Hey guys,
So here's the situation, I completed my DM in Dahab, Egypt in 2004, but for very complicated reasons, never sent the documentation off, so I am officially a Rescue Diver (which is fine). My wife (who is Korean) and I are now planning to go all in with the diving route, which means that she needs to do everything from OW, and I need to do a number of refreshers (I literally haven't dived since 2004) and then probably redo my EFR and DM. Ideally, what we want to do is find a good place in SE Asia for her to learn from scratch, and for me to get myself back into diving, before we both do the DM. Ideally, we'd then like to be able to work as DMs for a while until we are both experienced enough, and capable enough, to do the IDC. Once we've done that, then obviously the possibilities open right up. So really, the question is, where would you recommend in SE Asia for her to learn from scratch (she would probably want a Korean speaking instructor for the stuff after Advanced) that would also be a good place for us both to get some work as DMs prior to doing the IDC? We are very open to doing the DM course in one place and then going to another after a while for work and in order to get experienced enough to do the IDC. Thanks for any ideas/advice.
