I'm a Fish!
We're looking for adventurous people who want to learn to dive as part of a PADI Divemaster Internship while living on the beach in exotic Tofo, Mozambique.

We'll train you to be a divemaster even if you've never dived before.

Praia do Tofo or simply Tofo is a small town in southeastern Mozambique. The town lies on the Indian Ocean coast, on Ponto do Barra peninsula in Inhambane Province, 22 km drive from Inhambane city. A major Mozambican tourist destination, Tofo is home to beach villas and diving retreats, with tourists drawn by a long Indian Ocean beach front and nearby reefs which attract sealife. Along with Manta Rays and Sea Turtles, Tofo is one of the best destinations for divers to see Whale Sharks.

Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. PADI Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for both the PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.

During the PADI Divemaster program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others improve their scuba. You put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.

After becoming certified as a PADI Divemaster you will be authorized to:

* Supervise both training and non-training-related activities by planning, organizing and directing dives
* Assist a PADI Instructor during the training sessions for any PADI Diver course
* Conduct the PADI Skin Diver course and PADI Discover Snorkeling program
* Conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experience
* Conduct the PADI Scuba Review program
* If qualified as a Discover Scuba Diving Leader, independently conduct the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program.
* Earn the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty Instructor rating to be able to teach the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer specialty.
* Independently guide Open Water Diver course students on the tour portion of Open Water Diver course Training Dives 2, 3 and 4 at a ratio of two student divers per certified divemaster.
* Accompany Open Water Diver students under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor during:
o surface swims to and from the entry/exit point and during navigational exercises
o when the instructor conducts a skill, such as an ascent or descent, a Divemaster can remain with other student divers (with an individual student or buddy team)
* Accompany student divers during Adventure Dives or Specialty training dives under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor.
* Conduct the PADI Seal Team Skin Diver Specialist AquaMission
* Conduct subsequent dives under an instructor’s indirect supervision for Discover Scuba Diving participants after participants have satisfactorily completed the first dive with a PADI Instructor.
* Teach Emergency First Response courses after successfully completing an Emergency First Response Instructor course.
 
Hi i realise this was posted 5 months ago but I am very interested in coming to Tofo and doing my scuba internship. Please let me know if this position is available. I have my openwater 1 and would like to become an instructor.
 
Dan, I hope you have done a little research and have sent them an e-mail by now. I'm sure you realize that they aren't sitting by the PC just looking for replies to their ScubaBoard post. Also, you should assume that you are paying a significant amount of money for the courses. Don't be surprised. Good luck.
 
Realistically, this is a course, not an offer of employment. Every PADI dive shop offers DM courses and internships. It's a bit deceptive posting it in the 'help wanted' forum.
