PADI Adaptive Divemaster Internship
As one of only a few Disabled Divers International Instructor Trainer facilities around the world we are passionate about getting all people into the water and diving. The unique PADI Adaptive Divemaster Internship will give you the knowledge and skills to assist divers with varying amounts of phial ability to safely dive.
This program will certify you in Oxygen Provider, PADI’s new Adaptive Teaching Specialty, EFR Instructor and also Disabled Divers International Divemaster level. DDI is a dive training organisation that focuses on teaching adaptive techniques for diving with a wide array of ability.
DDI professional training adds to the diving professional a new set of tools and knowledge to train disabled divers safely and certify their students as a scuba diver, with varied levels of limitations depending on the student’s ability to perform program requirements and standards.
Scuba diving has shown numerous advantages as a social and physical rehabilitation of disabled individuals, allowing them to interact in a near weightless state, with many feeling that the normal obstacles and restrictions their disability gives them on land, disappears in water when given the right equipment and training.
Diving for all!
