thanks for the reply, but the shop that i was specifically asking about was maui diving scuba center. Which is different than maui dive shop. The info was great though, because maui dive shop was another shop hiring. Any more comments on either is appreciated. I know MDS is quite large and my course director said he could get me a job with them, but have not been able to talk to them after emails and a few calls. maui diving scuba center is a small mom & pop shop, but they say i would be teaching about 300 OW-rescue classes a year. My pay would be directly related to how many i teach, which is ok for me because i primarily want to teach. Of course that is easy for me to say seeing how i am a new instructor. After 300 OW, i might wish i was back in cold indiana. thanks again everybody!
