DM
interns learn to scuba dive
and become a PADI professional Divemaster within our intensive 3 month
diving internship program. This course is held in Pattaya (Jomtien),
Chonburi, Thailand. Once qualified as a dive master you will be
eligible to assist instructors with student training, conduct open
ocean dive tours for certified divers and assist with the day to day
operation of a functional dive shop. This is the first professional
"internationally recognized" rating on the PADI ladder but can be used
as a passport to work in most countries world wide.

164,000 Thai Baht (Advanced Diver = 184,000 - 20,000 (equip) = 164,000)
- If you are
