About instructor internships in Indonesia

When teaching under the guidance of senior instructor you will:

  • Learn how to structure your daily courses and accommodate various schedules
  • Earn certifications and work towards achieving your MSDT rating – these are earned…not guaranteed
  • Have real-life experience – this is no longer your IDC – this is the application of what you’ve learned for safety & standards, people, sales, group management, etc.

 

An immersive intro to working as an instructor

However, it is not just about teaching under the guidance of a senior instructor. Our free internship is an immersive intro to working as an instructor. This means that you will be teaching under supervision but also performing all duties expected of our instructors in all aspects of the dive center such as course admin, sales, social media, talking to guests, anything else that comes up. We are also happy to extend the internship but only if circumstances allow.

During the internship we expect you to act as a professional at all times, this includes adhering to our work-hours, wearing Two Fish Divers t-shirt when at the resort at all times, and being part of the team reporting the Dive Manager.

Your responsibilities while interning with us

You will be interacting with our guests and staff, and we reserve the right to cancel the internship at any time due to the candidate being unprofessional or not fulfilling his/her obligations.

You will also be part of the dive team, and as team work in the dive center is the most important thing we reserve the right to cancel the internship at any time due if the candidates does not gel as part of the team.

On the flip side, we often hire full-time instructors and dive manager trainees from our internship as the time with us gives us a chance to know you – and you us!

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME

  • Understand our shop procedures including customer registration, log books, front office, equipment rooms & rental check outs, computers / compasses, dive planning, classroom, boat procedures, range and price of courses offered, etc.
  • Show up prepared – study and bring your slates, know your standards – paperwork and practical, and dive requirements – you will not just be assisting, you will be teaching entire courses!

Please note: you need to have done your IDC & MSDT within the last month, and the location of your internship will based on student/course numbers and bookings
