My wife and I are both certified advanced open water, NITROX along with PADI dry suit specialty. We are planning to take our Rescue Course in May and then our Dive Master iduring the period May through the fall. We currently have about 50 dives each and we started diving one year ago.
Here's our situation. My wife and I are working professionals (I'm an engineering manager and she is a kindergarten teacher) although we'd rather be diving. We are 40 and 39 years old, have no kids, live healthy and keep fit. We are thinking about checking out of the rat race and teach diving for a couple of years or longer possibly. Is this something anyone has experienced (i.e. this type of radical career shift)? And if so, I'd like their feedback on their experience with the lifestyle change.
Any assistance / advice you could give us is greatly appreciated.
