Within the United States, a SCUBA instructor will probably make between $35k and $40k per year, which likely includes all his income sources. At dive resorts, newbies gross around $20k annually, while seasoned instructors make about $22k per year. On a cruise ship, expect to make about $1,700 per month; while your live-aboard dive instructor salary comes in around $2,000 per month. If you manage to land a private yacht gig, you can expect to rake in close to $3,000 per month. www.shmoop.com gives a detail of variables that effect income.
