Congratulations as well! I hope you had a really taxing course that tested you significantly. Sadly I come across too many PADI DMs who seemed to do very little and learn even less on their courses.
How long was your course? In Britain it used to be the norm, and I believe it still is, for DM "courses" to be internships lasting at least a year. Here in a resort environment of course people expect instant gratification, but I refuse to do even an intensive course in less than three weeks, and then I warn the graduates that all they have done is learn the basics and they have a long way to go until they can truly regard themselves as divemasters.
finally a DM
