I originally qualified as a Divemaster purely for the diving benefits. At the time, I was a serving military officer...and I knew I would never actively 'use' the qualification. The course was a great learning experience for me.
As a 'non-working' Divemaster, I enjoyed having the skills and experience to be the 'senior' member of my circle of diving friends.... and they benefitted greatly from that.
Only after several more years was I in a position to consider working full-time in the diving industry..and having the DM certification, coupled with years of effectively 'leading' dives.... was an excellent springboard for me embark on the IDC.
