If spending several weeks on a gorgeous tropical island, diving some of the most interesting dive sites in South East Asia sounds like some much needed travel therapy, then doing you Divemaster could be for you. Malapascua is a small island, located not far from Cebu.
What is a Divemaster?
The PADI Divemaster is the first professional level qualification in Diving. Once qualified you can work in any PADI accreditied dive resort in the world as a Divemaster or Dive Leader. PADI is by far the most popular dive training organisation and job opportunities are abundant all over the place.
Fun and Sun
A Training to become a Divemaster with Xtreme Gap also means living on exotic places with lots of amazing dive sites and a great social life, as we feel that those are the most important ingredients to a good Divemaster training programme. For further information on the itinerary of the Divemaster programme, see the Itinerary section.
Become part of the team
There are on average 5 Divemaster trainees at any one time gaining their Divemaster qualifications at the school. On joiing you will quickly become part of the team, and once your preliminary dive training is underway (Open Water and Advanced and Rescue qualifications) you will be tasked with helping customers, leading dives and building up your dive experience.
Beautiful Location
There are few islands that can match Malapascua for a pure dreamy setting. Soft white sand encircles the island, and clear blue seas always warm invite you to explore the wrecks and dive sites located minutes from the shore.
You could walk around the island, although one part is mangrove. All beaches are white sandy beaches and have palm trees. In the middle of the island you find the village where are locals life, they are truly a lovely bunch of people and the great thing is that English is ought at very school in the Philippines, so communicating will not be a problem either!
