Scuba diving in Philippines. World definitely slows down when all you're focused on is diving.
Met the local husband & wife team of the dive resort. Essentially, started small and it evolved over the past 15+ years. They have locals helping with boats, air tanks, cooking & housekeeping. Absolutely no complaints. Some limited in English but everyone very helpful. A cultural thing I think but all the women smile when interacting with me, only a minority of men.
No idea how profitable they are but comparable land (without the actual structures) are at least $350k. Toss in the structures, and am guessing in the $2M+ range. A pretty decent chunk of money when some say $60k net worth is enough to get you into the 1%.
I can see myself operating a dive resort here. Enjoy the view, sea breeze, night sky, hosting a bunch of rich tourist/expats, giving employment to local community etc.
