As a PADI MSDT and former dip facility operator, I've seen
many who have gone to the expert diver rankings and become operating divemaster
or teachers. Do you truly wish to continue subsidizing your diving profession?
What exactly are the situations which you could do in order
to make it so if you do move down the expert diver route and receive all the
security and dive certifications necessary to qualify as expert diver, you find
meaningful job in the dive business.
I'd say the number one thing is do not cease at divemaster!
The main reason is simple; you will find far more dive masters than there are
teachers. Dive teachers can function as dive masters but not the other way
round, therefore a dive centre when given the opportunity to seek the services
of a divemaster or an educator, should they have one slot, then they will
choose the teacher more occasions than not. The exclusion could be dive masters
who have a great deal of local expertise, might find the nod over a brand-new
instructor. There's a saying around the dip industry which you could not have
too much direct or a lot of teachers.
Look on the ski diving boards and determine what tasks are
being given and what tasks are being hunted, then look at what will be the
extra credentials which are being demanded.
As a rule of thumb the more languages which you speak,
especially if you're in large backpacker ski destinations such as Koh Tao, Bali
or even Sihanoukville, the greater the odds you will get picked up with a dive
centre to function for them. Popular languages such as French, Japanese, German
and absolutely English if that's not your mother tongue, are constantly in
demand. If you're fluent in more than 1 language, raises even more your own
chances.
Gear and Compressor Restoration. Possessing a dive live
aboard and with some one that may mend equipment on employees, may be a massive
relief for the ship owner. As a rule of thumb, people who understand how to
correct equipment generally know how to avoid difficulties. They understand the
significance of upkeep, and aren't intimidated by machines.
Develop a connection with a dip facility. In case you have a
lot of time around a dip centre they have a known amount in you, they
understand you understand that the local dive websites, they understand just
how great of a diver you're, and that you're knowledgeable about the dive
centres surgeries.
They understood I had a normal job, but I tell them I was
constantly available if they had some policy. I was fortunate in my routine job
it didn't matter when I took days away so long as I gave them 24 hours notice.
Guess what dive store owners invest a good deal of time?
