Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me clarify the different requirements placed on freedive instructors by each of the major certifying agencies (AIDA, SSI, and PADI)?
What are the start up and ongoing costs of maintaining active membership as an instructor?
What fees need to be paid to the certifying agencies for certification of a single student?
For PADI and SSI, must the instructor be attached to a dive shop or dive operator, or can they "freelance" and certify directly through the agency?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
