I'm starting to realise you might right! The more I look the more I'm thinking there is no such thing as a 'free' internship. I was thinking of either doing the DM course at Kho Lanta where they let you work off the cost of the course after finishing.... or just paying for a course in the...

phuonguyen, I actually read that deal wrong. Its not US$625 for the whole deal. Its an EXTRA 625 if you want to add on the internship portion at the end. The total cost was thousands of dollars. Also as Tortuga68 says the do make sure your certified for at least 6 months. I've had my Advanced...

Wow. This place looks good! Zero to Hero EVERYTHING included except food. Which will be cheap since its on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (I'm guessing its similar to India's prices? can anyone confirm that?). Their 'Zero to Hero Instructor Internship Program' actually works out better...

vladimir, I travel a lot and I'm really good at traveling on a budget and making my cash go veerryy far (thus looking for a place to intern for free!). I've got a bout 10k saved up, plus I have an online business which pulls in some money, not much but its enough. By moving from place to place...

I was thinking of doing a dive internship, but everywhere I look you have to pay $2000-$3000! I don't know about you but I don't like the idea of PAYING to do an "intership". I was hoping to find somewhere that lets you work in the shop/boat in exchange for food, accommodation, and course fees...

Hey guys, Where is the cheapest place to become Dive Master/Dive Instructor? I'm not looking for a discussion on whether or not going with the cheapest place is a good idea. I just want to know where you think is the cheapest! Thanks, Ben

Ok got it now. Thanks again.

Thanks Tobin :) I think I've got my head around all of this now. Just want to confirm a few things... In the email you sent me you said "with a full hp 100 your rig will be about -19 lbs and will provide about 11 lbs of ballast, about right for a 5mm suit." So does that mean my rig weighs...

AMAZING ANSWER!! So detailed and exactly what I was looking for. Will start reading those articles. Thanks :)

Thanks for the help guys. I was actually also leaning towards the Suunto Vyper (I was searching ebay and these boards for a used one)... but I think I've been too quick to jump at buying a new computer. I'm only just getting back into diving and starting to buy all my own gear. So I think I'll...

I've recently inquired about buying a BP&W setup from DSS. Tobin was very helpful by suggesting what rig I should buy based on what I'll be diving with. But I was hoping to read up on this subject for my own learning. What calculations does he use to determine what gear I need? For example if...

I know this has been done to death, but after searching these boards (and elsewhere) for a long time I'm more confused than ever about what dive computer to buy! I'm fairly new to diving but hope to progress quickly over the coming years. So I want something that will serve me well as I...
