Bruce Tulio: Off the Deep End!
There is a world of difference between having a hobby and having a passion. Collecting exotic coins is a hobby. Cheering for your favorite sports team is a hobby. Listening to jazz records is a hobby, and going for morning jogs is a hobby. But a passion? That’s something considerably more involved, considerable more devoted, something that takes more out of you and ultimately pays it back in greater dividends. And when it comes to Bruce Tulio, we are, by and large, talking about a man with many passions, not just hobbies.
His love of scuba diving is a fine example of this. To be sure, there are plenty of people in the world who love diving, and for many of them is it not a passion, but simply a pastime—albeit a rather exotic and exciting one! For Bruce Tulio, however, diving is a singular pursuit.
Indeed, he is not just an enthusiast, not just someone who dives for fun. Bruce Tulio has actually devoted his time and effort to spreading the word about how rewarding diving can be, and how easy it can be to learn. To be more specific, he once served as the spokesperson for the PADI Diving Society, which has locations across the globe. PADI is generally considered to be one of the premier destinations for diving instruction. Some of its sought-after classes include:
- Diver-level courses, for novice and experienced scuba enthusiasts alike
- Master-level courses, for professional divemasters and fellow instructors
- More technical courses, as well as specialty courses, dealing with different, specific areas of the dive
Of course, to say that Bruce Tulio is passionate about diving is not an attempt to sleight his other interests. On the contrary, here is a man who is marked by nothing so much as his eclectic array of passions and curiosities. In addition to diving, he also loves flying, surfing, and driving his Ferrari. And that’s to say nothing of his charitable activity.
Nevertheless: Bruce Tulio is serious about diving! And, he is adamant that it is a tremendously rewarding pastime, one that’s well worth learning and devoting yourself to with the utmost devotion!
