Hello all who post here,
I am a new member and an inexperienced diver. I have loads of snorkel experience as I spent 6 months working a resort in Guam and had tons of free time. Now a friend of mine from highschool (graduated 99) has just informed me that she went to a zero to hero course in mexico. Basically it was around 8,000 USD for 6 months of intense training to become a Divemaster/ instructor. Now she lives in a tropical location and works at a friendly dive shop. Is this typical?
I have been researching scuba for a while now and Ive come to find that time is a huge factor here. as in it takes time to become skilled, confident and experienced.
She recommended the school she went to but I have found many like it all over the world. Thailand seems to be popular.
It just seems like such an intriguing lifestyle and I cant help but be drawn to it. Any suggestions, tips or advice is appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
I began diving in August 2010. OW, AOW, EFR, Rescue, Nitrox, Deep spec, Wreck spec, Videography. 231 dives and 6 trigger attacks later my DM was completed. I bought myself a Pro QD and some sweet regs too. Headed to Maui this week hoping for some good vis. I had totally forgot about this forum until searching some old emails. Its funny how time flies..
Speaking for myself, no, I wasn't. Just cheering a funny line by Andy.halemanō;5951839:vladimir...are you really paying attention?

Roger that.Someone forgot their 'sense of humor' medication today....
I did say 'probably'. In this instance, we can see that the OP is an under-achiever
Thanks for that analysis. Still funny.halemanō;5952418:Ah yes, "cheering" an ignorant post as funny; how ScubaBoard.
The OP comes back to his thread pretty much 1.5 years after the last/previous post, telling us that he is a 231 logged dive DM.
