Starting a diving/scuba career?

Hi guys,

I’ve recently been looking into the diving community with great interest. Just to give you a background on my life I’m 17 years old I got certified for open water diving about 4 years ago and I fell in love with it. My dad took the classes 2 years before me. I’ve lived in Minnesota all my life and both me and my dad have grown up on Millacs lake so were part fish, well not really but close to it! Most of my lifve I’ve had most of my friends and family tell me to go to college and get a well paying job and have nice stuff but I thought hell I want to do something I love something I have a passion for and this might be it. He wants to open a diving shop on Marco Island in Florida in the next 5 years but I’ve been looking into commercial diving/dive instructors/dive masters. I’ve done light research but I really don’t know much about them. How much money would one of these make is it enough to get by? Is there a career where you photograph underwater?

Thanks a ton!
Shane

It all depends on where you go. I don’t know how much a dive shop makes but I work as a dive instructor in Myrtle Beach, SC and I make enough to support myself, plus I’m doing what I love! I know some of the resort places in the Caribbean and such don’t pay all that well. I really just depends on where you go and how the business is run. I would try to stay away from the salary or even hourly positions. You’ll end up doing way more work than you’re paid for (and I won’t lie, it’s a lot of hard work!). Basically my advice is to follow your heart and go for what you’re passionate about. I wouldn’t totally rule out college though. I just finished my undergrad degree in Marine Science and I’m currently working on my Masters. Being an instructor and having the education that I do has opened so many more doors for me!
