Although there is never too much money in diving for a living (unless you are a commercial diver) to start working in the dive industry, I would offer this small bit of advice.. Stop wasting your money collecting cards and further your dive ratings.. Don’t get a bunch of specialty ratings that, honestly, mean nothing to anyone except you, and go get your Rescue Diver, Divemaster and above certs. Companies will be more interested in hiring "Pros" than they will card collectors. I was lucky enough to get hired on with a company a couple years ago to work as a safety diver with a TV production company for a few weeks. Prerequisite for that job was a minimum rating of Rescue Diver. They wouldn’t even consider people with a lower rating than that. Just a bit of friendly advice I can offer you. Good luck with it.
