You will start your once in a lifetime diving instructor internship at the Pattaya Dive Centre in Pattaya, Thailand. Here you will spend the first 2 months becoming a PADI Master Scuba Diver, starting with the PADI Open Water Diver course learning the basics to dive safely. The next step is the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course where you will gain experience in underwater navigation and diving deeper. After successful completion of these two courses you will enroll in the 5 PADI specialties required for the MSD. There are many to choose from exciting courses such as Deep Diver, Wreck Diver, Enriched Air Nitrox, Underwater Navigation and Underwater Digital Photo just to name a few. The last part of the MSD program is the PADI Rescue Diver and Emergency First Responder now you automatically qualify for the highest non professional rating PADI Master Scuba Diver.

Once you are a Master Scuba Dive you will travel to the beautiful island of Koh Tao in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand, staying here for 4-6 weeks. During this period you will become a PADI professional by completing the PADI Divemaster and EFR Instructor course. Koh Tao certifies more divers than any other location in South East Asia, so you are sure to gain valuable experience that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. You will be training and getting work experience in some on the busiest dive centres in the world.

 

The last portion of your training is to join the elite by becoming a PADI Dive Instructor, opening doors that other people only dream about. Cairns in Queensland Australia is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Here you will embark on a cruise for 3 days with 11 dives around the outer Barrier Reef with Pro Dive Cairns prior to your IDC (Instructor Development Course). Pro dive Cairns has issued more than 100,000 diver certifications since they began, once again proving that your internship is in the hands of only the best and most experienced instructors around the world.

Please note: the Platinum package only includes the accommodation in Thailand up to four months. Because the accommodation is not included in the IDC in Australia we include the 3 day cruise instead.
