I'm a Fish!
Go Pro Cayman has revamped their entire Go Pro curriculum. We have listened to our customers and now offer internship programs. Our Free Divemaster program became reality mid way through 2009 and has proven to be a very popular choice. Simply pre-pay for the Instructors Development Course and training materials at the beginning of the Divemaster Internship course and the Divemaster training is Free. The Divemaster course will take divers through a month long intensive training experience.
During the Divemaster program you will learn how to observe, assist and supervise certain diving activities. Your diving skills will be tested and perfected through a series of confined water exercises and also a series of academic lectures. Once students have gone through some of the training experience they will be able to get real hands on experience as a Divemaster in training. During this experience students will get many opportunities that will range from helping crew on a dive boat to assisting and demonstrating skills for Open Water dive students. While on the boats students will gain experience dealing one on one with customers. Students will help divers set up their gear, get customers into the water, and lead customers around some of Grand Cayman’s amazing dive sites. After the dive students will get experience on getting a dive boat ready for the next dive charter.
Once the Divemaster course is completed you will enter the Instructor Development Course where you will further refine your skills and learn teaching procedures and methods.
After completing the Instructor Development Course students will go strait into the Instructors Exam.
For the newer divers that want to work their way up the PADI system and log the required number of dives to become a pro our long term programs are designed to do just that.

THE ULTIMATE IN
DIVE N SURF
After listening to and surveying our customers, Go Pro Cayman has decided to cross market two closely intertwined sports, diving and surfing. We all know that a great dive is a huge adrenaline rush and riding your first wave is addictive. What better way to gain the dive N surf mentality by combining the adventure, the rush, and the lifestyle that both diving and surfing offers.
Go Pro Cayman has teamed up with the Surf Team from Black Pearl Surf Park to offer Caymans first dual Dive N Surf package. The surf coaches from Black Pearl use innovative and progressive methods of teaching which will make the learning process fun. Trust us, these boys know how to surf!
Your first session will cover the elements of the surfboard and accessories along with a safety review and identifying surfing hazards. You’ll also learn if you have a goofy stance or a natural stance as you learn how to get up on a surfboard.
Next you’ll experience riding under and over magical blue curls of water as you are introduced to the Black Pearl Surf Machine. This self contained wave is generated by a continuous flow of water which can vary from 10,000 gallons per minute up to 150,000 gallons per minute. This is a thrilling experience that combines balance, strength, skill and poise to create an adrenaline-pumping experience that you won’t soon forget.
You’ll also have the opportunity of putting your new found skills in to real practice as you surf some of Grand Caymans known surf spots. Depending on the time of year, will dictate the size of the surf in Caymans. Most swells average 3-5’ with the exception of our NW’ers which can be much bigger.
The amount of surfing will vary with each Dive N Surf package, but they will all average 2 sessions per week up until the professional level of diving takes place. The Dive N Surf packages are included with our Open Water to Divemaster course, our Open Water to Instructors course, the Advanced to Instructors course and the Rescue to Instructor course. No surfing will be available during any of the Instructors Development Course, the Instructors Exams, or during Instructor Specialty training.
