Depending on your level of qualification, the Divemaster internship program can take between 6 to 14 weeks. This includes 2 days off per week, these days will be flexible during each week depending on the dive program. This gives you a perfect amount of time to discover what beautiful secrets Tenerife has to offer! This program can be customized to comfort your needs.
Time off!
During your time off you have the opportunity to explore this beautiful island. What this does is relax your mind of just the diving world and enjoy what the island has to offer. Our team has a vast knowledge of the island. Ask them about what to do during your down time. What we love about Tenerife is that not only is the diving amazing, but also the Island. You can hire a car and drive the beautiful cliffs of Los Gigantes or maybe visit the bohemian town of ‘El Medano’ or stay at the sunny beaches from Playa de Las Americas. Whatever you choose, you will have plenty of time to see the island.

It will give you an understanding of what other divers expect from a PADI Professional Divemaster.
Don’ts
At Aquarius Dive Center, we would like to point out we run our internship a lot differently to many other centers.
We are a dive center that wants our students to learn each and every day. However, also understand that we would never give tasks we would not do ourselves.
Here are a few examples of what we do not do;
- We do not turn our interns into tank monkeys. This is an internship not a cheap labour camp. (Tank Monkey = Someone who just moves all the cylinders to and from the compressor and taking them on and off the boat/van)
- We do not just do dives for the sack of diving. The time spent under the surface has a purpose and you will achieve goals after each dive!
- We do not dive in the same location, repeatedly, day after day. To become a well-trained diving professional, you must explore different diving spots with different layouts and challenges.
- Every dive you do will be with a trained professional. We do not allow other students to train each other.
- We cannot stress enough how we want each student that comes through Aquarius Dive Center that you feel like you are part of the team. We can all learn from each other, no matter how much experience someone has. You are not a number, but valued team member that can bring a different look on situations.
- There are no hidden costs in our internship. Please read our text to make sure you know what you will be paying for, EVERYTHING is there.
Experienced team of professionals
During your Divemaster internship, you will be guided through by our highly experienced team of professionals, more than 33 years of experience in diving and the international diving industry will definitely make the difference.
We want to make clear that our internship is not looking for cheap labor to work in our dive center. We offer a very high quality Divemaster internship, that is taught on the job at our dive center, tailor made according to your qualification, experience and learning ability, with no short cuts!
Committed to Excellence
We are a PADI 5 star IDC , PADI TecRec, Scubapro S.E.A. and Scubapro Demo dive center.
PADI 5 star IDC dive center assures you will be getting a top quality PADI Divemaster Internship program managed by full time dive professionals. Our expertise and time spent in the field of professional diving are something we are extremely proud of here at Aquarius.
Scubapro S.E.A. – Demo center. We work closely with Scubapro who share our ethos of top quality and good customer service. All our rental and course equipment, manufactured by Scubapro, is kept in excellent condition and covers a wide range of set ups.
As one of the few PADI TecRec centers in Tenerife we give you the possibility to enroll in our Discover Tec Diving program. This unique opportunity allows you to experience diving with twin cylinders and a wing system equipped with a long hose configuration. We also extend the same offer for Sidemount and Tec Sidemount training, providing insight into the diverse options available in the diving world and helping you determine what best suits during specific diving activities.
These programs are led by Harry, a Tec Deep Instructor who possesses a profound passion and extensive expertise in technical diving. Harry not only learned the craft but also applied it worldwide for many years. An outstanding benefit of joining these programs is acquiring the ability to assist divers regardless of their equipment setup, and developing the confidence to offer guidance when they select their gear.
