I am 18 and until recently had been planning on starting college this fall. However, I recently realized that I would really like to take a gap year and get some more experience diving and earn my divemaster and instructor certs. I thought scubaboard would be a good place to start looking for programs that would allow me to do that.
Like I said, I am 18 and fresh out of high school. I have been diving for 5 years and have logged about 60 dives thus far. I have open water, aow, emergency first responder, and rescue diver certifications.
I am looking for a program that is at least a couple of months long, where I would be able to get hands on experience working in a dive shop while earning my certifications. I'm not really looking for any location in particular. I've always wanted to dive in Thailand, but I am completely open to anywhere else warm and pretty.
I will be working to pay for this trip myself, so programs on the less expensive side would certainly be preferable, but at this point I would love to hear any suggestions anyone may have regardless of cost. Also, I don't know if this is really a viable option, but I would definitely be open to a program on a liveaboard as well.
Thanks in advance for the help.
