Divemaster (PADI): this is the first PADI professional level and Divemasters are employed in dive centres around the world to organise dive trips and lead divers underwater.  Gaining the PADI Divemaster qualification can lead on to paid jobs as a Divemaster and is also the first step in a professional dive career.  We usually advise that people go to Divemaster initially and then deicide whether to go on to Instructor.  More details about our Divemaster courses is available.

Instructor (PADI): this is the next level up from Divemaster and PADI Instructors look after teaching students how to dive or take their dive training further.  As a PADI Instructor you are in a great position to find paid diving jobs as there is demand for Instructors all around the world.  Detailed information on our Instructor courses is available.

Videographer: this is a chance to explore a completely different aspect to diving, making dive film and videos of marine life and dive students learning to dive.  If you are a keen photographer or videographer this is a great way to develop new skills and explore the underwater world.  Read more about our exciting videographer course.

The location: we organise diving in two great locations, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and the fantastic tropical island of Koh Tao in Thailand.  Both offer great diving and an amazing lifestyle.

PADI: all our dive courses are PADI certified, the world's largest dive training and certification body.  PADI qualifications are recognised worldwide so you will be able to dive in any location with your PADI qualifications.

Scuba diving holidays: 1-2 week PADI learn to dive courses in Australia and Thailand. These dive courses can either be a holiday in themselves or easily incorporated into other travels.

Gap years: our dive courses are an ideal option for people on their gap year as they give the chance to do something different in an amazing location, gain new skills and meet new people.  They are also ideal for people who aren't taking a full gap year but still want to do something during the summer, or University students during their summer holiday.  More details of our gap year scuba diving courses in Australia and Thailand is available.
