Hello! Any recommendations?

Firstly - hey! I'm 17 and live in the UK currently.

I suppose I'm a pretty ambitious kid and I'm always looking in to stuff that is oh so interesting!

Anyway, I'd like to know what course/internship I'd need to do to Scuba Dive in the tourist industry (like taking holiday makers on dives etc.), and what is the pay like? I've also looked at Marine type of stuff like researching, I've seen internships in the Seychelles but would this type of work only require diving qualifications or would I need a degree or something?

I'm looking at doing this in different countries such as the Caribbean etc (like the Grand Caymans), so could anyone tell me their experiences and if they've lived/worked out there diving wise.

Thanks for your time, please excuse my naivety I've only just been looking in to the idea and thought I'd ask the experienced lot!

Hey, thanks! I'll research it a bit more

Any idea what I'd need to take others (those on holiday) diving? Would I need Diving Instructors qualifications?

Thanks again
