School wasn't for me, I'm taking time off right now to work and all that. I've decided to go become a SCUBA Instruction Intern in Thailand when I've saved up enough money, and untill then just work my but off and sleep, basicly.

And before you ask, yes I have done extensive research on all different Intern programs, not just pick the first one I came across. Yes I've talked to Instructors/Students, and yes I am convinced it is a very good program. 7,000 Dollars includes all courses, apartment, and equiptment, in thailand, for 6 months. You can leave and come back at your own leisure, as long as you have paid. (For instance, I could do two months of training, come back home, work some more, go back, do 3 months, come home, etc etc.) But my goal is to just stay for the whole time, or as long as possible before I need to come home and work again.
 
Yea, I'll probobly still take classes and all that at somepoint, but right now I can't get myself to buckle down into that routine.
 
I have a friend who very recently did this exact same thing (in Thailand) after taking a couple of years off working in SE Asia. He said it was phenomenal, especially the nighttime dives.

Actually, when it finished, he moved to Malta for 3 months and did nothing but cave diving and shipwreck dives. He couldn't get enough of it I suppose.

I think he's done all variations now, except lake dives.

So awsome, I can't imagine it being anything less then phenomenal.

I've always wanted to do those florida spring/lake dives. Supposedly they have the best visibility in the entire world, almost flawless.

man's not living bad if his work is something he enjoys, my friend.

Exactly my thoughts. Waking up to teach hotties how to dive in a tropical paradise every day = not to shabby =). (I know that probboly won't be the case, but hey just waking up to teach anyone to dive anywhere would be amazing).

good luck and more power to ye. i hope for your sake that thailand has bitches, booze and bullet belts.

The booze is cheap, and so are the bitches - this is why wearing a nightcap is essential if you want to go exploring the Asian caves with your good friend the bishop. AIDS is an artform in Thailand.

I know Tully's been out in the wilderness before, though, so I'm confident his Tully jr. will come out unscathed in the end. Congratulations to thee, Tully!
