DM work leading to IDC...?

[scuba_bubby]

I heard through the grapevine that it was possible to work as a dive master for free for three or so months (possibly on a livaboard) and then you can study your IDC for free? I'm already a qualified PADI DM.

I don't know if this is some myth, but I was wondering if anyone knew anything to do with this and if there were such offers available in Australia...?

I'm looking to travel out to Oz late next year.

Thanks!
