Squatina Diving
Divemaster Internship
One month. 60 to 100 dives. A real dive center on Krk, real students, and your Divemaster training free of charge.
Not a holiday. Something better.
This is the way to become a dive professional: by doing the job. For a month you are part of the Squatina crew, working alongside the team in a real, working dive center. There are real students, real guests and real days, with their sunny moments and their long ones.
It is hard work, and it is also a lot of fun. You will be tired, you will be sunburnt, and you will probably not want to leave.
What you will do
- Welcome guests and look after the dive center day to day
- Prepare equipment and fill cylinders
- Help on boat trips and shore dives
- Assist instructors with Discover Scuba Diving and courses with real students
- Guide certified divers on dives
- Get involved in how the dive center operates, from planning the day to closing it
What you will learn
- Dive theory in depth, including decompression, dive planning and diving medicine
- How equipment works and how to fix it
- Leading and briefing dives like a professional
- Demonstrating the core skills to demonstration quality
- Rescue and emergency management, including oxygen administration
- How a dive business runs, and what the job is really like
You dive a lot. Interns log 60 to 100 dives during their month, so you gain real experience quickly, and most pass the 60 logged dives needed to certify.
Who it is for
Divers who want to turn their hobby into a career, or find out if the dive pro life is for them. You need to be ready for hard work, and to enjoy people.
