Looking for DM internship 2ppl in Asia

[nosham]

Hi there ladies and gents, we are two people, one boy (italian) and one girl (malaysian), age 27, me with already rescue dive padi and 50 dives and her with open water, we would like to find a place around south east asia or asia where with zero budget we can get a DM license no matter if the training will not be as good as if it's a paid course. According to your experience , I would like to know if there are any places where to take one of those Dive Master internship where you can just work for 3 or 4 months in the diving center or resort in exchange of the padi DM license. Is it possible? any help please ?

I think a course like this is a very bad idea, but I think you should be able to find what you're looking for.

Hi,

How about accomodation and food wise? Zero budget as well? I came across one before but usually the students are at least rescue certified and they normally worked for more than 6 months. As for your GF who is only a openwater, I am not sure, really not sure.

I find this really a bad idea though. Cos I have also seen someone who has done it and not given a certificate given the excuses that he or she is not up to the mark. In the end a free labour for almost 2 years before giving up; well of course he's got plenty of free dives though..haha

Try Thailand or Philippines. You might get lucky.

k

you can work for free in my shop on phuket for 6 mths and i'll put you thru all the certs
bit of diving
lots of tank filling, carrying, toilet cleaning, kit washing, leaflet handing out

you need to sort your own work permit of course, pay all your own tax's, have your own equipment

there's a couple of big boxes out the back you can kip in and there's always food left over from when we eat

Seriously tho, nothings for free. PAY for your EDUCATION and make sure its a good one. being someones gopher for xx number of months is not necessarily a bargain
