Time for a Change of Lifestyle? Time to be C.O.L.

A career in diving can break you out of a nine-to-five rut, or open the door to adventurous part-time or full-time possibilities. Like many careers, PADI dive professionals are envied for the lifestyles they lead. Divemasters schedule and plan dives on yachts, as do Instructors, who also get to teach. Instructor Trainers travel to the world’s most exotic locations, while PADI employees are the eyes and ears of the dive industry. What do all these people share? They are all diverse individuals who love their jobs. There are endless possibilities and paths are available to take advantage of through PADI, it only takes desire to make it happen. Why not get paid for something that you love to do anyway?

As a PADI Member, you are a part of the most successful company in the industry. There are more than 4000 (and growing) PADI Dive Centers and Resorts around the world, and an overwhelming majority of dive operations are PADI Members. At any given time, there are more positions available for PADI leaders than there are dive professionals to fill them. The bottom line is that whatever dive career path you choose, your PADI credentials will get you where you want to go, faster and easier.

The Change of Life-Style Package takes you from a non-diver to a very experience instructor. There is no better way to start your diving career then being C.O.L.

Comments:
I did my DM course there in 2005, the english manager Dino and the New Zea lander instructor Paul, complained and winding about Europeans have paid vacation and there for had to contribute with work, like be a boat master without any supervision and we became fully responsible for all rescue operations, of course they did this changes after we paid for DM course. What was confusing was no one even told the students what to do, nor gave any instructions what a boat master was supposed to do, you just had a roaster in your hand and stand there like a dickhead. One way to get around this was to take the equipment and go down to the beach and dive to get the number of dives. There was also IDC students who did the same thing. A few of us protested and the manager started to shouting and became aggressive, nice way to treat customers. When I did my openwater assistance I was shocked, the first dive, students was taken down to 18 meters at the shark island in KOH TAO. The training was not the best, the dive theory was not that important. Every 2-3 days new DM students showed up and was mixt with the rest DM students witch became a mess, it was quit disorganized. Nobody checked the acknowledge reviews in the DM-manual.
There where 2 English fellows who had to move the dive equipment shop from one building to the other for 2 weeks, they paid full price for the DM course? Why according to the manager they had paid vacation period!!!! Ridiculous!!! Be aware of the danish course director and his package courses, you wont get any refund even if you give them one month advance notice before you start the course. Hi comes up with all kind of excuses not to pay you back, he rip you of, don't expect any help from PADI.
