What employers look forFrom the Divemaster guide
Captains hire people who are safe first and personable second. They want a PADI Divemaster or equivalent with a few hundred logged dives, a clean safety record, good compressor knowledge and the ability to drive a tender. Experience from a busy dive centre in Egypt, Thailand or the Caribbean counts for a lot. Remember that a divemaster cannot teach courses. Yachts with children aboard or owners who want to certify friends will often prefer, or pay more for, an instructor.
