PADI Divemaster Recommendation for Aussie Divers Phuket

Deciding to take the plunge to become a scuba diving professional, with the PADI Divemaster course, was not a decision that anyone should make lightly, and the most significant decision you will make is choosing the right dive shop for your needs.

I’d racked up my diving qualifications with Aussie Divers Phuket over the years so it was a no brainer to choose them for my PADI Divemaster course.

The team at Aussie Divers Phuket has a plethora of experience from around the world in a range of specialities that go beyond scuba diving which really helped to tailor the course for my needs and interests. I felt I wasn’t just developing to become a competent PADI professional but to become someone who could exist and thrive within the industry of scuba diving.

The staff at Aussie Divers Phuket were one of the main reasons for choosing them for my Divemaster internship, not only are they welcoming and friendly but they helped to put me in a position to succeed. A PADI Divemaster trainee is bound to make mistakes and every member of the team helped to pick me up when I was down. It wasn’t about being perfect immediately, it was about trying to better each day on the journey to becoming a professional.

For me, what sets Aussie Divers apart from almost every other dive shop I looked at was the hands on and practical approach to the PADI Divemaster program. From my first day I was interacting with customers and actively contributing towards the running and efficiency of the business. In a lot of other Dive Shops a Divemaster trainee can be treated like someone to do the jobs everyone else hates but at Aussie Divers Phuket I immediately felt like part of the team.

This real world experience was invaluable, whether it was; helping set up the equipment for the day, assisting on courses, or leading dives, everything was authentic and valuable and helped me to develop my skills as a professional.

All of this is before I’ve mentioned the world class boat and support from the crew. I never felt embarrassed to ask questions or stuck being unsure what to do. Every single person at Aussie Divers, from the instructors, to the boat captain, the cook, management and owner are all contributing to the cause to give the best possible experience as a professional and a customer.

Choosing to become a PADI dive professional is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and doing it with Aussie Divers Phuket made it one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made too.

I highly recommend choosing Aussie Divers for any of your scuba further education but their PADI Divemaster internship is what helped transform me from student to teacher.
