Do you think a scuba diving instructor gets sick of the daily commute to work, getting stuck in traffic or being on a cramped train or bus? Are you tired of grey spring/autumn/winter days and summer days that you only get to enjoy through a window because you are trapped in the office, car or train? Are you bored of doing the same thing day in day out? Are you thinking about a career change? If so then you might want to consider becoming a scuba diving professional.
Want to live and work on the beach as a scuba diving instructor?
Here at Big Blue Diving, we offer the Zero to Hero package that will take you from Open Water Diver all the way up to being a Scuba Instructor.
If you ask 90% of our dive staff, they will tell you that they came to Koh Tao on a holiday then fell in love with the laid back island lifestyle and the family feel that Big Blue Diving Koh Tao has to offer. I for one can fall into that category, having come to Koh Tao in 2006 as a very new and quite nervous Open Water Diver, I proceeded in doing a refresher then my Advanced Diving Course. The nerves soon disappeared once I realised the standard of care, patience and professionalism mixed in with a huge dose of fun and great people was just perfect. It wasn’t long before I had made the phone call home informing the folks that I wouldn’t be returning as planned and that I am now a DMT (Divemaster in Training). Just about 3 months later I was lucky enough to be working as a Divemaster for Big Blue Diving!
Now a scuba diving instructor for 8 years, the rest they say is history. It is now 2020 and Koh Tao is home.
