How does it work?

Your Training & getting experience.

In the first part of your free divemaster internship, we will focus on the most important part: You and your training! Our course is designed for people who want to succeed in the diving industry. Dive into confined training, honing open water skills to expert demonstration levels. Perfect your emergency procedures and skills, ensuring you’re prepared for any scenario. Learn how to brief and guide divers of all levels and on all kind of dives, including deep & night dives. Become an expert about our environment and how to protect the oceans – including clean-up dives and organized island clean ups. Classroom sessions cover diving theory, equipment workshops, photography, and environmental conservation. Our divemaster training isn’t just about the basics and about ticking off boxes. It’s a comprehensive journey. From clean-up initiatives to equipment workshops, photography, and social media skills, we cover it all.

But theory will only lead you so far – that’s why in the second part of your internship you will start guiding our certified divers of all levels, nationalities and backgrounds over our beautiful dive sites, gaining valuable real-life experience. You’ll leave not just as a certified divemaster, but as a well-rounded diving professional, ready to take over the diving industry.

Don’t take our word for it!

Hear from our former Interns.

Bas – I can highly recommend Princess Divers to kick-start your professional career with their free divemaster internship. Princess Divers puts a lot of energy and care into their interns which gives you all the tools to become a solid dive professional. The instructor trainer Sal is a very experienced instructor and throughout all the courses I had the feeling she didn´t just know the desired principles of each course, but also had a deeper understanding which she could share happily. Furthermore, you will assist the very skilled instructors in their team who will be your teachers/advisors throughout your internship. Besides the amazing input and lessons I got from them (Shout out to Best!), working alongside the instructors is also a very nice insight into how working as an instructor could be. All this considered, with a team that embraces you as a family made my internship very fruitful, but also very enjoyable!

Ema –  Me and my boyfriend went on vacation in Thailand and decided to do some dive courses in Koh Phi Phi. We came to Princess Divers as the shop came highly recommended online. I did my Open Water Course with two great instructors, which made me fall in love with scuba diving. I asked them if there was a chance to stay on this island and do more dives and learnt about their Free Divemaster Internship, which we immediately applied for. Once we started the training, I was quite stressed about whether I would succeed in learning how to be a good diver and, most importantly, how to guide underwater, especially since I was the only one who had just started with open water. Luckily, Sal was the best teacher I could ever imagine. She managed to deal with my stress, made me feel safe, and very confident. Not only did she teach us how to be good divers, but also how to prioritize safety for ourselves and our customers. I would always recommend doing the internship with Princess Divers because you have daily contact with customers and learn about the potential problems that can occur during dives, as well as how to manage the stress that people may experience while diving. Besides diving, Sal always made sure that all her interns felt at home and took care of us if we had any problems. I am very grateful for the amazing experience we had.

Nora – I came to Princess as a customer, but I ended up staying longer than expected. The training here goes beyond the basics, genuinely preparing you for success in diving. With our main trainer instructor Sal at the helm, you’re in good hands. The team at Princess feels like family, there is a strong sense of unity and support among us interns. It’s not just about learning, it’s about enjoying the journey. My time at Princess has been rewarding, filled with growth, shared laughter, and unforgettable diving adventures. I owe a big thank you to Princess for turning me from a casual customer into a professional diver.
