Year-End Revamp Sees Lower Prices, New Free Courses & Revised Dive Equipment Packages

Aquanauts Complete Year-End Sale Save $700With a new year – and, for many, a new start in life – just a month away, Aquanauts Dive Career Development Centre this week launched a year-end sale on its Aquanauts Complete scuba diving internships, slashed the prices of its Aquanauts Value programs and introduced a new suite of six free diving courses.

The “Complete Year-End Sale” sees prices of the Aquanauts Complete PADI Instructor internship drop by up to $700 and the Aquanauts Complete PADI Divemaster internship by up to $500. The non-professional Aquanauts Complete PADI Master Scuba Diver traineeship also got price cuts of up to $300.

The sale coincides with changes made to all Aquanauts professional training programs that include the introduction of new gear into standard scuba diving equipment packages, a permanent price cut of as much as $1,000 on Aquanauts’ budget-oriented Value instructor and divemaster internships, the debut of new Aquanauts Value Master Scuba Diver Trainer and Value IDC Staff Instructor programs and, last but certainly not least, the introduction of an all-new suite of free bonus scuba diving courses called the PADI Pro Skills 6 Pack.

“With the world economy still in the doldrums and exchange rates working against Thailand, Aquanauts is constantly trying to lower the prices of its life-changing scuba diving career programs,” said Aquanauts Internships Director Bob James. “Many people choose January to start new jobs, schools and career-change programs. Our year-end sale will allow those looking to change their lives to do so at the lowest price available for dive internships with PADI courses, materials, dive equipment and accommodations of this quality.

“Our sale makes our Aquanauts Complete instructor program as much as $1,578 less expensive than competing programs that, in fact, offer less equipment and fewer courses,” James continued. “The prices are possible thanks to price reductions in PADI materials, Suunto computers and Scubapro regulators. Unlike other centers, we didn’t simply bank the savings we’ve been granted; we’ve passed them on to our customers.”

Aquanauts Value Internship and Equipment Changes

Scubapro Jet Sport diving finsIn addition, the Value program got its first-ever “free bonus” incentive. For Value internship enrollees who pay the full balance of their package no later than 30 days before arriving in Thailand, they’ll receive the Emergency First Response Instructor course – a $265 value – free!

The Value and Complete internships also saw some changes in their respective equipment packages.

Dropping the Mares full-foot Volo Race fins, Aquanauts reintroduced a full-foot fin – the new Scubapro Jet Sport – and boots into the Aquanauts Complete program gear package. For the Aquanauts Value scuba equipment set, Aquanauts added the Suunto SK-6 wrist compass and Seac Sub Fuga full-foot fins. Both name-brand pieces of gear offer high quality at a price that makes Aquanauts Value an even better internship value.

New Free Bonus Courses Offer

Finally, after nearly a year, Aquanauts dropped its “Eco-Diver 2010 Training Pack” suite of free bonus incentive for Aquanauts Complete internships and debuted the new “PADI Pros Skills 6 Pack” set of courses.

Offered free to all Aquanauts Compete enrollees who pay their full balance at least 30 days before arriving in Thailand, the suite’s courses run the gamut from those specifically recommended for the new 2010-2011 Divemaster course – first previewed here and explained in detail here – to dive medic courses to those enhancing environmental skills, some of the most important to have in today’s scuba diving jobs market.

Heading up the 6 Pack, are the PADI Deep Diver and PADI Search & Recovery Diver courses. By completing these two PADI Specialties, you can skip the new Divemaster course’s required Deep and Search & Recovery Practical Application Skills.
