Justin, since you are starting from scratch consider having a talented artist to come and do a mural or murals of some critters or underwater scene or scenes in your business space. It really dresses things up and gives it some character. I have a close friend that does that for bars, restaurants, sides of buildings and so on but unfortunately he lives near Galveston, TX. The point is that it puts a little memorable class to it that people remember. Give it some thought. If I am able to return back to Dumaguete I will take a course at your new digs. Best of luck!
Congrats again Justin! You've made it & got a well-put together resort & scuba dving shop & training center. This must be the first one like it in the Philippines.This would definitely attract more foreigners to come to the Philippines & get the best diving experience in one of the most beautiful coral reefs & amazing critters you can find in the world.
A business minded person with strong commitment to pursue like you and you do doing it in Philippines will prosper because you’re showing for love of the sea and it has a lot of that so a Big Goodluck Justin!!!
Great news Justin. A bit of advice concerning your sign for the National road. It really needs to be contrasting and possibly reflective colors. When I was searching for the various dive shops in Dauin the majority of the signs were old, faded and hard to read. Put a little more effort into that and your customers trying to find you will thank you because they will be able to find you which is what you want too.
Fantastic Justin, it all looks very organized (the layout as far as the buildings themselves and the flow as it relates to the administrative, instruction, equipment, etc) all right on the waterfront. It was great meeting you the other day, it's really cool how your dive shop business is coming to fruition, congrats.
Gonna watch these episodes start to finish. Playing catch up Bud. You know what its like with the busy busy this time of year. Great commentary and moving forward. Full watch always for you Justin and team. Have a fun weekend from Paulo & Kathy GB
Justin that's a great place !! Who wouldn't want to learn from the best and stay there with a million dollar view ,.. Boy lucky students!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 🧜♂️🧜♀️
I don't know, Justin.. that yellow on black logo really jumped out at you...😲 Looks great the way you did it, very professional.. I'm happy for you -- you're going to 'slay' it!
Congratulations Justin on your new venture! I haven't come across any of your videos since Alex's house was built and their new furniture shopping was about to happen. I haven't actually seen his house furnished and the family moved in, by the way will check if you did a final video and I just haven't seen it. I love your logo and name for the business, you do not give yourself enough credit regarding all the work you have put in on the computer, along with finding such a great resort to use as your base for the diving centre. Your knowledge and skills that you have accumulated throughout your working years in every job you have done, now will be passed onto others, especially when it comes to the superb underwater photography you do!. You look like you have lost alot of weight (well done you) and your painting of the buildings you will be using were spot on! I will watch part 2 next!
Congrats. Are there any decompression chambers in Dumaguete in cases of diving accidents? Make sure your camera room is extremely secured, what with all those expensive equipments.
👍😎🇵🇭🤿! Way to go! Sure looks like you are off to a great start! It would seem that you have found a great career to share with others and continue to grow! I think I will have to stop by in the near future! I am still stuck in the USA for a short time! I can really say I am very happy for you so let your passion keep you going!
Amazing show Congratulations on the Critter Republic dive shop. Great show happy for you. Nothing beats being your own boss. Have a great day. Love the logo. Seattle Krakens are my NHL team. Just advanced to the 2nd round of playoffs. Setting NHL records this year. They beat Colorado’s Avalanche Stanley cup winners from last year. Have a great day Justin.
Been a bit since I watched a video. Super happy to see that you've dropped some weight because you've got a ton to live for. Make sure to not make your doorway too large as you'll loose wall space when its already small. 36-48 inches should be fine.
J...best of luck with the new venture, it looks like a winner. Just be careful of the other scuba sharks in the water there in Dauin. As for wetsuits, are there not any custom wetsuit makers there in Philippines...there shouldn't be any need to pay retail for suits ordered from America. If not, let me know and I can recommend several wetsuit makers here in Thailand who do wholesale orders for shops here in Thailand and internationally.
Congratulation and good luck with this adventure! FIY, your website appear below the other one (that you know of...) which created a confusion initially.
Congrats on Critter Republic! Always wondered when you are going to open your own. About time! This can also be a venue to educate peeps and spread awareness on marine envt care and biodiversity. Make them love diving, you make them love rhe natural envt. Kudos! Btw, that extra space could be like a cafe/snack bar for your patrons!
Sierra Resort is awesome. Great upscale location for your biz too. Tons of parking. Crazy beautiful resort pool (do you get to use it for classes?). Cheers
Congratulations on your dream come true! Geez, I have nothing but time on my hands! I am knowledgeable in various trades, resort Maintenance, Carpentry, Welding, Fabrication and more. However I am disabled and grounded from flying until my wounds heal. Otherwise I'd offer my services to you! I have always enjoyed your videos! Diving is one thing I cannot do unless I had a helmet-so I can't do it. $$$$$ for a helmet. Anywhooo I love what you got going on and wish I could help you. I'm not money hungry at all. My wife is Filipina. Perhaps one day we can pay a visit with you and your asawa! Keep making educational videos for people like me who will likely never get a chance to dive. Jacques Cousteau was soooo fun to watch as a kid. Now, we have your channel! Thank you!
You got this man! Awesome place. I think classroom should have a door for noise, just my two cents that are actually worth about 1.2 cents at current market value
I am most definitely interested in coming to visit you to dive and stay there. How expensive is the resort where your dive shop is located? Is shore diving easily available in your area (with different dive sites)? Are you going to be running a dive boat also?
It's not on the cheap end, it's a beautiful resort. Critter Republic is at Sierra resort and ya we have boats we use. It's very easy to get to shore entries, including my house reef
You might want to have a sliding windows on the side, just in case the a.c. Ever breaks. Glad to see you doing your own thing, partners are never good. Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Congratulations buddy!

Slowly fixing things

Nice going❤
Come see me some time
Beautiful location
Best wishes to you and yours
Wishing you all the success brother
Very nice. Is this the dive shop you and Finn snow are opening??
This is all mine
So Freaking COOL!!
Sierra Resort is awesome. Great upscale location for your biz too. Tons of parking. Crazy beautiful resort pool (do you get to use it for classes?). Cheers
Ya but we have a second pool that I mostly use for teaching
Oh yeah, the second pool next to the dining room. Its about the same size as baki’s. I think its always in the shade, too. Perfect.
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulation Justin ☝️😊
Hey Justin...Congrats on the new shop. Will you and the resort offer all inclusive packages?
Yes
Congratulations ❗ All the best on all your explorations 😊👍
Very cool. Hope I get to see it in Nov. Congrats J!
Can't wait to come down and support. Love from Canada. Making the move shortly

You're awesome, thanks for the kind words. I could definitely use a welder right now!
God bless you always 🙏
Yellow and navy blue is good,just my suggestion.
You got this man! Awesome place. I think classroom should have a door for noise, just my two cents that are actually worth about 1.2 cents at current market value
See you next year, looks great 👌
Lookin forward to it
Is that in Northern Palawan?
Nope, it's here in Dauin, Negros Oriental.
Awesome stuff in canva, I should try to find a dive log template on there
Haha I doubt they have a template for dive logs
I've always liked the 18th/19th century monograph illustrations. It's part of what drew me to biology in the first place.
Grand blue
Wow! Looks fantastic... if only it was close to the ocean. 😉
Isn't it?
@@doc2log tongue in cheek. 😉

💪💪 👍 !
I really hope you don’t mind, but can you share costs along this series? For those of us considering opening a shop
Probably not, unless I do a seperate video with a rundown.
I can dream haha. I want to open one in the states but it’ll be a few years
