Dive Master Assist - Complete

I have completed all of my assists, 3 open waters, 2 advanced open waters, 2 rescue, 1 discover scuba, and 1 scuba review, and I have to say that I have learned a lot about the type of dive professional I want to be. I feel like through my 9 assists over the past 2 weeks I have seen just about everything, from behavior that would be considered harassment in most industries, but is mostly taken with good humor among divers, to teaching techniques I would never repeat to those I would emulate completely.  I also had so much fun getting to know the instructors and the students. 
There is something super fulfilling in sharing your passion with others and seeing that passion blossom in them. Three of the students in my open water groups even continued straight through to the Dive Master program. How rad is that!  I also received a ton of great feedback from my instructors, which coming from these guys means the world to me.  I can't wait to go to the next level with my training and join the ranks of instructor!!!
A special thanks to all of my instructors for being amazing - Lianne, Micky, Ryan, Rich, Becky, Santi, Hanno, Allison, CK and Antony. 

My open water group with Becky and Santi...more than half continued on to their advanced open water and one went on to rescue and dive master!

Antony's open water crew....all but one went on to advanced open water, three went on to rescue, and one went on to DM!

Our little diving family showed CK some love on his birthday

Antony ... you are a legend! Dive briefings were awesome

My students <3
