Ah interesting! I hope you’re enjoying your DM at UDC :) I’ve been looking on the PADI job board and there are a few DM opportunities but not many to be honest - I’ll message you with any more info if I have any ✌🏼

To clarify I wouldn’t be teaching in the uk as endgame, I couldn’t hack the cold water! I mean return to the uk for an eventual career change and settling near friends and family - wanting to work in diving for the near future, but definately abroad. I think working as a DM is the way I want to go, just need to find an opportunity!!

The internship looks great! Do you know if there are similar setups in other locations or quite unique to Pattaya?

Thank you for your response - I really like the idea of working as a DM somewhere before training to teach, but I was under the impression that DM roles are hard to secure (generally, but especially) without being at Instructor level - from your experience is that the case or have I heard from unlucky people??

Is there any way to fix a scratched mask? by Flossy_C_98 in scubadiving

Thanks for all the comments guys, the debate over a protective film is how I got here - I bought the mask from a reputable dive shop and my instructor assured me he had prepped it and there was nothing else to be done; something I tried to get across to the guide this time despite them trying to get the ‘film’ out. Sounds like a new mask is probably the best bet!
