I have been working in the Philippines for the last two years and have logged over 120 dives here and have progressed as far as rescue diver. I have recently resigned from my job and will be returning to South Africa in December. Since I am in no rush to jump straight back into another corporate position since I only started diving once I left South Africa I want to take a bit of time off and do some diving locally.
This is where the DM internship comes in. Looking at some of the DM internship opportunities available here I can get a lot of diving done at a fairly significant discount if I do one of those programs. For between $1000 - $2000 and some labour I'll get around 100 dives over three months. From there I could spend around another month diving at client rates up and down the east coast before I need to start thinking seriously about a new job.
I have put together the following (rough) list of options and would love some feedback or any personal experiences:
Sodwana: Coral Divers, Deep Blue Conservation
Ponta do Ouro: Gozo Azul
Tofu: Tofu Scuba, Peri-Peri Divers, Liquid Dive Adventures
Bazaruto: Bazaruto Center for Scientific Studies
