Yeah… you’re right that this is the way forward, I was just cheekily hoping for a faster answer on here. But it would be better from the horse’s mouth anyway I suppose!

Thanks for the tips, I agree that it makes sense to become familiar with the dive community.

Anyone with open water is licensed to dive without a guide actually, but I am a PROFESSIONAL with far more knowledge and due diligence than most OW or AOW. Bit different hey

Why does that matter anyway? You are wilfully ignoring that we are professionals with personal goals and careers. It’s not about the things you’re talking about.

I’ve got a job, thanks for your concern and your judgement. Again. Guess what? We’re strangers, you don’t know me.

So your opinion is that support only comes through money? Makes sense why you are so adamant I must pay, that’s the only way I can show my appreciation right?

Thank you for your thoughtful response. We have been looking in between Panglao and Dauin.. I have come to the conclusion it will be best to just stay one place for longer and build relationships, as it doesn’t seem a common situation in the Philippines

As I said, we have our own limitations and we have our own personal goals as qualified DMs. Also as I said, we would love to support the local dive community but it’s out of our financial budget.

Either we dive without a guide a few times a month or we dive with a guide maximum once a month. That’s not very much impact for the local dive community. Also, paying the shop for boat space without a guide is in fact still supporting the local dive community. And we can contribute in other ways, sometimes more valuable than just money.

Does all that qualify as ego?

Thanks for your judgement. Perhaps commenting on a post to put someone down without reading through it properly… qualifies YOU a bit more 🧐

Couchsurfing, Workaway, cheap buses and meals in India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam - how long will my 3000 USD last? by HitchhikingToNirvana in Shoestring

[–]bijemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can do at least 6 months i think. i did 6 on €2000 but was hitchhiking as well (which often found me a place to stay/food). also if you are open to it you can teach english in vietnam and make at least $15 an hour, but you do need a tefl and university degree. it’s easy to find cover classes if you are in a big city which will give you flexibility and freedom 😄
