A Day in the Life of a Scuba Dive Master Trainee

Taking you guys with me on a typical day training to become a Scuba Dive Master. Where we go through fun informative workshops, constant diving to improve your skillset and buoyancy control, and just all around good fun here in the island of Koh Tao, Thailand

You were able to get some really amazing footage underwater. The colors were so clear! I loved it! I am looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@flanikent]

Thats great I don't remember my divemaster training being fun! I remember learning how to keep people from killing themselves under water :)

[@outdooroutpost6061]

[@matthewrubin2626]

6:09 That air tank is falling of your back...

[@kotro88]

That's what an entry like that (6:04) gets you......

[@pera_krn]

@@kotro88 Basicly what my instructor told me, that happened from not making those straps tight enough. At long as he got his buddy near him, his buddy can help him.

[@traveling_tikiman5073]

Didn’t know you scuba dive. In bonds group -didn’t figure you did that

[@terrencestella9215]

Thanks for the vid! Lovin' it, can't wait to get started myself!

[@ForrestLee]

Terrence Stella it’s a ton of fun and you’ll improve significantly and fix anything you’re weak at... enjoy!

[@eastcoastbreed5511]

Where were you? Philippines? I'm currently working on rescue diver cert. How has your career moved forward since this video?

[@Jack3dBrett]

Hey bro did you end up getting your DM rating? Wondering if youve done any work as a DM and if there is enough money to be made overseas doing it. Did a dive trip in the S Andamen a few years back and always wanted go back and get my DM rating be a freelance dive guide. Wondering if you had any input.

[@farangfarang2]

Have you seen a sea horse yet? When is the visibility poor? Can you say that it’s usually bad when...? X amount of Rain , wind at a certain level, waves at a certain height, low tide, high tide, full moons, etc.

[@PeterPetahPetah]

Hi, would you mind sharing which dive shop in Koh Tao you did your divemaster training? I’m also thinking about getting my divemaster certification and just like you, I’m a frugal asian as well, lol Thank you!

[@ForrestLee]

PeterPetahPetah I went with Buddha View Dive Resort over in Chalok... between here and Belize, you can’t get it any cheaper!

[@MORITEZZ]

Do divemasters earn well ? Im thinking of taking a course so I need to consider how much ill be getting paid on a average cause I dont wanna be broke

[@edstraker8451]

It depends on many factors. I earn about 265k a year doing this in Antarctica and Java.

[@046_venkateshmk5]

sidialpinestars thank you! 🙏🏼

[@dizhu4648]

Buddha view !!!

[@Tadpole0110]

I'm going t be *that* person, please understand that i'm not attacking you, but... Were your weights uncovered? Lead is toxic and it will seep into the water. I'm guessing the weights belong to the dive centre. Please give them a call and ask them to replace their weights, or get them covered in plastic. If the people who enjoy the sea the most can't be bothered to protect it, who will? For more information google "heavy metal poisoning". Otherwise I love your vid, especially your divemater coordinator. Thailand is on my list, haven't got there yet though.

[@pera_krn]

In my opinion, lead is not toxic until it stays there for LONG enough. *In my opinion.*
