I am a medical doctor in my late twenties based in the UK. I am looking to take a career break to travel and do my dive master. I am qualified up to rescue diver with about 80 dives logged.
I would maybe want to combine my medical career with diving one day. However, my main motivation is to learn more, to get more dives under my belt and to travel. I have the following questions for the board please:
1) Where would you recommend I did my dive master (currently looking at the Philippines).
2) Anyone had experience with marine conservation in Philipines or Thresher Shark Divers?
3) How many dives would I end up logging roughly after a 8 week period.
4) Is a dive master worth doing if I do not intend to necessarily work as a DM?
Thank you in advance
Luke
