Today’s guest is Darcy Kieran and he has just written a must read book for dive pro’s, it’s entitled Your Career And/Or Life As A Scuba Diving Instructor: How to make a good living out of your passion for diving.
Now I want to stress must read. I’m serious when I say that this will be one of the most eye opening books about being a dive professional that you’ll ever read. And, it will also be the most valuable book you can read as it pertains to the business side of diving – specifically how to make money and enjoy life by being a dive professional.
One listener a few weeks ago wrote me and said I don’t know if I can be an instructor, it’s just not paying the bills. Well if your in that same boat I’m telling you – get this book!!
