All the people we meet here through our work coming to vacation on Cozumel are jealous of our jobs. They also complement us for quitting our (well paid ) jobs in England and trading the nice house, car and social security I for....... Living and working in an industry we absolutely love but doesn't offer all the above. "how can we do that" they ask us.. it is simple.. you just do it :)
Seeing sharks, turtles and even eagle rays is just another day at work. We have the privilege of swimming in such a beautiful surrounding and share it with others as well. We teach people who are new to diving to become comfortable in this world we absolutely love. We meet lots of new cool people that share our love for diving and that we have a blast with on the boat and off the boat.
Off course there are downsides to this job as well. It is not well paid and your running costs are high ( think about the money we spend to become instructors, our gear and insurance ) We work an average of 11 hours per day for an average of 10 days in a row (I know our next day off will now be next Sunday which will make it working 14 days straight), Doing 3/4 dives per day. It is exhausting but it doesn't make me hate my job. It does make me appreciate my bed more hahah lol.
We have had family come over which was absoulte AMAAAZING it was so cool to show them what we do ( and why the hell I look so tired when skyping hahaha). Soon I will write something about their visit as we were able to play tourist as well.
Ayoooooooo
