| Be careful with internship options, many places use them as free labour. A few of the centres I saw in Thailand were doing exactly this. Then when they got the DM cert it was the usual unpaid but free diving line... free as long as you were guiding customers...
I was talking to a guy out there who booked it through a gap year travel company and got all training, books, accom, etc, up to DM for pretty much peanuts. Might be worth a look.
