Scuba Internship Testimonials
“Easy Divers Internships was fantastic. This was my first experience going abroad completely on my own, and it did take some adjustment, but it was also the most fulfilling experience abroad I have ever had. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to do this internship with Easy Divers. They were very supportive and informative all the time”.
Love Your Job, Your Lifestyle and Your Freedom
Get a life worth living: become a PADI Professional.
You’ll do things others only dream of. Whether you work in a local dive shop, at a dive resort or on a liveaboard dive boat, the adventure of a lifetime is yours for the taking.
Imagine a job where you actually look forward to work in the morning. Sailing into incredible sunsets could be the rule, not the exception, especially if you work in a tropical dive destination. The commute to work could be as easy as a ten-minute boat ride and work becomes an adventure in itself.
View the Instructor Development Calendar to start your dream career today.
Or, set your sights closer to home and aspire to work at your local PADI Dive Shop where you’ll teach people scuba diving and guide scuba diving trips to exotic dive destinations. You’ll experience the pride of sharing your passion while helping others enrich their lives through the adventure of diving.
It’s about transformation-both in yourself and those around you. As a PADI Professional, you have the ability to affect change — to help student divers turn anticipation into passion, fear into courage, faint-heartedness into accomplishment and timidy into confidence. You’ll open their eyes to the world underwater, introduce them to vibrant coral reefs and watch them breathe underwater for the first time.
Jobs you might enjoy when you live the dive life as a PADI Professional:
Teach scuba diving lessons to new scuba divers in a land far away or in your own backyard- Help scuba divers improve their skills or learn special skills like underwater photography
- Lead scuba divers on scuba diving trips to exotic locations all around the world
- Captain a dive boat
- Teach diving for your local PADI Dive Center or Resort
- Work on a liveaboard dive boat, where your next dive is right outside your front door
It’s not hard to explain why teaching scuba diving is so rewarding. See what these PADI Pros have to say:
I Share the Awesome Experience of Diving
“I’m a PADI Pro because scuba diving is an experience to share with everyone! As a professional, I can introduce the underwater world to someone for the first time and be the first to see them smile when they discover what fun scuba diving is!”
Andrew Statler, PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
I’m Living My Passion
“Diving is my profession and passion. I’ve been a fulltime professional for over 10 years and my work has taken me to some of the most exotic places on the planet. Sharing my passion is a pleasure and a privilege as is introducing new divers, and helping the more experienced to enjoy the wonders of our exciting world beneath the waves”.
Mike Harris, PADI Master Instructor
For the Fun, Excitement, Camaraderie
“After my first trip to Bonaire, I fell in love with the sport, and before I knew it, I was an Assistant Instructor! I enjoy passing on my knowledge and love of scuba diving to many students…some of whom have since become good friends. Our dive shop plans social events for all of us to come to share our stories and just simply hang out with friends. Right now, we are all counting the days until our trip to Roatan, Honduras.” Karen Murphy, Assistant Instructor
I Love My Job!
“I love my job! Why? It is a true pleasure working with people that are always happy, I can do it anywhere in the world, I go to marvelous places and I get paid! To look into the eyes of those who say that they have always wanted to try it but have been scared and then to have them learn and then see their smile of satisfaction is priceless! To watch your divers shine like complete professionals enjoying their dive, to get to know great people throughout the world, always enjoying work because you are always surprised at the new things you see at the bottom of the ocean, living in the Caribbean! To understand that although everyone is different once we learn to dive we all become special beings, your life can never again be the same and you had something to do with it. And I always have an ocean view!”
Laura Manjarrez, IDC Staff Instructor
Penny Holmes, Divemaster Internship, England
“My experience with Easy Divers was amazing! I received a grant from my university to study and Easy Divers was able to provide me with a wonderful environment that would meet all my needs for my marine research project. For the month of July I worked in the water every day. The instructors there were fabulous, they always took the time to explain logistics, procedures and allowed me to guide the divers and give briefings. In addition to the many times I observed dive courses, Zenobia wreck dives, and the assisting of the logistical day to day running of the dive centre”.
Jeanine Simpson, Divemaster Internship USA
“I have recently returned from Easy Divers and must confess that the experience was a most satisfying and enriching one. Both the Easy Divers staff and colleagues (in the dive shop where I did my internship mainly) were good and very experienced and knowledgeable during my program. Besides, everybody in the centre, they all took care of me and was interested in what I am doing and my career in the dive industry. I felt very comfortable all the time”.
Michael Schoner, Instructor Internship, Germany
“Through this internship, I was able to put a lot of the skills I had previously learned to good use. I feel much more comfortable working with websites, and I gained a lot of experience working in a professional setting. I think I have met all my goals, even more than I expected. Joey was very thorough and experienced in diving and web design. He know how it worked and pointed me in the right direction. His knowledge and skill in and out of the water is second to none! ”
Thank you Easy Divers for all your help.
Mandy Ditherman, Instructor Internship, UK
“My internship was the perfect way to learn about the field of public health. I obtained valuable experience collaborating on a project with various physicians, and found an insight into what I am looking for in a profession. This type of information is priceless, and can’t be taught in a classroom!”
William Morcomb, Medicine Internship, Canada
“My Easy Divers internship was an extremely valuable experience. This internship allowed me to see how the marketing and sales strategies that I learned at the University work in the actual marketplace. Dealing with real clients and have real experiences helped me more in my understandings. I also developed skills in sales, marketing, advertising, organization and time management as well as the scuba diving. Without the opportunity to be an intern, I honestly do not think I would have been fully prepared to enter the business world. I plan to open my own dive centre in the very near future. Once again thanks Easy Divers and Course Director Joey A. Ridge.”
Anthony Johnson, Divemaster/Instructor Internship, England
