DM Internship - Please Help!

[Abbidabbi]

Hi,
I am an Advanced OPen Water Diver with about 30 logged dives, and I want to do my DM later this year. Ideally, I'd like to find somewhere that will take me on as an Intern, so that I can work off the costs of the course. I want to stay afterwards and work as a DM. Can anyone recommend areas/diveshops that can offer me this? I did my Open Water and Advanced in Thailand and know that there are places on Phi Phi island and Ko Tao that offer internships but would love to explore another area of the world. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Abby

we need some more information please!
Where are you? You need to fill out your profile.
What is your budget?
You say you want to get your DM and stay and work as a DM? Have you done much research into this at all?

I'm in Uk at the moment.....not a huge budget, between £600 and £1000....£1000 is pushing it which is why i want to work it off. I've heard of a few places i Thailand (Ko Tao for exmaple) doing internships, or offering positions as a DM after completion of the course. Have done quite a bit of research, know I won;t be earning a living from DM but want to dive as much as possible, get more experienced and become a better diver. Have looked into doing a DM on Utila with UDC as its cheap and looks like a great course but apparently no work available as lots of local DMs. Learnt to dive in Thailand and know there is work there but want to explore somewhere new. Time is not an issue, i'm booking a one way ticket!
