With hundreds of countries and varying divers’ interests, shortlisting the world’s best scuba diving destinations is certainly pretty tough.

My name is Eleonora, and I just turned 19. I am now a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, and this is my story.

It all started in 2012 when I was on holiday in Abu Dabbab, Egypt. My parents decided to give me a completely new experience for my tenth birthday — a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience.

Scuba diving jobs offer fantastic travel opportunities and a great way of life. They can also pay well. If living your underwater dreams and making money at the same time sounds like a dream to you, it’s time to become a professional diver. In this blog, we take a look at high paying jobs for scuba divers. Keep in mind that many of these careers will require training above and beyond recreational diving.

Anyone who has ever been scuba diving or has a curiosity about the world beneath the surface knows how special an experience with sharks and rays can be. Although we all want to have a memorable time with one of these creatures, not everyone knows the best protocols for when they actually see a shark or ray underwater. However, diving and snorkeling using the best practices for interactions with sharks and rays is vital. It’s the best way to protect both yourself and the animals.
