Getting certified as a scuba instructor
A career as a scuba instructor offers many advantages. Although the job is rewarding and can lead to physical and mental growth, there are some challenges. An instructor might be responsible for leading novice divers to their first dive. A good instructor in scuba is one who has had experience.
A majority of training organizations require that instructors continue to learn. Instructors are encouraged to take advanced courses, seminars, or in-service learning experiences. They have a wide range of qualifications which could lead to higher-ranking positions. This includes being able to teach the entire range of PADI dive courses.
While scuba certification classes can vary widely from one place to another, the course typically consists of three to four days. The three main components of the class are theoretical knowledge development, confined and open water dives. Some courses can be completed online, while others are held at a local dive center.
Divers have many career options
If you have a love for the sea and enjoy being around people, scuba diving is a great career option. If you dislike people and don't like customer service, then scuba diving may not suit you. Divers must be able to adapt to foreign environments and use technology. They also need strong social skills. There are many job opportunities available in this field.
Scuba diving careers are varied and rewarding. You can also monitor and study fish populations, conduct research, and more. There are also plenty of opportunities in freshwater environments. You can test water quality, spot invasive animals, and even survey fish farms.
Safety of scuba diving
Safety is key when diving. Pulmonary barotrauma, where air bubbles can escape into the chest cavity or bloodstream, is a very common danger. This can cause arterial gas embolism (which is often fatal). Divers should not touch corals or animals while diving.
Planning your dives is important as well. This is particularly important if you're going on a dangerous or deep dive. Also, make sure you are checking the safety of your equipment. A well-planned dive will help to avoid serious injury or death. If you find a problem underwater you can quickly notify your partner, or call for help from a rescue team.
Divers are generally safe, and it's difficult to compare their risks to other activities. There are some risks associated with diving but they are far lower than those associated to running, driving, or taking long flights. However, it's important to stay physically fit and avoid diving beyond your training limits.
