Hey guys,
I'm looking at taking a DM job in Saipan, but I don't have a lot of savings at the moment. I want to make sure before I relocate that I'll be able to get by on the pay. I can't find too much useful stuff about the cost of living, so if anybody has any experience living and working in the area I'd really appreciate your input! I don't want to show up and have to bail after a month or two because I can't make ends meet, but I obviously don't wanna pass on a DM job offer since it seems they're hard to come by, especially for someone with as little experience as I have. (This would be my first actual DM job.) The company has asked me how much I "expect" to make, so if anybody can give me a little insight into realistic wage that would allow me to feed & shelter myself I'd really appreciate it! Specifically I'd really like to know the following:

Specifically I'd really like to know the following:
- How much can I expect to pay for rent & utilities? I'm happy with a room in a basic sharehouse.
- Is it feasible to get around without a vehicle?
- What's a standard/average pay rate for a divemaster?
