Working as a dive instructor

 

The profession of dive Instructor is like any profession. Some are struggling to go through the end of the month, and some are living happy and buy new dive gear every year. How much you will earn and how nice your life will be depends on 3 things: your language skills, your general looking and your serious. The higher the quality of your clientele is, the more you earn; and to attract easy spending customers, you must present well and if possible speak several languages. Keep cool, it's not necessary to shave every morning, the simple fact of being serious will help you gaining the trust of the dive center managers. Being serious as a dive instructor is necessary, and this whether you deal with beginners or experienced.

They employ dive instructors in 2 domains: scuba diving courses and liveaboard. Generally, you save more on liveaboard as you spend very few - except when you are back on land- and how many nice souvenirs! What a life experience! Waking up before the sun with the boat crew, diving at 7H00 am in the dusk of the ocean to meet marine creatures before the others is an unforgettable moment. The scuba diving courses also bring some interesting incomes, depending on the quality of your clientele But the best reward is when a freshly certified Open Water diver thanks you and asks you how to continue his education.

On the legal aspect, you can't work without work permit any more, this in most of the places on earth. In change, it's less and less hard to obtain. In the Maldives, you get it without asking. Here in Thailande, you must hire an accountant who will set up everything for 25000 Thai Baht, and charge 5000 Thai Baht per month, including taxes. (Currency converter ).

How much do you earn? from 500 Euros to 2000 Euros, depending on what is written above.

A last word: if you are a Padi dive instructor, we defy you to stay one month without any job proposition. The padi members web site proposes an online job market with more than 200 job offers.  On top of it, after your IDC, we will help you setting a resume and a motivation letter as the dive center managers like to read.
