Question DM/conservation internship

[Anna.rose]

Looking for research type internships/ Dive master with a strong focus and marine conservation and learning preferably with an NGO. My backround is in medicine and psychology but in very intetested in marine life and conservation. I have report writing and basic data analysis experiance.

I would love to spend 2-3 months around likeminded people, learning, improving my diving and hopfully supporting project's.

I only have 40 dives and Advanced open water but am keen to improve (either through further qualification or more dives in varying conditions)

Can anyone suggest any good organisations that might offer this type of thing? (Currently in Asia so preferably Asian countries)


Thanks for reading and advice if anyone has made it this far!

I know when I was diving in Padang Bai in Bali there was a group there doing regenerative mesh to help coral regrow.

40 dives is not enough to start a DM course is it? Also I believe you will need to do the rescue course first.
Also Bali has some very strong currents.
