Uncover Stories in a Whale of a Tale
Dive deep into unforgettable journeys and lessons from my welding adventures.
From Offshore Adventures to Teaching Welding Excellence
Here are a few photos that I dug up from an old photo album the other day.
As you look at them, remember what Rod Stewart says about how "Every picture tells a story…
One day, when I was a little boy, I was sitting around the house watching TV.
Hmmm. Only two channels were available at that time. I got bored, so...
I went outside to take a picture of my dad.
But then I got older and
graduated from diving school. They sent me offshore on a big ship
and threw me overboard...
Sometimes it was easy...
Sometimes not.
Sometimes it was cold and wet...
And other times it was dry and dangerous.
There were always lots of mechanical toys to play with.
One day, I met this other guy named JIM. He wore a big yellow suit.
Here's a picture of where he lived...
And here's a picture of where he spent a lot of his time...
Jim could weld in the wet water or...
...he could weld inside a big dry box.
Sitting at the bottom of the ocean.
One day, they took an X-ray of JIM.
After that, they sent him back to the beach for rehab.
He wasn't feeling so good, so they took him inside the clinic.
And everyone lived happily ever after.
The end.
Enjoyed the Tale? Here’s a Thought for Young Divers
I hope you enjoyed this little story. Please come back again as I update this site from time to time. And, if you know of some young person who is thinking about pursuing a diving career, please have them call me, and I will try my best to talk them out of it.
