Anyway, honestly, no matter where you go becoming an instructor is not a terribly difficult thing to do. Becoming a good dive instructor depends more on you more than anywhere that you choose to do your IDC. What was said earlier was totally true. Being a full time dive instructor is a great life but, at least in my case required being willing to have enough to just get by. I think that it's fantastic that you want to do this with your life, but you should understand that it's a lot of work, it can be uncomfortable and discouraging. I will tell you that I have absolutely no regrets for making that decision myself.
I'm not too far noth of Ft. Lauderdale, and I live in the next town north. When you get into town, give me a call, maybe we can have a beer. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I believe very strongly that we need more instructors that care about what they are doing in this industry.
