Objective:
The work on a live aboard as a dive master and gain experience to become and instructor.
Present:
I am new to scuba. I am certified just over 1 year and in this last year I have logged 56 dives to date. I am (NAUI) AOW certified and am planning on taking Rescue and Master Diver over the winter. Then starting Dive master next summer. I have dived everything from mud puddles with 3-inch vis. in calm waters to Flower Garden Banks NMS with strong currents in 6 ft swells.
I am a 28-year-old male with no wife or kids with very little debt.
Question:
What is the best way to go about getting a job aboard a live aboard? Are there live aboard jobs that will hire before you are a dive master? Is there a trade magazine with jobs listed?
I have been land locked all of my life with no prior boating experience. But, I have always loved the water and have a strong desire to work on it. I have looked into places like Halls Diving Institute but I don't think starting a new career $18k in debt is the best idea. I would like to here any advise on this matter. I would like to come up with a plan that will make me a great diver/dive master/instructor in the future with as little room for failure as possible. I am willing to work anywhere in the world.
