For me, it was an excuse to get into the pool when the lakes are iced over. That's why I signed up to do divemaster. Second reason, with my physical shape decreasing exponentially with age, it is probably the last time in my life I can pass the physical test.... (well, actually I didn't do too bad, but that was a major concern). I am very doubtful if I would ever get liability insurance, unless some dive shop is willing to pay for it. So far, I am learning quite a bit.
I've seen 4 different instructors and different styles. Simple little things are done differently, and I realized that my way of removing and donning gear is actually easier than what my first instructor taught (left arm first, push the tank over, then right arm). I just saw another instructor using it, and all 7 students got it right off the bat - both on the bottom and the surface. The other method that I was required to learn (horse back riding) didn't work for me, and didn't work for many of the students either.
Anyone here actually plan to look for work, and actively looking for full time work? If so, what destinations are you thinking of?
