If I was a DM I love to work 4 to 4 1/2 months with no income ... I guess you can fish for food and put up a lean-to on the beach ...

Never been to Thailand ... Advanced to DiveMaster in 4 months ... Could be fun! Just remember that if you're dive computer randomly spikes a few hundred feet that either A) you need to check your buoyancy control or B) you were underneath a tsunami!!! Cheers!

Who wouldn't jump on a deal like this? almtree: Bob

if you worked for $7 an hour in the US for 4 and a half months, you would make bout $5,300, and that might include additional benefits. What does it cost to get this training in the U.S.A.?

If a diver already happened to be living close to this operation and had nothing to do, it might be worthwhile.

Is this through PADI, NAUI, SSI, or who?

Most Divemaster courses are in the low 1k range max.
