Diving Tenerife ~ Divemaster Intern update for June 2012

So after a busy month a May and saying goodbye to 3 of our interns Dannii, Hannah & Manon, we was left with Chris & Alex.

 However we have also been joined by Suzy a Rescue Diver & Jason a non-diver.

So lets start with Alex who joined us in April.

He joined us as a non-diver and was previously working on the Cruise ships as a photographer. Alex has managed to complete lots of PADI courses whilst here with Amarilla Divers. Here is the courses Alex has completed

PADI Open Water
PADI Advanced Open Water
PADI Rescue
EFR primary Care
EFR Secondary Care
EFR AED's
PADI Divemaster
PADI Deep Diver
PADI Digital Underwater Photography
PADI underwater Navigation
PADI Night Diver
PADI Enriched Air Diver
PADI Master Scuba Diver.

He has also had over 70 dives at many different dive sites and has spent lots of time with his skill circuits, skill demonstration, theory exams, dive guiding, customer services, try dives and much more.

Alex has come a long way and we are very happy to send him off into the world if diving as a confident Divemaster. He will be leaving for Scotland this week and then will be travelling and we think his first stop will be Thailand.

The team at Amarilla Divers wish him the best of luck and safe diving. Well done Alex


Next we have Chris who also joined us in April from the North of Tenerife.

Chris came to Amarilla Divers as an open Water diver with only 5 dives. Chris is an avid surfer and normally spends most of his time on top of the water. This has changed since he joined our Divemaster Internship. Chris has been very busy whilst down South and has completed all the following courses.

PADI Advanced Open Water
PADI Rescue
EFR primary Care
EFR Secondary Care
EFR AED's
PADI Divemaster
PADI Deep Diver
PADI Digital Underwater Photography
PADI underwater Navigation
PADI Night Diver
PADI Enriched Air Diver
PADI Master Scuba Diver.

Chris has accumulated over 70 dives whilst on his internship and has been guiding dives, briefing dives, conducting try dives in the pool and much more. 


We now have 2 new Divemaster interns and we start with Jason, who is from the South Coast of the UK and came to Amarilla Divers as a referral...in both meanings.

Jason is a close friend of Mary's sister who recommended he join our team for the summer. He also had just completed a PADI referral from the UK where Jason completed the pool sessions and theory for the PADI Open Water course. He then joined us here for his open water dives and the rest of his PADI courses to meet requirements for Divemaster status.

We will be keeping you updated with his progress over the next few weeks.


Our latest divemaster intern to join our team is Suzy.

Last year we met Suzy' Dad Stephen who came over for some dives. Stephen met some of our divemaster interns at that time and mentioned that maybe Suzy would like to join the team for the summer as part of her Gap Year. 

Suzy is already trained to PADI Rescue Diver with 20 dives and will be spending around 6 weeks here at Amarilla Divers to complete her PADI DIvemaster certification and also her PADI Master Scuba Diver with the 5 PADI Specialties.

We will be updating the blog with the divemaster interns progress over the coming weeks.

If you would like to join our Divemaster Internship, or know someone who may be interested, then please contact Mary directly on mary@amarilladivers.com 

We have internship placements throughout the year and ALL training is FREE aswell as all the diving. Interns are responsible for their own material costs, PADI fees and living costs.
