Up to $1,500 Less Than Other Thailand Internships
Free Bonus! — Now get Instructor Exam and application fees paid for you at no charge!
Whether you’ve never dived before or have 150 dives in your logbook, it may be hard to understand why you should “Go Pro” and become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor or Divemaster. But consider this:
You could have a job where you actually look forward to going to work in the morning. You’ll lead a life others only fantasize about. Sailing into incredible sunsets could be the rule, not the exception. The commute to work could be as easy as a ten-minute boat ride. And work itself becomes an adventure, as you explore the undersea world, swim with dolphins and turtles, explore coral reefs, shipwrecks and underwater caves. And while experiencing new cultures and lifestyles, you’ll be surrounded by people who are always happy.
That’s life as a PADI Pro. And this is the place you start to become one.
Aquanauts CDC Diving Instructor Training offers all-inclusive internship packages that will take you from novice to pro is seven months or less. You can simply make the jump from recreational diver to Divemaster, or you can go “all the way” and become a knowledgeable, experienced, fully certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor..
