Congratulations!

BTW, Have you considered getting experience as a DM before you become an instructor? Maybe a bit of a baited question but being a DM can be highly rewarding in and of itself.

I would probably assists in more classes and work as DM in my free time. It was fun doing the classes too, so organising the dives on the boats was fun too. I enjoyed all my boat dives and wished i had more time here to learn..
 
well done!
how did the "equiptment test" go, otherwise known as The Stress Test
when my brother did it, he thought he was going in the pool, so he wore a shortie
then they took him in the sea
his buddy, was a small woman, my brother it a very large 18yr old
the instrutors tried these things:
Contantly taking off their masks
undoing tank straps
attempting to un do their wieghtbelts
and stiring up the sand
...but he passed
 
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations on passing your DM. I would absolutely suggest that you DM for a year or two before transitioning to instructor. It will make you a better instructor in the long run. Sometimes it's hard to go back and just be a DM for once you've earned the right to teach on your own.

Which ever path you take, best of luck and enjoy the ride!
