Marine Conservation and PADI Divemaster Internship in Fiji - United Kingdom

Anyone familiar with these guys?

I just completed my DM in Fiji and there was someone from this program at the shop as well, she personally loved her experience and I'm sure would recommend it.
However she was there for much longer than I was and (i think) paid quite a bit more for the same qualification when I just went straight through the shop. They also place you in a "compatible" shop somewhere in fiji based on your personality/abilities for the divemaster portion, you have no say in which shop you eventually go to once you're off the marine conservation base and your # of dives and quality of dives is very dependant on that. I would personally see what you can find by just emailing shops unless you were extremely interested in doing the marine conservation portion (which sounds super cool!)

Hi sharkbite,

I'm doing research on options to pursue my DMT. I would love to go to fiji but there doesn't seem to be lots of people deeming it as one of the popular destinations for DMT. Could you kindly provide more information regarding your experience there? In terms of the overall training process, atmosphere, dive sites, length and price etc.? Many thanks!
