I stopped my instruction before getting a DM rating. I always felt if I got my DM I would also get my Instructor rating. I know many DM's and most do nothing with the cert other than dive. Most were insured for one year and realized it was pointless as the Dive Shops don't need DM's, and there are plenty of instructors who need a foot in the door. Not all diveshops have a revolving door of DM's in training as the Denver shops I frequent. My buddy in ABQ for example worked at a dive shop for years as a DM and now is an instructor.
So if you are a DM, are you one of those non working DM's?
Did you get the cert just for the training and experience?
Are you in an area where you can work as a DM?
Are you going to get your instructor cert?
