Well, one of the options we discussed last night was for her to contact her new boss and discuss with him the possibility of doing a divemaster - Instructor internship with me. That brings its own considerations - do i take 6 months unpaid leave from work and I hope I have a job to return to or do I see where diving takes me and jump in with both feet? To be honest, I wasn't really interested to think about being an instructor at this stage - just want to make myself a safer diver with the option available to assist / teach.

Why is nothing ever simple?! If I'm honest, it's the finance side of my DMT that worries me!!
