work and stay on Utila

[BigL]

Anyone ever worked on Utila? I have medical background and my friend is a Dive Master. Is work hard to find? We are going around August till October. What should we expect for average daily budget? Know of any inexpensive places to stay? They do not have to have AC and other luxury accomodations. Just need to be clean and cheap, and maybe w/ a fan and hot water.

Any help would be great!

Utila is a little piece of paradise. Go.

I was there in 1996, back in 1998 and finally left in 1999. Did my DM course with Utila Dive Centre and did Instructor course in 1998.

As a DM hard to find any paid work. Some dive schools pay DM's a few dollars here and there, so if you friend can do his IDC that would help. The medical service there was always happy to have volunteers, but I don't know about paid work.

In any case, GO!

Don't know why I left really, still think a lot about the place.

thanks for the reply! I have one more question, if I plan on staying for 2 months, do I need any special permission or documents?? I am a US citizen. I am trying to get a job at the health clinic , but if it is too much paper work, I might just volunteer. Any advice??:doctor:
