Hey everyone,
I'm interested in eventually doing the DM course. Even if I don't end up working in the industry I definitely wouldn't mind the new knowledge I learned and the chance to travel and dive (a lot) somewhere new!
I'm currently a PADI AOW student with 31 dives. I plan on doing the Rescue Diver course and the TDI intro to tech (to improve my skills underwater) in summer, which should bring me up to the minimum of 40 dives required to start the Divemaster course.
I was wondering if it would be better to do some more diving/become more comfortable before starting the course (and if so how much), or if it would be better to go for it right away since the skills I learn will help me later on.
For the second part of the question, I'm Egyptian so I do most of my diving here in the Red Sea. However, I would like to do my DM somewhere else. Assuming I would return to dive here in Egypt, should I find somewhere with similar conditions or perhaps somewhere more challenging? Any specific recommendations (location not dive shops)?
Thanks a lot!
