I would like to thank all of you for your support, since I wrote this post thanks to the help of my instructor I got rid of my fear and I just completed my Advance Open Water course and Dry Suit course and I'm moving towards the Deep, Nitrox, Rescue and then Dive Master where I will stop for the...

For me Diving is not a sport, maybe that link of wikipedia that says that done in the pool where you in teams do excercises it's a sport but the diving you do in the sea it's definitely not a sport!

Hello everyone, As the title say, I was wondering why is Scuba Diving considered an extreme "Sport"? in my opinion it's many things, but it's definitely not a Sport, sport it's something where you can win alone or in a team something, in diving there is nothing to win, no races, no tournaments...

I completely agree with you, if you have passion for something, real passion then it's very easy to teach and share it with others and this is the exact reason why I want to be an instructor, to share the passion that I have for diving with others, to show how amazing it is and to make other...

I don't want to hear what I will like to hear, I appreciate the honesty, I'm just saying it's not motivating to hear that, maybe and I say maybe you don't know much about diving outside US? so maybe it will be able for me to find a spot somewhere in the world where I can work as an Instructor...

Guys I'm investing a lot of money in this thing and it's not really motivating to know that you think I will waste them...

so basically what you are saying it's just a waste of time and money to do this if I plan to do this for living?

Well @KevinNM I absolutely don't intend to need that much of time... are you an Instructor?

What I want it's very simple, I don't want to be rich, I just want to wake up every day and do something I love...

You are absolutely right, I will use the money I would had spent for getting to Instructor in getting to Divemaster and then get more experience... thanks!

Thanks for the moral support @stuartv my goal is to do this as job, I love so much diving and all I want to do is to share this passion I have with others, to show them how great it is...

So you think it's not worth to do this as job? I think you are very competent and you are kind and patient to explain things in a way people understand...

But I want to start to work in this business and it's already difficult to get a job as Divemaster.

I will like to thank everyone for their kind explanation to a person like me that feels stupid reading all the technical stuff you are mentioning... @Storker thank you so much for your explanations and help, I feel richer now because of your responses. @Diver0001 thanks to you as well for your...

I will like to thank all of you guys, because you made me realise that probably rushing in becoming an Instructor it's wrong, I wanted to do that because I know that if you are just a Divemaster it's extremely hard to find a job and I want to make of diving my job asap but at the same time I...

I will like to thank all of you guys, because you made me realise that probably rushing in becoming an Instructor it's wrong, I wanted to do that because I know that if you are just a Divemaster it's extremely hard to find a job, but at the same time I start to think now that if I don't do the...

1) So your DS gives you already some buoyancy? 2) So if your BCD brakes there is no way for you to remain underwater, you can always come up? even with the bottle on your back? 3) If it happens next to a wall there is a chance for you to don't be able to get to the surface anymore? 4) You wrote...

Hello everyone, I'm an OWD which decided to become an Instructor, I'm currently doing my AOWD course with the goal to become Instructor at the end of this winter. I did my OWD 9 years ago, then I didn't dive anymore since last summer, I was in Mallorca and I went to this diving centre, when I...

Hello everyone, I recently started my AOWD course with the goal to become Instructor at the end of this winter, I decided after long thinking to do it with SDI and then at the end I will do the TDI Nitrox course, did I made a good choice to go with this Diving company/school instead than others...

Hi Storker, Thanks for your reply, but I have some questions: 1) Diving dry you mean with a dry suit right? 2) Diving wet instead you mean with a wet suit right? 3) What you mean with DS? 4) With my questions I mean if you are diving and your BCD brakes and you are unable to pump air in it to...
