FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I work in the dive industry with a level 3 rescue diver certification?
The rescue diver certification is not considered to be on a professional level yet. In this condition you can not obtain insurance, so can not work in the water. To work in the dive industry, you need to obtain your level 4 dive master certification, which is the next step, almost there!
