ABOUT DIVEMASTER INTERNSHIPS
With Two Fish Divers
The PADI Divemaster course is your first step towards a professional scuba career. During our comprehensive program you will work closely with our team of experienced PADI Instructors assisting with student divers and developing your leadership abilities.
The course covers all aspects of being a dive pro from understanding the theory of being a Divemaster, to using a SMB and mapping a dive site. You will gain valuable experience, knowledge and dive skills, and on completion you will be ready and prepared to lead others into the water, confident in the knowledge that you are able to safely deal with any situation.
Our Divemaster Internship is designed to be completed over 4 weeks, and will cover all the PADI curriculum components, plus your chance to build on that during an internship period. We do not have any fixed schedule, so you can start your internship when convenient.
You can also extend your training to maximise your learning experience, for example:
- If you have the luxury of time, you can extend this internship by a further 2 weeks to make a 6-week Extended Divemaster Internship
- If you do not have the required 40 dives to start the DM course, you can take our 6-week Divemaster Internship with a special price for an extra 22 fun-dives before your DM starts, and we’ll also throw in a special price for more fun dives!
- You can also add on some specialities like Deep Diving and Nitrox to give you more experience, and if you take 5 specialities then we’ll offer a special 5-pack price!
During your internship you will see how it feels to work as a PADI Divemaster in a busy dive resort, “shadowing” our experienced staff. You will meet our guests – novice and seasoned divers – help our staff guide certified divers, and assist our Instructors with training courses. Your Divemaster duties can include pool demo’s, sales, planning and conducting dive excursions, and of course plenty of diving!
It was a great experience to be able to do this training in three different Two-Fish Divers locations (South Gillis/Lombok, Bunaken and Lembeh). I would like to thank all instructors for their excellent teaching and for sharing their experiences with me. I also should thank the Two-Fish Divers staff from this three locations for their warm welcome and all their support during my internship.

DIVEMASTER INTERNSHIP COMBO
As we are the only operator with dive centers/resorts across Indonesia
you can choose from any of our great locations, as single location for the entire time or as a combo:
- The magical walls of Bunaken Marine Park
- Mantas and Mola-Molas of Nusa Lembongan
- Capital of turtles in Gili Air
- The chance to see hammerhead sharks in South Lombok
- Diving on the famous Liberty shipwreck in Amed (Bali mainland)
- The fascinating muck diving of the Lembeh Straits
Most people tend to do about 10-14 days in each location, so if they are on a 6-week internship then they will do a combo of 2-3 locations. This gives them some great experience of diving different locations as well as how different dive shops operate. You can check out the blog posts of our DM students to get a feel for what they did and how their internship went.
However, combo in different locations comes with a cost – Indonesia is a huge place and there will be transport costs involved. We have put together a blog post about planning dive trips to Indonesia that may be of some help to you.

Amazing. Loved the flexibility of learning at my own pace.
Excellent material. Never thought it would be such a convenient way of learning.
The PADI Divemaster course is the first professional level within the PADI System of diver education and allows you to work as a training assistant on PADI courses and programs, supervise certified divers during pleasure diving experiences, and conduct some PADI programs independently. Becoming a PADI Divemaster consists of the following segments: knowledge development, practical application and the Divemaster final exam. The online portion of the course, PADI Divemaster Online, covers nine topics that prepare you for the practical sessions needed to complete the Divemaster course. Through PADI’s eLearning® system and practical segments of the Divemaster course, you become well prepared to work as a PADI Divemaster.
Prior to enrolling in PADI Divemaster Online, you must be at least 18 years old, have a current medical attesting to your diving fitness signed by a physician within the previous 12 months, and be a certified PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue or hold qualifying certifications from another dive training organization. You must also have completed a Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary and Secondary Care course (or other sanctioned first aid and CPR course) within the past 24 months and be able to prove that you have completed at least 40 dives (60 before being able to complete the Divemaster course with experience of deep dives, night dives and underwater navigation). If you have any questions as to whether you meet the necessary prerequisites, please email us direct.
After enrolling, PADI’s eLearning system presents you with interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics and reading. Short quizzes let you gauge your progress and review and correct anything you might happen to miss. This lets you move through the program efficiently and at your own pace.
The eLearning portion of the course is $200 (US) nonrefundable. This is an additional cost to the price of the course.
Other costs – There is a separate application fee due to PADI that needs to be submitted with the Divemaster application once the course is successfully completed.
Materials – The PADI Divemaster Online program will provide you with perpetual access to an ebook version of the PADI Divemaster manual, a required material. However, to complete the PADI Divemaster course, you also need a current PADI Instructor Manual, both the Table RDP and eRDPML, The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving, and a set of the PADI Divemaster slates. These will be provided by us as part of your Divemaster Course.
Please contact us to discuss total courses costs, equipment, materials and logistical requirements.
Once you successfully complete Divemaster Online, you will need to successfully complete several practical assessments, workshops and other assignments with us on your internship. You will also need to complete the Divemaster Final Exam as well as meet the professionalism criteria.
The eLearning segment of the course is available for one year from the time of course registration. Though you must finish the online portion of the course within that time frame, you will have perpetual access to an online version of the PADI Divemaster manual.
Once you finish the eLearning portion of the course, your dive center is notified that you have completed it and that you are ready for the practical phase of the Divemaster course. At the end of the eLearning program, you can print out your eRecord and bring a copy of it with you when you visit us.
You can start your life changing journey right now! Please click here to go to our page on PADI website for your e-Learning Registration.
