Great Whites are a cold water shark. Yes you can find one off Rhode Island, though your chances get better the further north you go.. As for Australia being the place to go, not really. South Africa actually gives you better odds to dive with one as does the area around Patagonia, heck...anywhere the water temperature is 75 F to 55 F.

Hi, well if you're in London I recommend Diving Leisure, they are knowledgeable and stock good equipment at reasonable prices and they're great fun to chat to.  \nhttp://www.divingleisurelondon.co.uk\n\nIf you're not in London then the Mike's Waterfront Warehouse chain is pretty good and worth a look in.  \n\nIf you can you should check out the Dive Shows as very often shops do special deals for the show.  Always worth a look in.

In reference to a6egf's answer. That isn't going to work. BSAC doesn't keep records on PADI divers.\n Going back to Guam isn't going to be cheap either.\n This can all be done online, here   http://www.padi.com/padi/en/kd/c-card/default.aspx\n Download the form and mail it to PADI.\nAlternatively, you can go to your local PADI dive shop and do it through them. Each PADI shop can access PADI's database on the part of the part of their web site that you can't see, the PADI Pro. You need privileges to get into that area.

I would take three approaches:\na)  Search on the internet for PADI, SSI, NAUI and NASDS.\nb)  I would serach for scuba sites on the web (such as scuba Board)\nc) I would go in person to one or more local dive shops and talk to them.\n\nGood luck!

Absolutely.  If you can find a quiet secluded place to build a getaway resort like this, you would do well.  As long as the fishing is good, lol\n\nYou wouldn't want to be too remote thought, you don't want it to be difficult to get to.

It's quite possible and it's going to depend on what social programs are available where you live. Here , in Canada there are a number of social assistance programs that offer money to switch careers. Everything from student loans from the provinces to full grants from the federal government under the un employment insurance act. I for one, used an Ontario student loan for my commercial diver training.\n\n Edit: Scubapro does have a point about doing grunt work in exchange for certs. But I'd still look into any government assistance in your area. Also, by going that route, the training facility will have to meet your funding program's requirements. This will help you obtain not only better training, but probably some job placement help as well. I agree with scubapro, in that divers are a dime a dozen, lining up to work at resorts.

It depends where you're going to work, and what kind of employment package you get. From personal experience of working in the Red Sea, Dominican Republic, Cyprus and Australia, what you get is what you agree with your employer!\n\nThe best deal I ever got was with Extra Divers in Makadi Bay (Egypt) - we got a starting salary of Euro520 per month (going up to 600 after two months, 800 after one year), plus commissions based on how many certifications the dive centre issued per month (worth between Euro500-1000, depending on the season - it was a busy centre!), plus accommodation, plus two meals a day from the staff kitchen (although the food wasn't that good!)\n\nThe worst was probably the Dominican Republic, where the boss was an ***hole, and tried to pay us in Dominican Pesos (which lost one third of their value in the six months I was there). Salary was worth about US$350 per month (before devaluation!), commissions were a joke, accommodation was provided, but we had to eat in the hotel staff canteen for lunch, which was awful, AND the diving conditions were not that good either!\n\nFew tips if you're working in the Third world: first, make sure you'll get paid in hard currency (US$, Euro, or GBP) - for sure the boss is taking hard currency payments from the guests! Secondly, buy a return ticket good for at least the first three months - that way you've got an exit if you need it. Thirdly, check out diving websites where your prospective dive centre is rated, ideally by both guests and staff - but if the guests weren't happy with the service, that tells you the staff aren't happy working there
