Participants should be in good physical condition with the ability to swim and tolerate multiple dives daily.
Join a comprehensive 4-week internship in Puerto Rico, Spain, where you'll advance from Rescue Diver to Divemaster under expert guidance. Discover extraordinary underwater landscapes and develop professional diving skills in this unique opportunity.
During your 4 weeks of being with us at the diving centre we ask you to join us between 5/6 days a week. A typical day starts at 8.30am and we then prepare and load equipment so we can head out diving from the boat or beach. We generally complete 2 morning dives and return at the dive centre around 1.30 / 2pm. Depending on the days we can head out for an afternoon dive or complete independent study. Tank filling and equipment washing is too part of the internship, however you are not classed as slaves and we all help out in this part of the day. Our days finish approx. 5pm, but depending on how busy we are times may change either way.
Throughout your 4 weeks with us we slot in your diving courses and you work closely alongside one of our instructors.
There is options to complete speciality diving courses at a reduced price. Please ask and enquire for more information on this. Open water and Nitrox - 2 days Advanced and Nitrox - 2 days Family 4 open waters - 3 days
