## Planning a scuba diving trip around the world This is a crazy idea I have in my head since the start of 2021. COVID-19 stucked me in my home, and gave me the opportunity to create great [saving habits](Saving%20habit.md) and make my business profitable. I reached a point on [Scuba diving](Scuba%20diving.md), where I now want to live a lot of different experiences. It took me two years to win confidence about diving skills, as well as certifications. When I'm watching the best destinations for diving, I'm really like I want to make it all. Egypt, Indonesia, French Polynesia, Mexico, New Caledonia, Australia, Maldives, Caraibes, Greece, Malta, Madagascar, Iceland, Israel... There's so much awesome diving site in the world that I want to do. So why not making a scuba diving round-the-world trip? I had the chance with my co-founder to create strong remote culture and a free travelling policy but I never fully take advantage of this. I never travelled alone either. This is a challenge that I can make maybe once in my life, and it's better to be done before I get too old, or my company get too big. So let's try to plan something like this. ## Todo Like the Chinese proverb says: > A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Before trying to get any flight ticket, let's break down some of the planning steps, by answering questions. ### Where? - Choose the countries - For each countries, what are the specs? Power supply, currency, travel visa, admins? - Create a roadmap and order the countries - For each countries, choose the diving sites - Where to live and sleep? - Countries where I have family? ### How much? - How much will it cost, or different, how much money could I get out? - Planning every expenses - What's the risks and how to count this? - Once I know the amount, how much do I need to save money in order to be ready? - If it's too much money, how about borrowing? - How about creating a business model around the travel? Sponsors? Content creation? - If this isn't profitable, how about planning some remote work 1 or 2 days per week? ### When? - When do I start? ### How long? - How long can I be in travel mode without putting my business on pause? - How long would I stay in each country? ### Who? - Do I go alone or do I find a travel partner? ### What? - What are the pre-requisites? - What equipment do I take with me? - What to do in order to make safe trips? Insurance, vaccines? - What are the administrative requirements? - What flight tickets? - What kind of dives do I want to do? - What did I buy before? - What did I buy on site? ## Resources - [World best diving sites (FR) - Tourdumondiste](https://www.tourdumondiste.com/meilleurs-sites-de-plongee-au-monde) - Basicaly, anything on ["Tourdumondiste.com"](https://www.tourdumondiste.com/)
