I highly recommend the Big Island of Hawaii. The underwater lava formations make for some GREAT diving, it's kind of lick diving on some strange planet but underwater of course. Good visibility, Great wildlife, check it out! They also have a night time Manta Ray dive with hughe manta rays, there is nothing like it. Have fun.

try the padi website, or go to japan's website (every country has it's own website, or the embassy does anyway,...) and search for scuba diving, or check hotels near the coast line and see if they've got anything

I've been to Miami several times and gone diving there while on vacations from Chicago.\n\nBut since my dive buddy moved from there about six months ago, I haven't been back.

First ...There are so many factors to consider,\n\n-where do you want to work? locally, close to the ocean but in the states, out of country?\n-full time/part time .. which do you want to work?  which is available?\n-what are the payment policies of the companies where you want to work?\n\nSo, the best way to find out is pick your spot and call around the shops and ask.\n\nThis is almost like asking what a good accountant can earn?  Where? What are your skills? What's your experience?  What company?  and so on.\n\nWhen I was an instructor some guys from my dive shop and others on the island would earn hourly rates, a cut of the dive fees, or a cut of the business .. just depending on the shop and their seniority.\n\nSecond ... "a really good under water job".    I used to instruct on St John in the Virgin Islands.  On a fabulous day, I might get 4 dives in (2 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 night).  On a great day, I would get 3 dives.  On an average day, I might get 2.  Then there were the days when I had to work on the boat, repair tanks, clean bilges, fill the spare tanks, etc .. and got 0 dives.  And then there were the bad weather days, slow days, no guest days, etc.\n\nOver 2 years I did get 500+ dives in, but realize that I was working 6 days a week.  That's roughly 600 days.  So, on average, I got 1 dive per day .. one 30 to 60 minute dive per day .. on average.  The rest of the time is REAL work.  I don't mean to burst any bubbles here ... I loved my time in the Caribbean, and being a scuba instructor was great, but unless you fall into a senior spot with a shop that is always busy with multiple boats and dives per day, then you probably won't be spending a ton of time in the water.

There are a number of places to dive.  I would suggest visiting a local dive store (LDS) and checking: a) on any books they have on local shore dives; b) any shop dives they do (typically these are free shore dives); and c) any local charters they do.  Heck, visit more than one LDS (i.e., fifth dimension, silent world, UWS, etc.)\n\nI think Titlow beach near Tacoma is nice as is the Edmonds underwater park.  Octopus hole and Sund Rock on Hood Canal can also be decent.  Many do the Alki area as well.  I would probably pick Edmonds but that is personal taste.  (Full dsiclosurte:  I have not done any in the San Juans, Strat of Juan de Fuca, etc. which are all likely to be much better)\n\nIn any event, the shop dives are a great way to find out about an area and do the dive with a  group who knows the area.  Then you can decide if you want to put it on your regular rotation.  The local charters (i.e., Bandido, et. al.) are also a good way to see some non-shore based sites.  Finally, the books describe many great locations.\n\nTwo final observations:  Currents matter around here and it is best to dive at slack or ebb -- check a current table and plan your dive accordingly.  Viz is better in the winter and, I think, tends to be better at high tide.

well im still an open water diver with no much experience, but i have to say, my best dive was Boracay island, Philippines and we brought pieces of bread along and when we took it out we suddenly surrounded buy all kinds of fish, i tried sticking the bread to my mask so the fish had to come near me to get the bread and so i could get a good look at them, wow it was really awsome.\nIf ever you happen to pass by the Philippines i suggest you go to boracay island for a dive it is great and not very expensive either and plus the beaches are really nice too.\n\nGood luck.

I would suggest visiting a local dive store (LDS) and checking: a) on any buddy lists they may have; b) any shop dives they do (typically these are free shore dives); c) any dive clubs in the area they are aware of; and d) any local charters they do. Heck, visit more than one LDS!\n\nAlso, taking an advanced class might allow you to also meet new people.
