I'm doing my DM course at the moment.Gottta say it's been the longest course possibly in history because of this covid pandemic.so far it's been a year 3 months.and because of lockdowns in the UK I've probably only done 6 dives since Feb last year.carnt wait for the lockdown to end and finally get that elusive ticket.But whilst not diving have been studying hard all the literature supplied and taken all the exams .

@everythingscuba 3 года назад

All my immediate family live in Scotland so I feel your pain! We hope things start to loosen up soon so you can finish your DM! Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

thank you for this informative video! i am exploring getting started myself. can you tell me what it is like going through these certifications while making a living. In other words, once you made divemaster and are a professional.. are there many career opportunities.. that can pay your bills in order to keep climbing the ranks and getting more dives and more certifications? thanks!

@everythingscuba 3 года назад

Chris, depending on where you are in the world and how you apply yourself, I think you'll find many great career opportunities for professional divers. It may not be the highest paid job in the world, but the satisfaction of introducing new divers to our oceans is a beautiful thing! Good luck to you and thanks for watching!

I love your intro. This is my first time watching on of your videos but I already think the intro is something that could get old very quickly (because it's long you know?) so maybe you could either shorten it or turn it into an outro?
