“It was so awesome that if I could do it again I would. It was fun and professional; I had a great time. It’s about living your dream.” – Juan Carlos Montejo
When was the last time you said, “I love my job”?
Like Juan Carlos said, becoming a PADI open water scuba diving instructor is about living your dream but it’s also about life transformations – both his and those around him.
San Pedro is an island in transition; the fishing village has been swallowed buy a booming tourist industry. Vocations that were once viable are swallowed along with it.
Tourist Guides, Divemasters and SCUBA Instructors are a natural vocational transition for those with knowledge of boats and the sea. After many years playing and working in the sea, and working at White Sands Dive Shop, Juan Carlos Montejo has joined the ranks of the elite with his recent certification as SCUBA Instructor.
A special thanks to PADI Course Director Angel Navarro Moya and his Prodive IDC Team and congrats to the Newest SCUBA Instructor in the World.
