Aquanauts Value PADI Divemaster Scuba Diving Internship

Whether you want to make diving a career, are looking for an exciting way to spend a holiday or just interested in earning a professional certification to back up your existing job, becoming a PADI Divemaster is a great choice.

Too often, though, it’s an expensive choice. In these tight economic times, Aquanauts has come up with a way for you to live your dream while not busting the bank: the Aquanauts Value Divemaster Internship.

Basically a streamlined version of our hugely successful Aquanauts Complete Divemaster Internship, the Aquanauts Value program offers the same length and quality of training for more than 40% less than other Divemaster programs.

You still get all your courses and materials, a set of new dive equipment that’s yours to keep, private accommodations and lots and lots of diving. We’ve simply stripped out of some the extras that busted the budget for many people. The result? The best dive training internship just got radically less expensive.

Depending upon your current certification, you can now become a PADI Divemaster for just $1,899! Even if you’ve never dived before, you can spend two months in Thailand and become a skilled, certified PADI Divemaster for just $4,149! Compare that with other programs that charge in excess of $7,000 for programs of the same length.

During your Divemaster Internship, you’ll work closely with a PADI Instructor to expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills as you become a professional. PADI Divemaster Training develops your leadership abilities by teaching you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.
