Topic is self explanatory, but I'll give some context as to why Im asking the question. I'm currently finishing my last year of my degree to which I'd like to spend a couple years traveling before I end up in my final place of employment. Scuba diving has always been something which fascinated me (joined in 2003) but I haven't gotten as much diving in as I had originally wanted to due to school.
Starting in the spring I'm going to start on the path towards getting my instructor and from there I plan on applying to some cruise lines for their dive instructor. However before doing so I was wondering if anyone has worked in this position and if they wouldn't mind sharing their experiences. I had already talked to someone else on the island a couple days ago (Im in the USVI currently) and they loved it and through working for royal Caribbean he subsequently got to see 47 different countries while doing what he loved (diving). This sounds like an absolute blast to me, but I'm not naive as to the hardships that are accompanied with this job. I'd just like to hear stories from other people who have worked on cruise lines and whether they liked it or not.
Thank you in advance for your replies and I look forward to reading them.
