If you’re currently a PADI Advanced Open Water certified diver (or qualifying certification from another dive training agency) and you wish to pursue a professional path to becoming a PADI Instructor, then we’ve developed the following PADI scuba internships to help you make your dream come true by embarking on a professional dive career. Our PADI diving internships include the PADI EFR/Rescue Diver course, the PADI Divemaster course, and the PADI Instructor Development course.
If you have a PADI Advanced (or equivalent agency), then you can start with the PADI EFR/Rescue course (any day any time!!!) and continue all the way through to PADI Instructor in approximately 7 weeks. Our scuba diving internships are a great way to gain additional experience (which you need to enroll in the PADI IDC with us). If you are short of the 40 dives, then we do include unlimited diving with our program as you need to have 40 logged dives to start the Divemaster course. So depending on how many dives you are short, we will scheduled a pre-week to the Divemaster program where you start getting involved in coral reef surveying, logging dives and improving essential dive skills like your buoyancy control and air consumption. This pre-week will take you up to the required 40 dives. We recommend an early reservation as we do have limited spaces/materials and small group sizes.
For Advanced Open Water certified divers (or equivalent), the Rescue to Instructor (7 week program) includes initial accommodation in Mango Inn hotel, 2 months reef fees, log books, course manuals, new Instructor manual/Divemaster crew pack, Instructor course IDC crew pack, EFR Instructor manual, Rescue pocket mask, RDP’s (Table and E-RDP ML). PADI fees are included in quote but are paid direct to PADI with credit card at time of application and not to Utila Dive Centre.
Our Premium Pro Plus package includes the MSDT (5 specialty Instructor course) module, with all fees and materials and optional internship with total savings of $1040. Also with our Premium Pro Plus package get free PADI 02 Instructor, Adaptive Diver Instructor, PADI ‘Resort Operations Specialty’ training and certification and ScubaPro Technicians course with our GoPro 6.0 promotion.
