Have you heard about the Great Eight must see marine life on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia? If not continue reading...

Working in the dive industry as an instructor, teaches you a lot about people... the more you teach, the more people you meet, the more you learn!

This week Robbie covers going from Divemaster to Scuba Diving Instructor.

Australia is one big island and the Queensland mainland coastline alone is nearly 7,000 kilometres. It is near impossible to list all the Queensland beaches but here is our top 10 beaches in Queensland; from Palm Cove to 75 Mile Beach, Fraser Island... so come along and discover our top 10 beaches.

Divemaster is the next step you should consider if you want to become a professional diver and take you passion to the next level.

Now, as I mentioned in my last Barrier Reef Australia blog, Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) is the first step in a tell all for both the student and the instructor as to whether or not there is a possibility that the student could complete a scuba diver or open water course. If you can recall, in the DSD, there is a mask clearing exercise as well as recovering a regulator and placing it back in the mouth. These two basic skills must be completed without the diver returning to the surface. They are quite simple but some people just can’t get passed them. But for those who do, and show potential, instructors will recommend that the individual continue on and become a certified scuba diver. Honestly, in the long run, it’s much cheaper if they are fully certified.
