What is the true heart of scuba diving? Is it exploration? Or is it recreation? How did our pioneers look at the game we play today? With the passing of Tom Mount, the boys take a second look at his past and try to capture the essence of his philosophy. From recreational to technical diving, Tom Mount drew a line in the sand and fought for the diver. He was willing to walk away from the blossoming scuba industry and start his own educational agency and share his philosophy.
