Hey people, i would like to ask some questions regarding starting a professional diving career.
Since I'll need to wait a year before i can start my profession at home I would like to focus on becoming a dive professional for a year.. I'm 26 years old and this has always been my dream.
I have done about 10 dives only.. and ive only finished my open water PADI (3-4 years ago). If i would like to do a full course to divemaster and also want to make my profession out of it. Are there a lot of options to start this at a diveschool as internship? Where it's more like a traineeship, so that i'll work there afterwards which makes the course maybe even free?
Or should i rather take a course somewhere and find a job after?
As far as I've seen a course will cost me around 1000-2000 dollar ?
What kind of tips and advices could you guys give me on how i should start this carreer and where?
Thanks in Advance, Sebastiaan, from The Netherlands
ps: I've been diving on Curacao, Indonesia (real short) and near the "Blue Hole" in Egypt.
