| SSI Divemaster Internship Indonesia | Oceans 5 Gili Air |
Becoming a Divemaster is not about collecting another plastic card. It is about becoming a professional role model underwater, learning how to take responsibility for other divers, understanding how a dive center truly operates, and developing the confidence to guide, assist, and protect the underwater world.
At Oceans 5 Gili Air, the SSI Divemaster Internship is designed exactly with that goal in mind. This intensive 6–8 week professional program transforms passionate recreational divers into confident, skilled, environmentally aware Divemasters who understand not only how to dive — but how to work inside a professional Instructor Training Center.
Located on the beautiful island of Gili Air in Indonesia, Oceans 5 combines world-class diving, structured professional training, strong conservation values, and a supportive family atmosphere. The result is a Divemaster internship that prepares you for real employment opportunities and long-term growth in the diving industry.
From Recreational Diver to Confident Professional
Many Divemaster programs focus mainly on minimum standards: demonstrations, stamina tests, paperwork, and a few guiding exercises. While these elements are important, they alone do not create confident professionals.
At Oceans 5 Gili Air, the Divemaster Internship goes much deeper.
You will learn how to:
Assist instructors with real SSI courses
Guide certified divers safely and professionally
Manage dive logistics and boat operations
Communicate clearly with guests and staff
Handle unexpected situations calmly
Protect the marine environment actively
Understand how an Instructor Training Center operates
This is not a simulation program. Oceans 5 runs courses year-round, from beginner divers to instructor candidates. Divemaster interns participate in daily real operations, gaining experience that simply cannot be learned from manuals alone.
Integrated Professional Workshops – Beyond the SSI Curriculum
The SSI Divemaster curriculum forms the foundation of the program. However, Oceans 5 has integrated its own extensive workshop system to create well-rounded professionals.
These workshops are based on decades of operational experience and focus on real-world skills that dive employers value highly.
🌊 Conservation Leadership Workshops
Environmental protection is not a marketing slogan at Oceans 5 — it is a daily responsibility.
Divemaster interns actively participate in:
Leading beach cleanups
Organizing reef cleanups
Waste separation and awareness education
Marine park regulations understanding
Environmental briefings for guests
Interns learn how to motivate volunteers, manage logistics, brief safety and environmental procedures, and turn cleanups into positive community events. This builds leadership skills while strengthening environmental responsibility.
⚓ Instructor Support & Training Center Exposure
As an SSI Instructor Training Center, Oceans 5 regularly conducts professional training programs. Divemaster interns assist with:
Instructor Training Courses (ITC)
Skill circuit preparation
Equipment logistics
Candidate support
Pool and open water organization
This exposure allows interns to understand how instructors are trained and what professional standards truly mean. It creates a strong foundation for those who plan to continue toward instructor level.
🧭 Practical Skill Workshops
Hands-on workshops include:
Compass navigation workshops
Knots and lift bag deployment
Boat handling and boat master workshops
Guiding techniques and briefing skills
Rescue diver refreshers
Emergency management drills

These sessions build confidence, technical precision, leadership presence, and problem-solving abilities.
A Divemaster with Environmental Awareness

You will gain knowledge about:
Coral reef ecosystems
Marine species identification
Responsible diving behavior
Sustainable tourism practices
Marine park regulations
Community engagement
This creates Divemasters who not only guide divers — but actively protect the marine environment and educate guests in a positive way.
