Scuba Diving and where I start?
I have been looking into scuba diving lately and I really believe this would make a great career. I am 19 and need to set up a career. I found some schools that sound awesome but they say I have to have a PADI Rescue license. I am not sure where or how I get one. I was looking to take out a loan for the package. I need the PADI Rescue license, 60 logged dives, and Current CPR/First Aid Credential. Where Do I start. I live in Indiana, looking to move to Florida. Would I need to take out a loan to just get started with that? I want to get started with a career and this sounds awesome!
Well, you are jumping the gun here. What type of career in scuba diving do you want? Commercial diving is pretty dangerous, and you are away from home all the time.
If you want to be an instructor, you need alot more experience and alot more classes. Plus, it's pretty competitive to get into. Most dive instructors work other jobs as well.
But as far as getting your certifications, call up local dive shops (or sporting goods stores) and ask about their certification programs. Visit the PADI website and see a list of certified instructors in your area. Certification will only cost you about $200, plus equipment usage or purchase. You don't need to take out a loan for it.
The Rescue license will require additional classes, which may cost more. But you have to start with your basic certification, and it gives you the chance to see if you even enjoy it first.
