Hello.
I am an Army Veteran looking to change things up a little. I was discharged in '09 and have spent my time since traveling the world. One major means of income and traveling is Sail boats, so I have found myself on the water quite often and I enjoy it. I would like to add a little more to my resume through an investment in myself. I have done a bit of diving in the Red Sea and Andaman Sea but it was always with professionals that I had become acquainted with so I never found the need to become certified at the time (considering my budget...). I have spent this Summer back in my home town in West Michigan and am really starting to lose my mind being here. It's strange how nothing changes. Anyway, I have decided it's time for something new and I've chose SCUBA as the direction I'm heading. I need your help as knowledgeable divers to refer me to the best program for me.
I am eligible for Vocational assistance through the Veterans Affairs and I have confirmed that they will pay for the training as well as the equipment necessary to work as a professional in the industry, I just want to know what program I am going to benefit from the most in regards to being a competent well rounded dive instructor. I have looked in the the International diving career institute at Halls in South Florida but I have read some really terrible things about the place. That's when I realized I needed to ask the people who know best!
If you have any recommendations I would much appreciate them!
