The best experience

After researching so many different divemaster internships, I knew Indo Ocean Project was the one. I gained a huge amount of diving experience in 3 months as well as contributing to marine conservation efforts through becoming a research/survey diver.
The course is extremely well organised and each day is filled with diving, workshops and other activities. I learnt so much about the amazing species you find in these waters and was then lucky enough to dive with them!
The best thing about the IOP internship is the people. The staff are absolutely incredible, going above and beyond to build your confidence and I felt supported every step of the way. I feel like I’ve grown so much as a person through their guidance. It was also amazing to make friends with the locals on Nusa Penida and immersing into the island community.
And then you have the other interns, a family away from home and best friends for life. I’ve had the best time, feel so grateful, and cannot wait to go out into the world as a divemaster and work in the marine conservation industry. Thank you to everyone at IOP - for everything!
