PADI Divemaster Internship for Indonesian Citizens Programme

11 Month PADI Divemaster Internship for Indonesian Citizens

In 2011, AquaMarine introduced the “AMD-B PADI Divemaster Internship for Indonesian Citizens” Programme; a major initiative to re-invest into Indonesia’s dive community.

The Internship provides the highest level of all-round training so that each Intern can confidently pursue a career in the dive industry.

Although every member of AMD-B’s Dive Team is involved with PADI (OW to DM) and Dive Guide Training, Mitra, one of AMD-B’s longest-serving PADI OWSIs, provides one-on-one direct mentoring for our interns.

Each year, to ensure sufficient relevant experience, AMD-B will take a maximum of four interns.

Programme Outline

January – February

Irrespective of any dive certification held, all participants undertake the PADI OWDC and AOWDC.

By the end of Feb, they will be EFR-trained and well into the Rescue theory and pool practice.

March

By the end of March, they will be certified as PADI Rescue Divers. This means they will have been involved with several rescue scenarios in different locations. For example: the rocky beach at Tulamben, the Legian/Seminyak surfing beach, by boat at Blue Lagoon outside Padangbai, by boat in the swell at Manta Point (or similar), by boat in a strong surface current, etc.

April – June

These three months are dedicated to the PADI DM course and assisting with as much guiding as possible.

By the end of June, they will be certified as PADI Divemasters and be semi-experienced dive guides with a professional, positive and safety-oriented approach to scuba-diving.

July – November

They will join AMD-B’s dive staff team to build upon and practise their skills and knowledge.

End of Programme

At the end of the eleven month contract period:

• If they would like to stay with AMD-B and we have a vacancy for a Junior Dive Guide, then it’s a match made in heaven.
• Otherwise they will be free to leave with newly acquired knowledge, experience and certifications.
