PAID v FREE Internship

Why pay for an education when you can get it for free?

It’s the age old saying ” You really do get what you pay for”

Free may seem like the cheaper option but having to work 6 months without a wage is actually a very expensive way of obtaining your Divemaster Qualification.

14-hour days without a day off is sadly considered normal.

The training is usually very poor quality and only given when the centre is quiet but, in all fairness, a respectable dive centre should never be quiet.

Most reputable dive centres will have their own staff in place to look after bookings, sales, social media etc.
Doing all this is not part of a Divemaster’s role or training.

Again, you really do get what you pay for.

By paying for your training, you get a dedicated instructional team who will give you a quality education.

Depending upon your previous experience, it takes between one to two months to become a Divemaster, then for the rest of your duration you can go off and get a paid job as a professional Divemaster, not only getting a wage but gaining REAL experience working in the industry.

This is by far the cheaper way to obtain your Divemaster qualification.

You are treated with respect and all that is required is that you focus on your diving and have FUN!!!

If this sounds right for you then contact us now to discuss our PADI Divemaster Program!
