Hi there lovely people of Scubaboard. I am really looking for some helpful advice. So I am an experienced divemaster and have always wanted to work on Perhentian Island in Malaysia. I have dove there many times and I really love the place. I would really like to know how to go about applying for DM work there? I have emailed around a few companies but I find that a majority of dive schools don't reply (I believe this is often with the case with dive schools though as the emails often get lost in a sea of emails). I currently work in Thailand as a divemaster and on the island where I am, it was a case of turning up on the island and handing out CVs and visiting the shops in person to find work. Is this the same procedure on Perhentian? I know that Perhentian Kecil has many divemasters working there so what is the process to find work there? I know from previous experience on the island that many dive shops are already fully staffed when they open in February/March time for the season, so I'm thinking that they must recruit in advance? But I'm not having much luck with getting any responses. I am a good divemaster, experienced, hard working and speak fluent English and German. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you guys.
