Additional Skills & Experiences That Can Help You Excel
You definitely need to go through divemaster and dive instructor training.
In college, after a brief stint as a Biology major, I transitioned into French literature. Studying French literature and France in general taught me a lot about communication, art and culture, government and history and how to think from another person's point of view. In order to perform my job best, I need a flexible, creative mind that is receptive to learning.
