I guess I could call myself a future divemaster candidate and I am curious about the reality of it. I hear all the jokes and sarcastic sayings, but I've never heard an actual first hand experience about life as a DM.
I would like to believe that being a DM is just like anything else in life, if you suck at it you wont make any money or be happy doing it, but if you actually apply yourself and do a great job you can make a living.
I also believe that DM is kind of a stepping stone in the process of becoming an instructor, (maybe I just don't know any better)? I don't think that being a DM is the final goal of anyone's pro scuba career, right?
I would like to hear your real life story on becoming a DM, good or bad. Did you make enough chump change to survive?
thank you in advance for your insights
