Take the less traveled, more challenging path toward becoming a certified PADI Divemaster. Discover the Divemaster + Intern Program. A unique Broadreach experience.
Only Broadreach would offer the kind of professional scuba training course that demands more of its candidates, pushes them further, and transforms them into professional divers and more confident leaders. The Divemaster Intern program starts off like any other Divemaster course. Students undergo 7-days of intensive dive training, covering in-class dive theory as well as in-water simulations and skill demonstration. From there, the candidates push off onto one of several Broadreach boats, working closely with Broadreach staff and mentoring small groups of students, in and out of the water.
“Best idea ever to give our son this opportunity to explore the ocean and himself. He 'got it', the big picture I mean.” — Susan Stevens, Louisville, KY
Upon successful completion of this course, students will earn the rating of PADI Divemaster, and possess the dynamic skills we look for when hiring future Broadreach staff members. This course is competitive. Once your initial application is complete, a secondary application will be sent to you.
