The first professional level in diving is a big step up.

By the end of this course you will be qualified to lead certified divers, assist instructors with student diver training, organize diving logistics (such as arranging equipment, diver flow and delivering briefings) plus conduct refresher courses for divers that have had an extended period without diving.

At The Dive Adventure you will become part of our team. You will get a real insight into how the shop runs and as time passes will adopt more and more responsibility, becoming a critical member of our diving staff. Taking a training internship to become a dive professional is a serious commitment. As such you should enter this program understanding the level of commitment needed to succeed. This doesn't mean that we don't have fun!

The duration of this internship depends on you! The minimum number of dives required to pass is sixty.
We cover a wide range of detailed diving theory such as physics, physiology, dive equipment, environmental considerations, industry and agency standards which we have to operate within and decompression theory.

This is accompanied with a comprehensive program of water work.
You'll take part in several skills circuits, getting your demonstrations up to instructor standard. You'll also map a dive site, undertake an underwater equipment exchange with another diver whilst buddy breathing.
You will also make an emergency assistance plan for Koh Chang and complete a number of stamina exercises.
You'll practice underwater navigation and get to know the dive sites around Koh Chang - by the end of the course you'll be leading our customers on guided dives, briefing them, and controlling them in the water and showing them all the great marine life around the sites.

The biggest section of the internship is to assist our instructors with student divers in training. You'll help out on Open Water courses, advanced courses and even rescues. You'll witness all sorts of student diver difficulties which will prepare you for life after graduation - if you can deal with these you can deal with anything!

The way we structure the course is that you'll be assigned to one instructor as your mentor. They'll make sure you are getting everything you need and are progressing through your course. We'll mix up the academics and water work so that your internship is balanced. If you have areas which need improvement, we can put extra work as you progress.
When assisting on courses you'll get to work with all our instructors, along with students from all over the world. One of the best things about being a dive professional is the rich variety of people that you come into contact with!

After you graduate, the choice is yours! You can stick around on Koh Chang and find work as a Dive master or go can go all the way and start your instructor course!!
You also have a great means of visiting some of the world's most beautiful spots, finding work where other people only dream of travelling - Thailand, The Philippines, Australia, Mexico, The Caribbean or Red Sea . . . . Up to you!
