Work opportunities for the PADI professional have never been better, especially in Southeast Asia. After a huge increase in certifications in the 1990's, recreational diving continue to expand all over the world. Almost anywhere there's a tropical island, you'll probably find a dive shop with a PADI Instructor. And this means you can get a job in scuba diving in a lot of cool places, including Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Maldives, or on the Red Sea. In colder climates, more and more people are being trained prior to travelling to these exotic new destinations so the market at home continues to expand as well.
Despite a general economic downturn in Southeast Asia, the tourism economy continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Due to Philippine government promotions and devalued currencies, tourism arrivals are increasing.
Political changes in several areas, including Vietnam, China, Indonesia, Burma and especially the Philippines, have opened up further opportunities for new dive centres. As travel becomes easier, divers are some of the first to explore the new frontiers. The Philippines offers you one of the most beautiful and manifold diving anywhere.
Southeast Asian countries are quickly gaining in popularity as the areas of choice for discerning travellers as infrastructure improves and airfares become less expensive. The Philippines get the tourist in with three attractive International Airports in Manila, Cebu City and Davao.
