Hola amigos y amigas!

I am new to the forum (and diving), but this seems like the right place to look for inspiration! I study International Hospitality Management and will be doing a three month internship - followed by a two month summer break. I'm trying to figure out where to go..

By now I have narrowed it down to Asia, most likely south east Asia. Great diving is the most important criteria. I wont be able to do liveaboards so I want the diving to be somewhat close to the shore, or within reach of day boats. I'm a fairly inexperienced diver having done my PADI rescue less than two years ago and logged a little less than 100 dives. If possible I'd like it to be somewhere I can pick up surfing (preferably kite or wave). I am hoping to find somewhere that's not too touristy, yet not too remote.

Economy is also an issue as I'm budgetting around 1000 USD a month. This is one of the reasons I've narrowed my search down to south east Asia. As I will most likely be working in a hotel or hostel I hope having food and maybe accommodation paid for. I'll be leaving Denmark in late March or early April. After the internship I was thinking of backpacking the surrounding area for a couple of months.

Do you have any ideas? Every suggestion is greatly appreciated :)
