How to Make a Good Living Out of Your Passion for Scuba Diving
Review: "An important book every current and would-be dive professional should read."
"This book should be required reading for anyone thinking about becoming a scuba instructor. In fact, even if you’ve been a scuba instructor for over half a century, like me, you still should read it.
It’s a comprehensive and brutally honest discussion of just about every issue imaginable affecting dive professionals, which makes it unlike any other book out there. And although Darcy’s unabashed honesty certainly won’t endear him to some diver training agencies and some other industry elites, this is exact why the book is such an excellent resource—it tells the truth: To grow, the dive industry needs a completely different business model.
The chapter, “TEACHING FOR SUCCESS” I think is especially masterful. Frankly, I stopped teaching recreational divers and instructors a long time ago, but I still teach course in sustainable tourism and marine environmental education to dive professionals, and portions of this book will become part of my curriculum. Keep ‘em coming, Darcy, we need more like you speaking truth to power." ~Alex Brylske
Editorial: "The most valuable book you can read."
"I want to stress must read. I’m serious when I say that this will be one of the most eye opening books about being a dive professional that you’ll ever read. And, it will also be the most valuable book you can read as it pertains to the business side of diving – specifically how to make money and enjoy life by being a dive professional." ~Tec Clark
Review: "Honest insight into the SCUBA industry's dysfunctional and outdated business model."
"The SCUBA industry has many disparate stakeholders, resulting in an incredibly fragmented business. As a consequence, the customer experience is inconsistent. This book provides an honest and compelling insight into the business and sets the foundation for much needed disruption to the model..." ~Lee Byrd
Your Career and/or Life as a Scuba Diving Instructor
Tired of working “9 to 5” and considering “living the dream” as a scuba diving instructor traveling from one tropical paradise to the next? It’s possible if you play your cards right. Most instructors don’t because they “wing it”. They dive headfirst, then check the depth of the pool or even if there is water in it!
This book is your companion to success as a dive instructor or divemaster and a valuable reference book for dive store and scuba diving resort owners and managers.
It is focused on providing information, tricks, and advice for scuba divers looking at earning a living in the dive industry. Yet, part-time scuba diving instructors will also find information to make this adventure a better one financially, be much safer, have more fun, and be more fulfilling.
This book is about going beyond being “a” professional to being professional and successful.
It won’t give you an MBA or any other kind of business degree, nor make you a dive instructor! This book is about helping you merge scuba diving, career management, and business management to identify a path leading you to “living the dream” while simultaneously making enough money to live.
It is also about “raising the bar” in the scuba diving industry to put us on a path to growth.
It is best to read this book before starting your scuba diving instructor course, but already certified dive instructors will also find plenty of food for thoughts and ideas for growth post-COVID-19 pandemic.
