Start a new job doing something you love!
Are you looking for a new job or are you looking to obtain qualifications and skills that last a lifetime during your Gap Year? If you are, Gap Year Diver can provide training for you to meet such goals.
One of the most rewarding factors of being an instructor is that you'll be working and doing something which is fun, rewarding and hopefully something that you love. Everyday there's opportunities to meet a lot of great people and also train people from novice and watch them progress all the way to Divemaster or even Instructor - a hugely gratifying experience. You'll also learn a lot as well about yourself, what you can achieve and be taught comprehensive theory and skills covering maths, biology, physics, history, physiology and communication skills. What other sport really allows you to learn while having so much fun?

You will need to work and apply yourself on the Instructor level courses. A lot of work is involved.
