Yes, you could say that. I don't think things are going to go as fast as a lot of people on here do, because so much is dependent on weather and the recovery tech hasn't changed that much, but I'm in it for the long haul, or until it makes me enough to retire.
I've been to SFRX's Christmas Party, and they offered to have me get certified and go on a dive with them. I didn't do it, but they offered. I met the entire team, they seem genuine and motivated, as far as I can tell.
