there is plenty of programs to do just that. I Have this book, its called Gap Year. It is filled with jobs and adventures. They have scuba training offered by hotels resorts and torist travel equipment and alot of them train you so you will then work for their resort as a certified diver. you can find some of these programs and internships if you do some googleing
Step 1: Take your Open Water certification.4 days
Step 2: Take the Advanced certification 2 days
Step 3: Rescue Diver 3-4 days
Step 4: PADI Divemaster (STUDY and pay attention. DIVE LOTS) Takes 4-6 weeks depending on where you are.
Step 5: Instructor Developement 2 weeks
Step 6: Instructor Exam 2 days
You need 6 months experience and at least 100 dives to do the exam, do more than that! Also 18yrs ancient for Divemaster.
PADI is the way to go. They certify more than any other and there are more jobs available for PADI instructors.
I got certified in Open Water Diving in February and became and Instructor in September.
