Interested in becoming a dive professional, but having difficulty getting your foot in the door? Weary of doing one of those 'turn and burn' 3-4 week Divemaster courses that just check off the list and don't really teach you anything?Well, we're here to change that. With us, you get the whole package,time on the boat, time in the shop, and all the time you need to be the best entry level pro on the market!

What we have created an 8-12 week program designed to make you one of the most employable, entry-level scuba pros in the world. You'll be taught by the best. Palau Dive Adventures (PDA) is the number one rated dive operation in the whole country of Palau (according to TripAdvisor) and you'll be taught by the leading industry professionals that helped turn PDA into what it is today.
Our DM/Resort program is designed to take someone who knows little to nothing about the industry and turn them into an expert! Not only will you receive first class dive training; how to engage the customers on the boat, in the shop, and underwater. We'll train you standard boatmanship, knot tying, etc. You'll learn advanced Navigation techniques so you NEVER get lost. You'll learn how to read currents and water conditions. We'll teach you how to spot the difference between confident, strong divers, and the ones who need a little more attention.

You'll learn how each PADI Course works, Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, and the Discover Scuba Program. You'll assist with each of these courses multiple times. You'll also learn some specialty courses (and have the opportunity to be trained in) such as Nitrox, wreck, deep, Drift,among many more.

In addition to learning the diving side of the scuba industry, you'll also spend 3-5 weeks in the shop taking bookings and learning how to make sales through subtle suggestive up-selling. You'll learn how to maximize your income by learning the best ways of sealing the deal and earning that commission!

Accommodation will be covered by the candidate. However, the course includes transportation to and from the office, gear locker, or dock. Also, we include unlimited free diving for the duration of the course.

As Many of us know, Palau offers some of the best, if not the best, reef diving on the planet. Beautiful diving coupled with the beautiful scenery of the surrounding rock islands and the top-of-the-line training you'll receive make for one of the best Dive Internships on the planet. Also, we are currently only taking on ONE candidate at a time so you'll receive all the attention you need.

Some weekends and after-hours can be spent covering the theory, workbook,and knowledge reviews over a meal or drinks. Also, providing one on one time for Q&A.

Upon satisfactory mastery and completion of not only the PADI DM course but our high standards of performance expectations, we will sign you off, and send you out into the world a a confident new dive pro ready to prove what he knows at any dive shop around the planet. We can provide references,recommendations, and perhaps in some rare cases we may even be able to get you a job somewhere, not necessarily with us but with one of the shops we have good relationships with, be them anywhere in the world.

Interested candidates should send cover letter, CV/Resume, and recent photo(s)with at least one showing the whole face, I.E. no Sunglasses or hats.Also, the subject of the email needs include the word INTERNSHIP.Please send emails to Pete at:

training@palaudiveadventures.com

Only,applicants who include all the criteria listed above will be considered. Only applicants who are short-listed will be contacted.The starting date for the first course will be in the middle of September. Thank you and we all look forward to working with you!!

Hello,
I saw your annoucement in Scubaboard for a DM Internship, and I was very interested. I'm from Brazil, and fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English. I already have a PADI Divemaster certification and about 400 logged dives, but I'd like to get more experienced because I live far from great dive operations
. I have dived in many places like Egypt, Bonaire, Curacao, Bahamas, Brazil, USA, Greece, Portugal and in some grat liveaboards, always as a customer. Worked as a dentist my whole life and now I'd like to make scuba as my way of living.
If you could give some more information on how the internship works I'd appreciate! Thank you!
Sunny regards,
Rodrigo Correia Lopes
