I am a Mechanical engineer living in Vancouver Canada and am planning to move to Tasmania. I am doing my rescue course at the end of the month with DM and Instructor courses to follow.
I am considering taking a break from engineering and trying to make a living as a dive instructor in Hobart and am looking for any advice anyone has to offer. I also have a few questions.
Foremost, am I crazy?
Second, would it be better to do my dive professional training in Hobart instead of Vancouver? Is it more expensive there? Here DM is between $600-$700 and the instructor course is around $2000.
Third, anyone know what the employment situation is like for instructors in Hobart?
Cheers.
Brandon
