I just finished everything for Divemaster last night. Now I get to work on insurance, etc.
I really started taking the DM training to support my Venture Crew - but like a typical teen group, in spite of everyone saying they wanted to learn scuba, many either couldn't get the funds, had other interests, or in a few cases aren't comfortable underwater. Net result is the Crew is 2 youth divers richer. So I'm expanding my focus to help other local Sacramento Valley scout divers.
I did discover that being a paid DM is a young person's job. Glad I'm not planning on making a living carting tanks around. As a volunteer for scout groups THEY can lug their own gear, my job is supervision. Wish me luck.
