Do I get the HONOR of first post?
THANKS to everyone who made this happen!
I am currently a PADI Divemaster (since August 2005).
I carry my own Insurance and "work" only occasionally still with my Instructor/friend and Dive Buddy when he conducts classes. I make nothing but sometimes get my air, Quarry entrance fees covered but that is all I expect at this stage. (We do most training at a local Quarry. I dive there when we can't get away to better diving. We do a lot of trips to Florida, NC and better dive locations whenever possible. I am not Quarry Bound only!)
I am curious how many people get their Divemaster certification and then never do anything with it professionally?
We had a 7 member class and I think I am only one now who even carries Insurance and "works".
One lady flat out stated she wanted to get DM just so she got to park closer at the local Quarry! (Instructors/DM's get prime parking locations - less distance to caryy wet/heavy gear!)
Dive HARD but SAFE!
