Alex, This may be a mistake, but I just saw an ad in a Cayman newspaper for a Dive Instructor on Little Cayman (Southern Cross Club) for US $1000 to $1750 per year!! see attachment.Cayman Islands: $1200 to $1500 / month.
If you really really hate your job, how easy is it to get into this kind of work, if you have, say 32 dives logged and an open water certification
lol
Easier than you might think
You only need 20 dives to start your divemaster course and 60 to finish so you are halfway there. Find a resort/diveshop where you can intern and work in exchange for free diving, accomodation, and food (there are quite a few). Then all you have to pay for is a plane ticket to get there and the certifications that you aquire while you are there. You can do your advanced course in 2-3 days, it's 5 open water dives and a knowledge review on each dive with some in water skills. Then you can do your rescue and EFR course which only takes 3-5 days at the most. Then you can start your divemaster course which will take 4-6 weeks which may vary depending on where you go. This how I did it. If you want exact details or have any questions PM me.
