LEARN TO TEACH WHAT YOU LOVE
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The formula for happiness is really quite simple: Define what it is that you love to do and then get people to pay you for doing it.
This is the reason why many certified divers and water-loving people like yourself often choose to continue their path all the way up to PADI Instructor. With Scuba Dogs you have two (2) options: Teach Swim & Water Safety or teach SCUBA.
Following you’ll find the information. Please consider Scuba Dogs as you follow the path to an extraordinary life doing what you love. ♥
