You are thinking about becoming a divemaster or scuba diving instructor and you want to know about the dive industry. How much do we earn? What do I need to be successful? Is it really fun? How long does it take? Is it tough to find a job? And a million other questions... Right?
If you are in Quebec or Eastern Canada and can come for a coffee in Montreal, your best bet is to meet Darcy Kieran. Why should you? You might think he just wants to sell you some courses...?
Well... Darcy Kieran is the owner of Total Diving and, yes, he likes it when people like you take scuba diving courses at Total Diving - Montreal Scuba! But Darcy is much more than that!
Since he became a PADI Course Director in 2000, he's provided many scuba diving professionals with one-on-one counselling sessions. Fine! We all like talking about scuba diving! But what's more interesting for you is that he continues to offer regular advices to scuba diving instructors he's trained through the years. It's not just about offering counselling to sell you courses, it's about establishing a relationship that will last for the rest of your career as a dive professional.
Instructors around the World regularly call him for advices on issues they are facing in their market. If you've completed your dive professional training at Total Diving, we will support you for the rest of your life - as much as we can, of course!
Meeting Darcy Kieran is about picking his brain and benefiting from a depth of experience recognized around the world. Think about it... He's not just an award-winning PADI Course Director who owns the only PADI Career Development Center in Eastern Canada and one of the largest dive shops in Canada. He's also the first EFR Examiner authorized by PADI outside the EFR/PADI staff. He's one of only a handful of DAN Examiners in the world. He sits on the International PADI Advisory Committee. He's a TecDeep and TecTrimix Instructor Trainer for technical diving. He owned and operated dive charters on the St. Lawrence. He's the head of scuba diving training for the University of Montreal. He's called on as an expert on scuba diving. He's one of only two PSI instructors in Quebec.
You want in-depth dive business experience to get your own scuba diving career on the tright track? Darcy Kieran is the Founding President of The Business of Diving Institute, Your Business Buddy in Boca Raton, Florida, and he owns Beuchat Canada, a Canadian distributor of scuba diving, freediving and snorkeling gear. Recently, he was elected by international dive industry leaders on the Board of Directors of DEMA, the Diving Equipment and Marketing Association located in San Diego, California.
Enough bragging! Why should you care? The point is...
And... He's not alone! You can count on a strong team of coaches!
