Dressel divers Mexico - Scuba Diving Instructor Dressel Divers Employee Review

I was instructor for some weeks in Dressel divers in Mexico. First of all, it is not a PADI dive center but a SDI one. • To all of you thinking of doing an internship in Dressel divers: you have to know what you sign for. You won’t get much experience underwater (one dive in the morning) the rest of the time you will be at the pool doing free demo for the client of the resort. You have to make a certain number of sales a month in order to keep your internship, else you will be fired and not touch your commission. The management will spy on you (hide in bushes, take pictures of you if you look at your phone…) during work hours • to all the instructors: if you are passionate about diving, if you love to be underwater, teach and learn from others… Dressel is not for you. The instructors there are either very new (most of them still intern and not getting paid), or /and very bad and can’t get hired anywhere else, and/or are very money driven. For the client of the resort diving is just an activity like parasailing or jetski, so theory and courses are rush to be finished quick. 2 Open water dives with 4 students can be combined into 45 minutes dives in order to win some times, even when the quality manager (course director) is attending the course… standard: 0 Dressel: 1 You will be picked up in Playa Del Carmen between 6 and 6.30 in the morning, and won’t come back before 18.30 since the resort is more or less 30minutes to 1 hour drive. The pool of the resort are dirty, all the employees get eye or hear infection. You won’t get your visa with them until you paid 1000$
