Scuba diving in Cozumel, Mexico
This was our first time scuba diving. We dove with Eagle Ray Divers in Cozumel, Mexico on April 19, 2007 and are probably among the few Hyderabadis to have tried it …and hopefully we’ll try to change that. This is one adventure you should try at least once in your life time. The video was shot using Sony HDR HC1 by Miguel (cozumeldigitalcreations@yahoo.com).

Crewing On A Scuba Diving Boat – Pay?
I am a certified PADI diver looking to crew on a dive boat in the Florida Keys. How much would a low level crew member make (not dive instructor-just basic crew). Are you paid only when the boat goes out?
No dive outfit would hire just a "basic crewperson". They'd want you to be at least a Dive Master or above. It's called killing two birds with one stone. One body on the boat doing two jobs instead of two bodies doing those jobs. Space is at a premium on any charter boat.
You'll then be paid what the going rate is for that cert level and demand, in that area and your level of experience. It may be 12-20 bucks an hour it may be a flat rate per trip. Then there's tips.

scuba diving instructor, visa?
I've heard that scuba diving instructor can work all over the world like Egypt or Thailand etc. How do they obtain work permit or visa?
As Doug says… you have to go to the individual country and apply there. The pay isn't brilliant, it's something you definitely do for the love of the job, not for the money, but it's usually enough to get you by, and many companies will pay you a percentage of the courses you teach in an effort to top up your salary and encourage you to keep promoting teaching.
Every country has its' own rules for work permits and visas etc., and you need to be going somewhere that has a shortage of instructors. You'll only be granted a work permit – for the most part – if local instructors can't be found to do the same thing, or you bring something different to the table, ie foreign languages, specialities, etc.
It's not such a bad life though!
Florida Keys Scuba Diving – Fishing Vication
The Florida Keys is an archipelago of about 1700 islands in the southeast United States. They begin at the southeastern tip of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles south of Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern tip of Key West is just 98 miles (157 km) from Cuba. The Florida Keys are between about 23.5 and 25.5 degrees North latitude, in the subtropics. The climate of the Keys however, is defined as tropical according to Köppen climate classification. More than 95 percent of the land area lies in Monroe County, but a small portion extends northeast into Miami-Dade County, primarily in the city of Islandia, Florida. The total land area is 355.6 km² (137.3 sq mi). As of the 2000 census the population was 79,535, with an average density of 223.66/km² (579.27/sq mi), although much of the population is concentrated in a few areas of much higher density, such as the city of Key West, which has 32% of the entire population of the Keys.
The city of Key West is the county seat of Monroe County, which consists of a section on the mainland which is almost entirely in Everglades National Park, and the Keys islands from Key Largo to the Dry Tortugas.
The Florida Keys are the exposed portions of an ancient coral reef, with very little sand. The northernmost island arising from the ancient reef formation is Elliott Key, in Biscayne National Park. North of Elliott Key are several small transitional keys, composed of sand built up around small areas of exposed ancient reef. Further north, Key Biscayne and places north are barrier islands, built up of sand.[1]
The Florida Keys have taken their present form as the result of the drastic changes in sea level ociated with recent glaciations or ice ages. Beginning some 130,000 years ago the Sangamon interglacial raised sea levels to approximately 25 feet (7.5 m.) above the current level. All of southern Florida was covered by a shallow sea. Several parallel lines of reef formed along the edge of the submerged Florida plateau, stretching south and then west from the present Miami area to what is now the Dry Tortugas. This reef formed the Key Largo limestone that is exposed on the surface from Soldier Key (midway between Key Biscayne and Elliott Key) to the southeast portion of Big Pine Key and the Newfound Harbor Keys. The types of coral that formed Key Largo limestone can be identified on the exposed surface of these keys.
Starting about 100,000 years ago the Wisconsin glaciation began lowering sea levels, exposing the coral reef and surrounding marine sediments. By 15,000 years ago the sea level had dropped to 300 to 350 feet below the contemporary level. The exposed reefs and sediments were heavily eroded. Acidic water, which can result from decaying vegetation, dissolves limestone. Some of the dissolved limestone redeposited as a denser cap rock, which can be seen as outcrops overlying the Key Largo and Miami limestones throughout the Keys. The limestone that eroded from the reef formed oolites in the shallow sea behind the reef, and together with the skeletal remains of bryozoans, formed the Miami limestone that is the current surface bedrock of the lower Florida peninsula and the lower keys from Big Pine Key to Key West. To the west of Key West the ancient reef is covered by recent calcareous sand.
