Does anybody know a good place to undertake Rescue and DM courses in brazil??

I am looking for somthing rather cheap, but i can sacrificate some of my "cheapness" to a good, professional teaching. =-) Maybe work for the scuba center/ resort during the course...

Thanks for your advices gals and guys!

(I asked the same question for Philippines, cos' I am esitating between S. America and SE Asia... if you have and idea)

Deep Trip is a very good place to take these courses under PADI certification.

But the Dive Master course requires working as an assistant for several dives.

Here is their website http://www.deeptrip.com.br/, I'm planning to make my DM certification there.

Well, I don´t know what you call "cheap", but if you can spend a little bit more (not so much, because one dollar here worths three "reais"), I suggest you to go to Noronha. Take a look at these: http://www.aguasclaras-fn.com.br/ and http://www.atlantisnoronha.com.br/. Abrolhos is a great place to dive, but doesn´t have good schools. In São Paulo I suggest www.divingcollege.com.br and www.narwhal.com.br, and in Rio www.diversquest.com.br.

If you have any difficult to get information, please let me know, because I live here in Brazil.
