I have just finished my third year of college in College of Charleston's biochemistry department.

I had a friend go through the Subway Watersports internship a while ago and she absolutely loved it. She told me that this is exactly what I needed to do.

Hobbies: hiking, running, playing piano, photography, cooking, traveling, expanding my knowledge of the world, meeting new people, and anything to do with the outdoors or that challenges me physically.

I have been working for The Nature Conservancy for about 3 years in Massachusetts and Texas. My work consisted of GIS, Biological data collection, and firefighting.

Sean Branch, Canada

My name is Sean, I’m from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Although I’m currently living in Halifax right now because I was going to school at Dalhousie University. But after wrecking my truck this summer driving back to Halifax (I hit an Elk, that’s another story) I decided I wanted to do something crazy and fun and this is definitely it.

Hobbies: I used to play a lot of badminton although I haven't in some time, Cooking, hiking, mountain biking, travelling.

Diving Experience: Open Water working on Advanced Open Water 30 logged dives probably done around 80 in total.

I grew up in the northeast, but moved to New Mexico for college. I've been in the desert for about 5 years now and have really missed being near the ocean. Diving is one of my favorite past times and am really looking forward to getting back into it. I studied creative writing in college and writing screenplays is my passion and hopefully one day soon a career. I'm looking forward to having a great time, meeting a bunch of fun people and becoming a better diver.

Hobbies: hiking, sports, traveling, snowboarding, dirt bikes and eating great food to name a few.

Dive experience: Advanced Open Water with roughly 35 dives.

I’ve been travelling Australia for about 2 years contract watermelon picking. It is a physical job with lots of rewards like travelling around Australia and meeting people from all over the world. In 2010 I want to travel the world including Roatan to become a professional diver. This rating will give me jobs around the world to fund my travels and have a wicked time diving and getting paid for it.

Hobbies: fishing, hunting, golf, rugby, surfing, listening to music, diving, travelling and meeting new people.

Dive experience: Advanced open water with 8 dives. And heaps of free diving.

A few years ago I discovered SCUBA and have enjoyed it so much that I would like to make becoming a Divemaster one more fork in the road for me, a fork that will allow me to continue on to becoming an Instructor. I will be starting my third semester in Spanish at university and hope to be able to incorporate a second language into my ultimate goal of being able to dive on a daily basis in the warm waters of the Caribbean or Pacific, introduce others to the captivating world of SCUBA and, perhaps even earn a little money doing so.

Hobbies: Biking, learning Spanish, travel, meeting new challenges/people, and at the same time, somehow being a fulfilling spouse and father.

Diving Experience: Advanced Open Water with 40 plus logged dives

Working in a steel mill for the last 6 years has been a well paying job but the work is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. So I'm hoping to gain enough experience at Subway Watersports in Roatan to become a scuba instructor. I hope to find work somewhere warm and just stay .

Hobbies: I enjoy travelling and experiencing new people. I like doing anything outside and near the water as long as the weather is warm.

Dive experience: I have only started diving a few months ago and am open water certified with about 5 logged dives.

Tired of my job in Dallas, TX and I think it's time to shake things up. I love scuba diving. I daydream about it all day, everyday...so this Divemaster Internship seems like just the thing I need. I would love to start a new career in the dive industry. I can't wait to get there and get started!

Hobbies: Scuba diving (obviously,) traveling and learning about different cultures.

Diving Experience: NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver with 51 logged dives
