Divers choose to become a Dive Instructor for a variety of reasons. For some, gaining their Instructor qualification is simply about being able to share their passion for diving with others. For many, it’s a ticket to dive around the world while being paid to do so. For others, it is about achieving a goal to reach the pinnacle of their chosen activity.
