Career Packages
Are you dreaming hanging up your suit
and tie, leaving the office behind and reaching for your
wetsuit, suntan lotion and towel and looking for a life
in the sun and sea ???
Are you leaving college eager to leap
into the excitement and adventure of the underwater world
and planning on diving your way around the world ??
Or do you just fancy working in an industry
which allows you to meet people, go places, and see things
most people only ever dream of .. ???
Many people work part time in the dive
industry not only do they have their "desk job" but
as a PADI instructor they can earn extra money, teach their
friends and family, and of course meet people, go places
and see things most people only ever dream of . !!!
Whatever your reasons for choosing to become a
PADI Instructor you will find that it not only
allows you to find work almost anywhere in the world.
.. but also that it is way of life . !!
We have put together the following Career Preparation Packages to
help you reach your goal in a comprehensive, professional manner yet taking cost,
experience and time into account.
Our Career Preparation Package consists of 3 phases:
Phase 1 - The Initial Preparation phase: takes the Open Water
Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver or Rescue Diver through to the Divemaster
level and allows for a certain amount of personal choice and flexibility.
Phase II - The Intermediate Preparation Phase: takes the Divemaster
through to the basic Instructor Level.
Phase III - The Advanced Instructor Phase: takes the Instructor
through a series of Speciality Instructor Training Programs preparing you for
work in the "real world" by giving you training in some of the most
sought after PADI Instructor Qualifications.
To qualify you MUST complete ALL THREE PHASES !!!
Please read through the phases below and plan your future .. if anything is
unclear or you would like to know more about them please contact Chris.
