I have only ever heard of this situation existing locally once, and I think it is pretty horrible that they would certify this person at all because to grant someone the title of diveMASTER when they aren't good at it, denigrates the title.

This sounds terrible and very dangerous!!!

You start every day at 7, you end every day at five. However, unlike the horrible "office-space" type job I had before, I didn't hate my alarm clock, I was excited about going to work and so were the other dive professionals that I worked with every day. I was only making about $30 a day, but instead of reporting to a cubicle, this became my office.

At the end, bein happy with what you are doing is the best reward
