Our candidates reviews
Andrea, Switzerland
Getting into the world of dive professionals takes some hard work, but it also gives you some great satisfactions. With the divemaster course you can start to pass your devotion to this sport onto all the customers that set foot into your dive shop. At Dune Malta I was always followed by one or more instructors, that were always available for any type of questions. The center is well equipped, and the best part about my internship was the great amount of practice and training dives I was able to make. During my internship I always felt comfortable, always under supervision of an instructor, and with every day bringing new adventure it is the best preparation to become a great dive professional.
