So I've decided to finally make the leap to becoming a PADI Instructor. It is my nature to over-prepare for everything I attempt in life so naturally I booked my IDC/IE for December of 2013. I will be diving with The Rainbow Reef Dive Center based in Key Largo, Florida.
I've been diving for four years now and have logged a couple hundred dives since then. I've been a PADI divemaster for going on two years now. I have been holding off on getting my instructor because everything I've read has told me that there is no money in it and it is hard to find a job. Although those claims may or my not be true; it has stopped me previously from pushing myself to the next level and I've felt a deep dissatisfaction in myself by not doing so.
Now I'm finally going to take that leap this December. I've put my deposit down and have received my IDC Crewpack and have started studying the materials. I plan on breaking out journey in to a blog series on Diveboard that will hopefully help me learn the material as well as give others a look in if they plan on becoming an instructor themselves. Please bear with me as I am not the worlds most talented writer. I encourage anyone that sees any errors in my information or tips as I go along to chime in as it will only help me and others following along receive the correct information. This blog is meant to catalog my impressions and journey and knowledge of diving as I go through the IDC program. It is not meant to be a teaching aid to bypass requirements for any diving organization. I will not be giving out an trade secrets or knowledge that can not be compiled from other free sources.
