.
