Merlin Divers

Did the Divemaster Internship with Robert and Ulysse and then stayed on and worked for Merlin as a DM for 10 months after. Clearly, I must have liked it. Robert can be a tough boss, but he has a heart of gold, and he gave me a great experience of what it was like to work in the diving industry. You're not required to spend any time in the shop selling fun dives or courses, or filling tanks or other grunt work, you are just there to learn how to be a great DM and you will get tons of experience guiding customers through the internship. Big shoutout to Instructor Ulysse. They say that the only thing that matters when choosing where to do a course is the instructor, and man, I lucked out. He is the most capable and thorough instructor I have ever met and I would trust him with my life 100 times over. Miss you guys already!

We were a big group 8 candidates all starting at the same time. I found friends for life! We learned together, we dove together and we spent our free time together. The program offered way over100 dives and at the end we were very proud to have all succeed and finished to be certified DIVEMASTERS!

Gives you a great feel for the industry and adequately prepares you for your diving career. Shows you how a dive centre can and should be run. Owner and manager Robert is always very helpful and professional.

From my first contact almost 2 yrs before joining the intern program it was a great experience. Diving was a passion that went unrealized for almost 20yrs; as work and life got in the way. I was given the opportunity to be a DM candidate to fill my dream of being a dive pro. It was 3 months of intense on the job training. 111 dives 5435 minutes underwater 97 days 5 stitches And most of all new lifelong friends It was an incredibly fulfilling,informative , intense learning internship. Most of my fellow candidates are now instructors! You get to work hard and enjoy being in Thailand! I am now a Dive Master at 55yrs old and retired. It's never too late. Thank you Merlin Divers
