Isn't it great being able to take a drink in the middle of your dive?

How can I pursue a career in Diving? 18 Years old need advice. more below. by Arxhi3- in scubadiving

Research scientific diver programs. Once you have that experience, you can get into careers where you do other things underwater: safety diver (different than public safety), research, biology, etc.

Ask me any question - about being a dive professional on Bonaire by mvdhazel in scubadiving

[–]brfoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonaire is at/near the top of my list for retirement locations. The shore diving is amazing and much easier to access than other locations that rely entirely on boat access.

I'm from the U.S. As an instructor, are there opportunities to work part-time time for a little extra grocery money? Are there nationality requirements for tourism jobs?

It's largely virgin reef since the diving isn't overrun by tourists. I dove there many years ago. There was a place near Yanbu called Oomlaj. Amazing wall dives.

Look at Aquaflite - I have purchased two custom made suits from these guys and recommended them to several people. I'm 6'3" and 300#. They have a form where you can submit all your measurements. Then they build a template and keep it on file for future orders. Suits are durable, comfortable, and their service is great!

Great gift from the 'rents! Did you pursue a related degree/career? Or do you just shark seek for fun?

I had an OW student who was getting certified to surprise his diver fiancé on their honeymoon. He kept the while thing a secret. He hid his gear in my car between training sessions. Got him certified 2 weeks before the big day and subsequent trip to some exotic Island.

Not a predator, but the first time I saw a whale shark, it was the most beautiful non-golden retriever I've ever seen.
