Commission based or fixed scuba diving instructor salary

Most scuba diving instructor salaries are commission-based. This means that you paid a commission (usually 20% of the course price) per student or fun diver. This is great if you work in a place where you can get a lot of scuba diving students, but not so good if you work at a dive shop that only has a few students per month. If you do get a lot of students then a commission-based scuba diving instructor salary usually pays more than a fixed salary.

A fixed scuba diving instructor salary usually pays less than commission-based, but it is steady and you can rely on an income even if it might be less busy at the dive shop that month. The average fixed scuba diving instructor salary is around 1500 USD per month.

In most cases, you can increase the commission-based or fixed scuba diving instructor salary by upselling more scuba diving courses, dive equipment, snorkeling trips, or other excursions. This truly set’s diving instructors apart in how much money they earn per month.

A scuba diving instructor salary is higher for people with a good attitude

Most people that complain they don’t earn enough money as a scuba diving instructor are usually people that can work on their attitude. This can be hard as people with bad attitudes usually don’t know they have them.

Scuba diving instructors with a great attitude usually find work much easier, keep their scuba jobs, and move up the ranks to higher positions later. But most importantly their students love the way they teach and now want to invest more money to stay with them on other courses, and are more willing to buy scuba equipment or trust their advice for other excursions, etc. These upselling commissions can increase a scuba diving instructor's salary significantly at the end of the month.

Sometimes we see scuba diving instructors with great attitudes still not earning a lot of money. This is because they are working in the wrong location or for a badly managed dive shop. However, if they never get a good scuba diving instructor salary, then it usually is because they need to get a better attitude for their customers to be willing to spend more money on their advice.
