    My wife Tanya has passed advanced and my daughter Juley is now a qualified Dive master. I hope that she can now go and travel/work and then complete Instructors

      Nice!! I’d recommmend for your daughter to work at least half a year as a DM before becoming an instructor. Doing so will make the IE a breeze. Especially if she doesn’t have that many dives yet. Thailand is a great spot to start a diving career. Plenty of dive schools and opportunities.Indonesia is a bit more rewarding marine-life-wise, but it is usually harder finding a job.
