Scuba Gear – Scuba Equipment

What qualifications/ experience do I need to work in a dive shop in the UK?

Hi! I am joining the Royal Navy Reserve and have applied to be a Diver. They have told me that the best thing I can do to better my chances is to find a day-job in a SCUBA equipment shop.

Assuming I can find a dive equipment shop as opposed to an actual diving club, where I’d need to be a PADI Master Diver, what quals/ experience would they look for in a young junior? I’d be happy just to mop the floor and make the tea!

I am qualified to basic open water.

Thanks!

noting i dont think

How much should I pay for SCUBA equipment?
