I'm 50 ish + and diving for almost 40 years. =Considering lifestyle change and wondering if anyone else would place a value on having a DM/Instructor at a resort who would understand and cater to us (read OLDER) divers who might want to take it a little easier and slower. OR, who knows others who would like to discover diving but who think/feel the instructor might be demanding they keep up with the younger ones in the class.
If so, where geographically would you like to see someone? Any specific resorts? I'd like to initiate longer-term horizon discussions prior to the IDC...maybe schedule my IDC is the same area as the employment potential. If anyone knows Lino at the Moorea Pearl that is the model he is using and works for him. Simply, I am neither French nor Polynesian so I cannot work there.
While I'm not able to specifically help you in your quest, I will say that emphatically YES I think there's a market for a "seasoned human" to work as a DM or Instructor. Life experience counts when dealing with students and with certified divers. In my IDC of 18 candidates, I think there was one person older than me - and he and I are in the half that still actively teach. :-)

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.
