I need a general idea what a Divemaster earns in Australia. Whether it be per day/week/month or dive?
I know it isn't much and I have searched but cannot find a satisfactory answer (that is one with numbers rather than 'not much'). I know they don't earn much at all. Even a ballpark figure would do me, or a range (like $10 - 20 or something).
The reason I want to know is that I am currently fed up with what I do (I work in IT) and I am going for my Divemaster in Malaysia at the end of the year with the intention of leading dives when I get back (or even overseas but not related to this point). I don't expect to earn much, if anything, but I simply cannot deal with IT anymore and if I could get a job part time (even in IT) and lead dives for 2 - 3 days a week, or even on the weekends I think I could cope more with what I do.
Thus the reason I ask is to get a general idea of what a Divemaster/group leader earns so I can work out any realistic chance of this happening.
Once again I apologise for asking a question that has probably been asked many times and I appreciate the help.
Thanks
