Here's a question that I'm sure will spark some contention:
I'm a PADI Rescue Diver, with intent to make the leap to Dive Master so that I can work professionally. I want to ultimately be leading dives, be able to work with researchers and aquariums, dive shops, etc. Unsure yet if I want to end up teaching, but I do know for sure I want to get my dive master certification. The question is do people think there is a certain number of dives or time spent at Rescue before I should consider starting that course? I have just around 100 dives to my name and dive with consistency. I'd like to start looking for a preceptor for DM soon, but would like to know if people with experience think its worth waiting.
Much appreciated.
