Pipeline Surf Point

My fiancee works with helicopters for many years now, and is very experienced. I want to open a flight touring business, of the grand caynon, yosemite, or something along those lines. I know there are alot of laws and regulations that go with flying in parks and some dont allow it. But basically a touring business where people can go up and see the sites, like the many businesses do in alaska for example. also, i was thinking about taking arial photos for real estate magazines, ect. or taking video footage for surf videos, ect. I know that it is expensive to own a bird and dont know how to go about it. There is lots of questions and research I need to do and find out. If you have any knowledge of such a business from personal experience or a friends personal experience that would help alot.

Im 36 with a young child, I do not want her to have this same fear.

I am going to go Scuba Diving for my first time, and I’m going to the Great Barrier Reef. How much does it cost to get PADI certified? How long does it take? Do I need to buy equipment for training? And while diving in the reef can I wear a wet suit that only goes down to my knees and elbows? Thanks
