Internship availability

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.

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. I worked on Fire crews in the west during the summer wildfire season. I have always wanted to work underwater. The dive master internship seemed like a great way to get a jump start to a career working underwater. I would like to own and operated an adventure company in the future.

Hobbies: travel, backpacking, biking, photography, rafting, experiencing new things, and cooking

Dive experience: certified open water in college, but never had the opportunity to use it after graduating.

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

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania studying business and Spanish. I have been around the water since I was born and have been diving since the age of 10. I think that this program will be an excellent opportunity to not only advance my diving skills but also advance my Spanish-speaking abilities.

Hobbies: waterskiing, wakeboarding, snow skiing, cooking, traveling, and taking on new experiences

Diving experience: advanced open water with 31 logged dives

Alex Stimac, USA

I am entering into the field of teaching and part of my career goal has always been to spend my summers as a divemaster or instructor. I just finished school in December, so the next logical step is to get divemaster certified. Diving has been in my family since before I was born, and has been a passion of mine since I began at age 12.

Hobbies: I think my background in biology will certainly be helpful as a tool for me to explain marine life to customers. I also love travelling, meeting people, and spending time in the sun.
