GO PRO !
BECOME A DIVE PROFESSIONAL

Divemaster 3-4 WEEKS INTERNSHIP AT KHAO LAK INCLUDES PRACTICAL TRAINING ON ONE OF OUR LIVEABOARD TRIPS B24,800

This is the first step to become a dive professional, and here you will perfect your diving skills, knowledge and theory to Instructor level. Supervising certified divers is a large part of the Divemasters role and we therefore include a liveaboard trip as part of our course, enabling you to observe and practise the skills necessary for leading dive groups, all under the careful supervision of your Instructor. Find out how to focus on safety at all times whilst ensuring that the dive is well managed and fun for all divers.

The other major role of the Divemaster is assisting Instructors in student training. You will participate in several Open Water courses and learn how to present your skills to students in a clear, precise way. You will also assist in training on advanced courses, and will conduct, with supervision, the Scuba Review course for certified divers.

As this course is an internship you will participate in all the varied activities of a busy Dive Center, from which you will gain the practical knowledge necessary to help you find future employment - if that is your desire!

Once certified, you may independently conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experience and Scuba Review programme for certified divers, and also, under Instructor supervision, assist in various parts of the PADI Diver Education Programme.

You are also now qualified to be an underwater tour leader - or, in other words, a Divemaster!

FEELING OUT OF PRACTICE? NEED A SCUBA TUNE-UP?

Scuba Review
ONE DAY REFRESHER COURSE AT KHAO LAK
B1,500 with one dive - extra dive B700

If you have not dived for a while or feel like renewing your diving skills, then this short refresher course is for you. After working your way through an interactive theory book, which your Instructor will review with you, there is a chance to practise standard diving exercises in shallow water, from the beach. This will be followed by one dive on our house reef, to a maximum depth of 9m, enabling you to feel relaxed and comfortable in the water. You then have the option of an additional dive - for more practice or just for fun - which you can decide onboard at your leisure.
