We are thrilled that you are considering joining the team at Sun Diving Centre for your Divemaster Internship.

We would like to share a bit more information about how our internship program works, the schedule, and a breakdown of the costs and inclusions if you are selected for the team.

Program Overview & Schedule

Duration: The internship is a comprehensive four-month program designed to give you hands-on, real-world experience in a busy dive centre.

Working Hours: Your day-to-day hours will be 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in alignment with our dive centre’s opening hours.

Time Off: You will receive six scheduled days off per month to rest, explore, and recharge. We will create a volunteer/intern schedule to ensure everyone gets their well-deserved downtime.

What We Offer (In Return for Your Hard Work)

Free Divemaster Training: We completely waive the instructor and training fees for your Divemaster course (which usually costs $1,080 USD).

Accommodation & Meals: You will receive shared accommodation, as well as breakfast and lunch on your working days.

Household Essentials: We supply basic home comforts for your accommodation, including tea, coffee, sugar, and cooking oil.

Course Prerequisites & PADI Fees

Rescue & EFR Certifications: If you are not yet Rescue & EFR certified, you can complete these with us at a heavily discounted rate (if you already hold these certifications, feel free to ignore this part!):

Rescue Course: $195 USD (50% off our standard $390 USD rate)

EFR Course: $85 USD (50% off our standard $170 USD rate)

PADI Materials & Membership: You will be responsible for purchasing the PADI e-learning/theory materials (approximately 170 AUD) and paying your final PADI Membership fee at the end of your training (approximately 260 AUD). Please note that PADI occasionally adjusts these fees yearly, which is outside of our control.

Next Steps

Because our last season has only just wrapped up, we will be taking the next few months to review applications and shortlist candidates. We will reach out to you as soon as we have an update on your application.

If you have any questions in the meantime, or if there is any additional information you would like to share with us, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email.

We look forward to staying in touch!
