Best experience of my life!

Choosing to do my Divemaster training at IOP in Bira was one of the best decisions I ever made. The quality of education from both the dive training side and ecology/conservation side is unmatched. The staff are all incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, passionate about the work IOP is doing, and encouraging of each individual intern's goals. I have never learned so much in such a short amount of time as I did during my 10 weeks at IOP. All of the ecology and conservation workshops were informative, engaging, and sparked conversations that always left us interns feeling inspired. I am incredibly grateful to the IOP Bira staff (Vale, Sudar, and Kert) for making me feel consistently challenged yet supported throughout the program. The education (both in and out of the water) at IOP greatly prepared to work in both the diving and conservation industries. I continued on to becoming a PADI instructor after completing my internship and felt extremely ready and prepared to pass the Instructor exam right from the start. Thank you IOP, Vale, Sudar, and Kert for this!
