Ocean Divers has been in the business of training Instructors for over 23 years. During that time we have witnessed truly gifted professionals, many with a certain “panache”. This shows not only in their teaching, but also in their interaction with the environment and in how they give back to their community.
Ocean Divers has decided to emulate these very special people by also giving back to the environment and to our community. To do this Ocean Divers is offering a Scholarship Program to IDC Candidates.
The Scholarship program will benefit those Instructor Candidates by providing four courses to the scholarship winners: PADI Emergency First Response Instructor (EFR) IDC Prep. PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) The only expense to these Scholarship winners will be the cost of books and PADI fees.
But don’t think this will be all work and no play. At the conclusion of the Master Scuba Diver Trainer program the scholarship winner will be on Ocean Divers’ boats doing environmental conservation and reef identification briefings. Winners will also be in the water, leading reef and fish identification tours for the guests on our boats. At the end of each day they will be responsible for daily updates on the Ocean Divers Facebook page; this includes uploading photographs taken on the reefs. They will also be keeping in touch with Ocean Divers fans by doing Twitter updates on a daily basis.
Ocean Divers will be offering this scholarship Program to four well deserved divers per year. During their three month internship, we will provide them with living quarters free of charge.
Ocean Divers will choose a new Scholarship winner every three months. There will be an evaluation of all the applications received for that period. All winners will be chosen based upon your applications. Please read over the rules and requirements for the IDC Scholarship Program
