Professional Scuba Diving Jobs

Professional Scuba Diving Jobs Professional Scuba Diving Jobs Scuba diving is an awesome but expensive hobby. But water if diving isn’t a hobby but rather a career? A lot of people do it, that’s how there are always enough instructors to teach but what about you? If you really do enjoy scuba diving why not make the lifestyle jump and get a professional job doing it? But of course it’s not that easy, a full scuba course will set you back a hell of a lot of cash in the USA and most professional scuba professions don’t exactly offer huge monetary payback to pay back any loans you incur getting that education. That doesn’t mean that becoming qualified is always that expensive, heading abroad and making it into a traveling holiday may well be the way to go. PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, are the world standard and maybe only place to o to get qualified and be hired across the globe. They offer full diving certification from the basics to the most advanced and run in licensed hubs across the world. As is the global economy, the price of PADI course fluctuates, much due to instructor pricing, place to place. This means that in expensive countries qualification is expensive, in cheap places it’s usually pretty cheap. Luckily for the budding diver some of those cheap places also happen to be home to some of the best dive spots on earth. A good friend of mine, let’s call him Timmy, got sick of his dull day to day life in the UK and decided he wanted to dive. He worked his behind off for a few months, saved up a few thousand pounds, headed to sunny Honduras and started taking his PADI courses in the beauty of the central american reefs. Within a year he was teaching and along with another internet cafe support job became fully qualified and continued on there as a teacher for a while. From there on he spent a year in Egypt and has since taught in other places including a stint in Northern Europe teaching in dive pools and taking people down into ship wrecks in freezing waters. How awesome is that? Honduras isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It allowed Timmy to do it extremely cheaply and live in a new culture. He could have done a similar thing for a similar price in other central American countries, South America, Egypt, Thailand and a few other places for a similar price. There is a lot of choice. He is now able to take his trade to a lot of places and although never earns a lot of money can get by well enough doing something he loves. That doesn’t mean there is not money to be made with a scuba diving job. Technical diving qualifications could allow you to do things like underwater drilling, forensic diving, recovery diving and a host of other underwater pursuits that can line your bank account very well.
