Want to become instructor doing training in Central America.

[JMB1990]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 32 year old Canadian construction worker, with dreams becoming a scuba instructor. I've been diving for around 10 years and always had a dream of turning it into my life. I have put this dream off for work and more recently covid to many times and now finally decided I can't any more. I am working out my plan to go south for roughly 3 months to start, selling or moving most of my stuff into storage. In this 3 months I want to do a divemaster internship and my instructor course and get as much training as possible. So far I am thinking of doing this in Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua or Panama. If you by chance read this and have any advice it would be greatly appreciated and helpful.

You wouldn't be the first to do this kind of thing. Go for it. Check out Utila Dive Center. I did not pursue a DM cert but spent a month on Utila diving and hanging out with others who were working toward DM and instructor, and UDC seemed to have a good program.
