I'm 50 years old and have been diving a long time, but have recently decided to get my instructor certification. I would like to supplement my retirement by doing what I've loved for 39 years (I took my first lessons at the YMCA in 1967).
I would be interested in any comments or suggestions about the different agencies, and what you're experiences were when you became instructors or dive masters. Should I go with a local shop or go out of town? Is there an accelerated course somewhere. Is my age a factor. How good of conditioning is requiredl? Anything about gettting instructor certified would be appreciated.
