Every year at Phuket Dive Tours we are pleased to offer a limited amount of FREE Divemaster internship to enthusiastic individuals who wish to earn the SSI Divemaster certification.
The SSI Divemaster Internship with Phuket Dive Tours is designed to offer a meaningful way to kick-start a purpose-driven career in scuba diving. That means very new divers or divers who haven’t even got their first certification. Zero to Hero or very close to it
“These internships offer hands-on training and mentorship at world-class SSI Dive Centres and Resorts – learning how to supervise and teach scuba divers while also learning about running a successful dive business. This initiative is part of SSI’s ongoing commitment to fostering new talent and promoting growth within the diving industry.”
The SSI Divemaster Internship will provide participants with their SSI Divemaster certification and hands-on experience, skills, and confidence needed to excel in a diving career.
The SSI Divemaster membership rating is recognised globally for employment opportunities and represents a significant milestone in an individual’s scuba diving development – and is the pivotal first step in becoming an SSI Professional.
The professional rating enables recipients to lead and mentor other divers, assist SSI Instructors in training, and conduct certain diving activities independently.
Many SSI Divemasters continue careers in marine conservation, film and television, the Armed Forces and underwater archaeology, while also having the option to work worldwide as an SSI Professional.
To qualify for the SSI Divemaster Internship, participants will need to be enthusiastic, team players and have a love and respect for the ocean. We also expect our candidates to be environmentally conscious.
If you have some dive experience then all the better but we want to shape your journey and install good values and ethics from the very beginning so a maximum rating of Advanced Adventurer or equivalent through any dive agency is preferred.
