Quote History Quoted:
Since I start my Divemaster candidacy on Monday, I appreciate hearing people's experiences. I love to teach things that I have a passion for, and I hope that I'll be a solid teacher, and eventually instructor. I plan on assisting as many classes as possible, while working on getting my DM cert.

Listen to your customers. Knowing their needs and wants, brings them back. Offer help or advice when asked, don't interject yourself into their outings.
When underwater hang slightly above and behind the class while the instructor leads. Learn where the dump valves are and practice pulling them without the diver feeling it or seeing you do it.
Know exactly where they all are at all times.
When they are practicing skills, be on top and behind of the student as they are doing the skill with the instructor. If they bolt you'll be in a position to stop them.
Know exactly where they all are at all times.
When leading/guiding a dive go slow, agonizingly slow. You've seen everything on that site. They haven't. Learn to swim on your back and maintain buoyancy.
Know exactly where they all are at all times.
Have fun. If you aren't having fun, they aren't having fun.
