Dive Master Training in Roatan

[Luke McHugh]

I am looking to go for a dive master internship, hopefully in Roatan. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts and suggestions as which shop to go through. I am leaning towards Coconut Tree divers but I'm open to going to another shop or even another destination. Any info about these internships would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing wrong getting dm rating overseas..BUT stop and think about where you plan on actually using this rating. Plan on using it locally in NJ ? Good luck. Most, if not all, dive facilities will not use a dm that they did not train. Why should they? Same goes for instr training. Why go thru the time and expense if not able to make use of it? Unless you can bring something of great value to the facility they will give any available positions and opportunities to dive pro that was started as a customer and they trained who knows the local scene and shop practices.
