Hi All,
I've been registered here for a while but haven't posted before. I have got lots of great info from the boards though so thanks for that!
I'm now at the point where I need to decide where to take my IDC, and who with. I'm leaning towards either Thailand or Philippines but there is so much info out there I thought I would ask for some advice.
I'm looking for a good dive center where I will get quality training, my aim being to find work teaching once I'm qualified.
Can anyone give me any advice or recommendations?
I realize a lot depends on my skills, personality and work ethic etc, so I'm just looking for some general tips and advice as to how easy/difficult it would be to find work in each country once qualified. Plus any recommendations you might have of course.
Also any advice on gaining work permits for each country would be much appreciated.
I will likely take a few specialty instructor courses also and hopefully by then be able to teach in French (very rusty at the minute).
All suggestions and advice welcome.
Thanks in advance for the help!
GF
