This 8 week plus program (depending on your starting level) is valuable in terms of learning, and even more valuable in terms of employment. Since you will finish the internship program with at least 25 certifications, you have a head start at getting employment after the program. You are no longer an instructor who has just finished the IE, but rather you have more experience behind you with real life teaching and real life problems. The advantage of having this experience when you are applying for a job cannot be overstated.
Candidates must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have been a certified diver for at least 3 months
- Have a current medical less than 12 months old
- Have all required diving equipment
- Have all books requested by the Course Director ( as per materials)
- Submit copies of all Dive Certificates
| Our dive courses and diving internships follow the logical flow of your own personal leadership development. Either select the individual courses you want to attend, select a complete packaged internship option or email us dive@abyss.com.au with your specific details and we will design a package to meet your needs. |
