dm internship

[Big fish63]

i am looking at doing my dive master certificate, my first choice of location would be komodo. does anyone know of a company that offers an internship with them providing accommodation and food in return for some hard graft by myself?

or if you have somewhere else to recommend i'd really like to hear about it.

The 'better' dive shops rarely offer this sort of deal......

Check out these shops tho': Lumba Lumba & Thresher Shark Divers.

Why not in Phuket, Thailand, if you want to see Manta rays......

 

[Big fish63]

probably because they are rarely seen

Fairly easy to see them around Koh Bon, Koh Tahcai or Richelieu Rock, or even a bit closer to Phuket at Racha Noi...

fair enough, i did see two or three at the similans. the one at richelieu did hang around for a while, which was nice. we were told it was pretty good luck to see them though.
after seeing 28 mantas on a single dive (we werent counting honest) in komodo, i dont think i'd be going anywhere else if i wanted to see them...

I agree with you

I've never seen a 'freebie' DM course that was good. Most DMs are happy to PAY and work for free/cheap afterwards.

I agree with you Andy

hmm not so sure, i know of a few dive centres i have used in asia that i know would offer good training. most dont offer food though.
