Hmmm....

Pretty difficult one....
I think it'd be a bit difficult, specially if you have nothing to offer to the diving operation...
I saw in your profile that you're a DM/AI/Instructor, which one? what agency? What's your experience?

Where do you plan to go?

(by the way, if you can complete your profile, it will help a lot to gain some context to what you write)

Well, "almost" free if you just do beach dives....tank rentals are pretty cheap.

Dont know what magazines are avaliable in Spain, but the UK mags Diver and PADI Sport Diver often have ads for divers to help with research projects and scientific studies.

Ive always fancied trying them - anyone out there done one?

Good luck on your travels

Have you considered "Free"diving? All you need is a mask, fins, and snorkel. Some of my best diving experiences have been freediving.
