I am moving along towards my instructor certification. I want to try to make a living at this (doesn't have to be a huge one), and was wondering if anybody had any input.
I am looking for input on where to get certified, which agency (PADI, NAUI, etc) and any other helpful insights you might have. I have looked at some of the IDS schools in Florida and Mexico and some of the resort ones guarantee you a job with them when you finish? Anybody have any experience with that? I wouldn't mind living in Mexico or the DR for a couple of years if that is what it takes.
I know PADI is the most widely recognized, but it seems that NAUI has some very good points as well. I was told you can get cross-certified easily anyway.
Let me know what you have experienced!
