Hi! I'm looking for advice on where in the world to do my Divemaster course.
Currently I'm a rescue diver with about 200 dives. I've worked as an underwater videographer in the Cayman Islands and in Koh Tao and spent three years traveling with my boyfriend who was working as a Staff Instructor, so I'm somewhat familiar with the industry. This year I won a continuing education grant from the Women Divers' Hall of Fame and so I'm finally going to do my Divemaster!
I'm considering options around the globe and Bali or the Gilis always comes up. I have a strong feeling I would love it there but... the timeline I'm looking at is Jan-April and from what I'm reading this is the worst time of the year for weather. Any thoughts?
I'm looking for a balance of diving and a youthful, fun lifestyle. Which is to say I dont want to do it in Koh Tao, for example, where the lifestyle is fantastic but Im not excited by the diving... and I dont want to do it in some remote Caribbean island were the diving is mind-blowing but the mood is too relaxed and there won't be independent travelers around. In my ideal world I'd find a place where there will be other Divemasters, good diving, good party and some non-diving activities.
Anyway if anyone can give me a recommendation and information about the diving or lifestyle or weather in Indonesia I'd really appreciate it!
