After 28 days isolated offshore, divers hit port with money in their pockets and weeks of pent-up energy. Dive schools teach you decompression tables - they don't teach you how to handle THAT.

This episode, I'm sharing two stories from my younger days:

Trinidad, 4am: Two locals convinced me and my deck foreman to get in their cars and tour the "real" Port of Spain. Dodgy bars, spray-painted unconscious people at gas stations, a sketchy market surrounded by locals. We genuinely thought we'd be robbed or killed. The twist ending? Listen to find out!

Aberdeen: A blood-soaked cabin, a knee split open, Big Paddy asleep with a lit cigarette and half a loaf of bread on his chest. And the client rep who caught us twice in one month. Spoiler: I got fired and went surfing instead.

These stories are entertaining. But they're also lessons about reputation, consequences, and how small this industry really is.

Now I'm the client rep dealing with guys like I used to be.

The diving world is tiny. One night can follow you for 10 years. Be smarter than I was.
