Internships and Workshops

Before you start your PADI Instructor course, we give you the option to come and get more experience as a Divemaster.

We include skill circuits and dive theory workshops, so you will feel ready to roll on the IDC!

If you just recently finished your Divemaster course and feel ready, you don’t have to take this time before your IDC. We also had people who are residing in Malta, who took days on weekends or on their days off, we are flexible with timings. The offer stands naturally for the time after you have finished the IE and became a PADI Open Water Instructor! Tag along on running courses with real students, team teach with one of our instructors who can guide you to get the hang of teaching in real life.
