Hi fellow divers,
I'm new to this forum but have looked through loads of threads and can tell there are loads of really experienced people around, I'd really really appreciate your advice!
I'm an advanced diver, doing my rescue in August in Barbados. The reason for that is that I've got a very good friend running a dive shop there, but I don't wish to do my DR & IDC in Barbados. After my rescue I wish to find the right dive shop in the Caribbean for an internship as a DM and eventually IDC - I want to go the full way! The reason I'm looking at Dominican Republic is because I've got work opportunity there involving underwater filming (I'm a film/TV producer), but I've also heard great things about the diving in Bahamas.
Where is the best place and dive shop to do an internship like this in the Caribbean? Please feel free to recommend other places in the Caribbean, al though my main focus is at DR, I'd happily consider elsewhere if highly recommended. I've contacted a few places, but it is so hard to tell what's good and what's not.
Any dive shop that also teaches conservation would be absolutely perfect, as that's where my heart lies.
Has anyone got experience with Coral Point diving? PADI IDC 5 Star Dive Center in Bayahibe - Marine Research - Dominican Republic - dive training, snorkeling excursions to Saona, Catalina, Catalinita, sharks and dolphins with Coral Point Diving
Thanks guys - super eager to get started and would really appreciate some guidance!!
Happy diving!
Cheers,
Jen
