Internship Program

Why an Internship.....

The Internship program is a unique opportunity to join a program that can train you

for a future in the Scuba Diving Industry. Dive Centres & Resorts around the world are

looking for Professionals that can be utilised immediately, not undergo practical

experience first.

An internship’s length is a good thing, as it allows the trainees to gain more

experience than those who rush through courses.

This experience also applies to more than diving, trainees are expected to help run the

dive centre and therefore learn valuable skills in other areas, from using compressors,

to equipment maintenance and repairs, to retail skills.

All of these attributes make a Dive Professional more employable upon earning their

Professional qualification.

Internship graduates have an edge. Above all, the internship is fun, offering support,

friendship and camaraderie with like minded people.

What is the diving like.....

Sodwana Bay is considered to be among the premier dive sites of the world, it is

home to the southern most tropical coral reefs on the planet which are further

south than the Great Barrier Reef.

The reef has an incredibly dense coral cover and wide diversity of fish, crustaceans

and more with over 1200 species having been recorded in the area

Is it all about diving.....

For the avid ocean enthusiasts, sea turtle tours, ocean tours, kitesurfing, learning

about sharks, fishing and much more is on the menu and Sodwana Bay will meet

your highest expectations. While on land, go quad biking or on nature walks.
