Quality experience on your Divemaster Internship comes from getting the maximum possible out of the course. Making the most of time spent 1-1 with your instructor, Self-study allowing you to ask questions of everything you don’t know or don’t understand, and utilizing the facilities available to the max. We charge for the internship to prevent the student being sent out guiding as a ‘free intern’ restricting the time that you have your instructor and after a long day’s diving, you may be too tired for self-study and having ‘company duties’ required of free internships that seriously hamper the quality of the training given. This then affects what you can get out of the course, therefore affecting your experience.
