Scuba Diving Gap Year Programs

You could find scuba diving jobs abroad or courses in pretty much any body of water in the world—yes ...even somewhere cold (but why?). Let’s take a look at some of the best locations abroad to do a gap year scuba diving programs.

Fiji. It might take a few extra flights to get to this South Pacific country, but it will be so worth it when you adjust to island time. The white sand beaches look airbrushed and the water is so clear you’d first think you wouldn’t even need a snorkel and mask to look under. But yes, you do, and yes, there are handfuls of opportunities here for scuba diving instructor certification.

Indonesia. Mmmm, another IT’S-SO-(FLUFFY)CHARMING-I’M-GOING-TO-DIE country to travel to. Indonesia rests a little bit west of Fiji in the warm waters between Southeast Asia and Australia. Indonesia is an excellent gap year destination, with the conveniences of modern living mixed with the thrill of indulging your soul with some of the best scuba havens in the world. Did I mention there are over 17,000 islands here? How many scuba diving jobs to you think are here? 1...2...Ahhh!!!! Apply for that scuba diving programs already!

Belize. Just a few hours on a plane and you’ll be landing in one of the best countries for scuba diving jobs and courses. Culturally, Belize is such a diverse place while ecologically it is home to the longest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere and the notorious Great Blue Hole diving spot. If you can’t make it all the way over to Australia to find nemo/scuba instructor jobs, it’s 100% perfectly fine to settle here. Take a gap year and reward your spirit with a gap year chock full of wet swimsuits and bleached hair.
