Dates: Starting every 2 weeks

Description: The Dive Bus Divemaster Internship Program: Train to become a PADI professional diver and get paid to dive all around the world!

The Dive Bus Divemaster internship takes up to 8 weeks depending on your current level of scuba diving qualification (including 'none'). Your training will include hands on, practical application of the theory you're learning, by working at The Dive Bus alongside the full time crew. You'll meet and deal with real divers and real students, and handle real life situations, setting you apart from your peers. Plus you'll attend a special 'How to get a job in diving' seminar to teach you some tricks about getting your resume noticed.

The Dive Bus is no 'production line'. Our training groups are small and personal, with a focus on fun (and safety!) whilst learning.

And best of all, you'll be learning in Curacao, one of the Caribbean's top diving locations, with year round diving, excellent conditions, healthy coral and a multitude of marine life. You'll become an expert on spotting marine life and gain a healthy respect and enthusiasm for the marine environment, which you won't be able to help passing on to every diver you meet.

The Dive Bus Divemaster Internship Program is hard work but highly rewarding - and it could quite literally change your life...
