Training and working?

[gregorio]

Hi everybody,
I would like to do a Dive Master in australia, central america or asia, do you know if i can train for it and work in the same time, like instead of paying for it i help in the dive shop or something like this?
Thanks

I don't know of anywhere that you can do a Dm course for free but there are plenty of IDC centres in Malaysia/Thailand where the cost of living is very cheap and you should be able to do unlimited dives while on an internship.
Great diving too, stretch it out

Welcome to SB and good luck on your adventure, sorry no advice....

Thanx for the advices, have good dives.

We get guys wanting to get the course for free all the time. We've never done it. The course is partially a job application so why pay someone to apply for a job?

Plus if someone can't come up with a few hundred dollars for training how responsible are they

Note really sure to understand what you mean (my english is not really good). I just tought i could be a fair deal for a diver to a DM for free while the shop an an employee for free for a few month... and I am not sure responsability has something to do with money.
cheers.
