enthusiastic candidates Only
Entering
The Dive Industry
Why do we only offer a limited amount of free Divemaster Internships?
The simple answer is quality not quantity, we are not looking to create a “Divemaster Factory” we are looking for young enthusiastic candidates who want to to become professional Scuba Divers and work in the Diving Industry. Depending on the time of year we normally start 3 or 4 new Divemaster Interns each month, working as a Divemaster is not for everybody and this is not a holiday program, you must be comfortable in the water, willing and able to work hard in conditions that sometimes can be stressful and challenging.
Our Divemaster Internship program has become well known worldwide for producing quality Divemaster’s and thus we receive a lot of applications for these limited places, We are not looking just for the numbers, we are looking for the right people to become a part of our team and who we are proud to call our staff and take care of our valued customers.

Why Choose Princess Divers?
The Best
Parts
No 60 Dive limit – We will only certify you when we are 100% confident that you are ready to be called a Divemaster and represent our company by Diving with our valued customers. Some Internship programs charge extra for dives if you go over the “60 dive limit”
No 4 Week limit – Everybody who arrives, has a different level of experience and number of dives, and everybody learns at a different pace, we certify you only when you are ready, not by a set time limit.
No Shop Work – It is illegal to work in Thailand without a work permit, these are only available to Instructors who can commit to 6 months or longer. In the past this has been overlooked and Dive Centers allowed people to work selling during their Internships, from the 1st of January 2018 the Thai authorities have made it clear this will no longer be tolerated and will check from time to time without warning.
No Filling Tanks & Cleaning Equipment – Many Internship programs use Interns for filling tanks and cleaning dive equipment after a days diving, this is actually illegal in Thailand to protect jobs for Thai people. Dive Centers offering you this are putting you at risk of breaking the law, just so they can save money on employing Thai staff.
