In the “Why the Blog?” post, I summarised how I got into diving, stopped diving, and subsequently started diving again after a 4088 day surface interval. The plan, as it stands, is to become an instructor and head into technical diving. The steps to becoming an instructor sound simple enough: Dive Guide Dive Master Assistant Instructor Instructor  Of course, that’s just the beginning of the dive professional journey. I should probably mention at this point – without getting into agency wars – that I’m training on the SSI pathway.
