Becoming a Dive instructor.?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 22:38:20 +0000

I am currently an advanced Padi diver. I am off to do my rescue diving soon.
I was just wondering if any scuba instructors out there can tell me about becoming an instructor. (as in pay rate life style etc.)
I am looking at a place in Bali to do a three month internship to become an instructor at the end of next year. Also does any one know if you can stay in America working as a diving instructor (I am an Australian and would like to try and live in USA longer than a work visa permits) -Thanks

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 10:36:43 +0000

I’ll be arriving at Jakarta airport via Philippine Airlines and I have a connecting flight to Denpasar, Bali via Air Asia. Are these two airlines in the same terminal or do I have to transfer? How easy is it to get to my domestic flight (Air Asia) from my international flight (Philippine Airlines)?

I have an seven-hour layover. Can I go out of the airport to explore a bit? Is there anything to see close to the airport? Or is it better for me to stay in the airport? Are there things to do? I know I don’t need a Visitor on Arrival visa. Assuming I’ll have bags, is there depository/storage service in the airport short-term?

Do you have feedback on Kinds Villa Bintang, Nusa Dua? I heard the resort itself is good but the beach is not so nice. Thank you.
How far is this resort from the Denpasar airport?

How much money would I need for back packing through SE Asia and Europe?

admin — Sun, 09 May 2010 22:41:28 +0000

Excluding flights.

I want to go to Bali (Indonesia), Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Cambodia.
In Europe I want to go around the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland and The Netherlands.

Then if I can I want to try get to Morocco.
