1st Scuba Diving Internships - 'Pay As You Go' - Real Divers

  Thailand

• All Other Areas in Thailand: 
Pattaya,  Chonburi

Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: All Year Round

Description: Before the start of your Scuba Diving Internship we give you time to settle in and get comfortable with your surroundings. After a couple of days relaxing we'll show you around and help book you into accommodation that suits your taste. After these couple of days you will have had a brief tour of Pattaya and Jomtien, got to know a few other divers and you should now be in the relaxed mood that Pattaya is famous for. You are now ready to start your scuba diving training - Paying as you go along AND in your own time.

Passing the PADI Open Water, PADI Advanced Open Water and the PADI Rescue Course will give you a great insight into what scuba diving will mean to you. After these course's you will have the knowledge and dive experience to know if becoming a PADI Professional is for you.

Why Risk losing 100% of the cost of the internships before you even get into the water? For example, you might not like scuba diving, or pattaya, the instructors, the dive shop or even Thailand! Most Internship programs do not refund your money when things go wrong that's why Real Divers created the Internship around a 'Pay As You Go' training program.

Why accept equipment before you have had any chance to use it? We at Real Divers let you go through the PADI Open Water course before advising on buying any equipment. You will have a chance to use various types and brands of equipment to help you decide on what is best for you. Also, we will give you our equipment seminar to learn more about scuba diving equipment and to ask any questions you will have in purchasing your individual set of dive equipment and all the discounts associated with that purchase.

Now you continue on to PADI Advanced Open Water (2 days), any chosen PADI Specialties (1-3 days each), EFR (1 day) and finally PADI Rescue Diver (3-4 days). All these courses are taught with our own instructors. If you choose to be taught on a one-to-one basis or by only one Instructor throughout your internship, we will accommodate you at no extra charge.

About PADI Specialties: It is not a requirement to have any PADI Specialties in becoming a certified PADI Open Water Instructor. However, if you want to become a PADI Specialty Instructor in Enriched Air (Nitrox) or Rebreather then you will need both these specialties before you can teach them. These are the only 2 PADI Specialties that an Instructor is required to take prior to teaching them.

So, without any specialties your total diving days will be around 6-7 days and you will have increased your dive total by a further 13 dives. Being flexible is your choice so you can push on and complete this in the minimum days possible or relax and take it easy between each course - it's up to you.

You've now become a top certified 'Recreational Diver'. Next, your choice to turn professional...

Pattaya is one of the most unique places in this world and combined with our PADI Scuba Diving Instructor Internship gives you an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life. By joining Real Divers we can only hope to convince you that your decision to take a career in Scuba Diving will be the correct one. You are now armed with a powerful Internship program that we believe our competitors can't beat - not only by giving an honest price, but in flexibility, variation, our experience and most of all - our service to you.
