What the course covers

The Divemaster Internship is an alternative approach to gaining your Divemaster qualification. Instead of the 4 days and one evening course, the course is performance based and you will need to meet set criteria to pass.

Starting with one day of introduction and orientation, the course is structured to meet your availability, and involves working with instructors and their students on PADI courses - an immensely rewarding approach to this qualification.

• Course fee : £239.00
• You will need your own full set of diving equipment including cylinder.
• Divemaster Manual
• Wheel and RDP Tables
• Note – The Divemaster Crewpak comes in a PADI briefcase and includes the Divemaster manual, the Encyclopedia and Knowledge Workbook – Cost £99.00
