Hi there. We are researching facilities to do our Scuba internships. So far we have only found a handful mainly in Thailand. If anyone has had an experience with any of these schools or has a recommendation for us we'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,
It does seem that many of the advertisments for internship programs that you find on the internet are in Thailand. But not every dive shop that offers an intern program will advertise.
I did my internship and instructor training in the Virgin Islands at St. Thomas Diving Club. They still offer the program as do several other dive shops in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. You can find lots of dive shop scattered around the Caribbean that offer an internship program.
More recently I was in Tenerife and the dive shop I was diving with was conducting internships. The other dive shop on the same beach also had internship training going on.
I would decide on where I would like to do my training and research dive shops in that area. I'm sure you will find at least one shop that offers the program you want.
