Hey all - I am finished with the first half of my scuba open-water lessons!
I still need to do an actual open-water dive, but that will come soon enough.

Now, I know it isn't fair of me to ask this of any of you, seeing as how I'm mostly inactive on this board due to school and work, but my documentary is in need of donations!
We need money to fund our trip to Miami, which covers boat and equipment rentals, and caring for a crew of over 8 people from Miami and some from outside of it.
(Caring for means hotel stays, meals, transportation and gasoline, etc)

Its also for any emergencies we may face during our trip, including lung over-expansion, decompression sickness, or any environmental inflicted injury that may cause us to delay our trip.
Also covering any equipment damage or emergency rentals.

Please guys, help me out - Anything you can donate is appreciated! Every bit of it helps - NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL. That means even $1 amounts are appreciated (yes, the more the better, but I understand the times being what they are).
This is a project for school, but its also a very personal project, as I have longed to see the Memorial for a long time - So, for me, this is a dream come true.

Here is the link for donations:

Oh, the location that we are diving and filming at is the Neptune Memorial Reef in Miami, FL.

Thank you, Kalani - Do you think you can share the link and info though?
If you can't donate, I understand - But please share the link!

I don't come from a wealthy or even middle-class family. My parents, aunt and uncle, cousins, brother, and myself are always barely scraping by.
I have no means of funding my films, except for the generous help I receive from friends and strangers. any other money that John and I make tend to come from my financial aid and his paycheck, which all goes to supporting our household.
If anyone could spare a dollar or two - if everyone of my friends donated $2, I would have enough to make my environmental film about the Neptune Memorial Reef.
Please help me, guys. You are, sincerely, my only hope.

Before this weekend, I will hopefully have a "trailer" of sorts ready for viewing pleasure. Maybe it will give donors an idea of what I am hoping to make.
