Firstly "hi" everyone. I'm new to SB although I've refered to it from time to time over the years.
Been diving since 1992 with BSAC but later moved over to PADI back in 2002, currently a DM with PADI and also Advanced Trimix with TDI, Advanced Gas Blender with PSAI and recently qualified as Sidemount (sorry but I just had to find out what all the fuss was about) again with PSAI. Logged best part of 1000+ dives over the years although been a bit hit and miss with the old recording of the dives!!!
Been wanting to get into the dive industy for many years and hopefully will be making the jump into OWI & MSDT later this year.
Looking for some advice with regards to where my partner (she's going to qual' as DM) and I should think of heading to first, where ever we go I will need to do IDC/IE and MSDT. I want to land on my feet and find work as quickly as possible and have been advised to head to Phuket in Thailand, is this a good place to start in everyones opinion??
We both love travelling, she's Polish and we're both intending on learning at least basic German before we go, we're also planning on gettng a TEFL qualification to teach English whilst we travel as a back up plan.
Any suggestions or comments welcome!!!
