Hello Scubaboard,
I'm currently PADI AOW certified from Utila and other dives in Latin America. I'm somewhere around 20 dives, though it's been a year since I was last in the water.
I have recently come about a very flexible position and would like to continue dive training. My position doesn't pay very well, but it's enough to get by on and have fun with. The idea is for me to work every other day and dive every other day. My original plan before finding this job was to head to Ko Tao, somewhere else in SE asia, or somewhere in latin America, as I've done a lot of third world travel, but for this job I will essentially be a computer programmer. Thus, I need to be in a location that has decent diving and training that I can afford, but also in a location with a good internet connection and where I won't have to worry about my laptops being stolen.
I'm thinking about going for DM as typically those packages include plenty of dives and training, but am open to other possibilities. I will have about 5 months in total starting in May.
Suggestions are very welcome. I'm thinking heavily about Florida, but am also curious about carribean locations, Hawaii, Latin America (Belize?), Croatia, and heck, just about anywhere.
I'd certainly be willing to discuss any possibilities with any shops in private. Please be up front about cost and cost of living in your location. I have many technical skills that may be of use and I am happy to assist on my dive days as a divemaster in training.
Thanks in advance.
Eric
