We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
You'll step toward professional diving on the PADI Divemaster course in Cabo de Palos, assisting instructors on real courses, polishing leadership skills, and logging extensive local water time from our busy Mediterranean harbour centre.
Leadership workshops cover mapping, briefing skills, supervising students, risk awareness, and standards knowledge while you assist on Open Water classes, continuing education courses, and guided fun dive days from our centre.
Internship hours accumulate through varied roles, from setting lines and handling cylinders to demonstrating skills and guiding certified divers under instructor oversight. Expect early harbour starts, kit logistics, and debriefs that treat you as part of the working dive team rather than a classroom-only candidate.
Marina-side operations at Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 anchor your schedule, with daily site work on Cabo de Palos reefs, reserve approaches, and boat routes students and fun divers use all season.
Professional familiarity with local conditions becomes part of your toolkit as you repeat sites across training cycles, learning how wind and visibility change site choice for students versus certified guests.
Logged dives and Rescue Diver certification must meet PADI Divemaster minimums before you start, including documented deep and navigation experience. Bring your logbook and cards for audit at enrolment.
Strong watermanship and a helpful attitude matter as much as paperwork when working with students daily. Current EFR credentials and dive insurance are strongly recommended before you take on professional responsibilities in the water.
Mentor-led internships pair you with working instructors in a busy Mediterranean centre rather than minimal tick-box programmes with little real student contact.
Pathway continuity toward IDC is natural here when you aim to teach after qualifying as Divemaster, using the same sites and briefing rhythms future instructor candidates will practise on.
Independent study and instructor-led workshops cover dive theory, standards and risk management expected of professionals. You learn how courses are structured and documented.
Exams and reviews confirm understanding before more responsibility is assigned.
Water skills sessions refine demonstration-quality technique, rescue refreshers and stamina exercises such as mapping projects. Repeated practice builds the polish students expect from professionals.
Feedback is direct and aimed at industry standards.
You assist on real courses and guided dives, handling logistics, student support and briefings under mentor supervision. Hours accrue toward PADI internship requirements.
Responsibility increases as you prove reliability and skill.
The programme is internship-style across multiple weeks, not a short holiday course.
Hours accumulate through workshops plus real student and fun-dive days from the harbour. Plan a stable calendar, because early starts and kit logistics are part of professional training here. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Rescue Diver plus the logged dive count PADI requires, including documented deep and navigation, must be in place before you start.
Bring your logbook and cards for audit at enrolment. Current EFR and dive insurance are strongly recommended before you take on professional water duties. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Yes. You assist instructors on Open Water classes, continuing education, and guided fun-dive days, not classroom-only role play.
Roles include setting lines, handling cylinders, demonstrating skills, and guiding certified divers under instructor oversight. That contact is the point of an internship on a busy Mediterranean harbour. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Harbour-side operations at Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 set your schedule, with daily site work on local reefs and boat routes.
Repeating sites across training cycles teaches how wind and visibility change choices for students versus certified guests. You learn the same briefing rhythm future instructor candidates will use. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Divemaster is professional training. Any later work after certification is a separate conversation, not part of the course fee.
You should plan accommodation and living costs for the internship weeks. We treat you as part of the working team in the water, while the rating itself remains a training programme. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Mapping, briefings, student supervision, risk awareness, standards knowledge, and watermanship all sit in the assessment mix.
Expect debriefs that treat you as staff rather than a classroom-only candidate. Strong attitude and helpful habits matter as much as paperwork when you work with students daily. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Yes. Pathway continuity toward the Instructor Development Course is natural when you aim to teach after qualifying.
You will already know the sites, kit flow, and briefing style Course Directors use on this harbour. Talk to us about logged dives and timing before you lock IDC dates. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Bring your Rescue card, logbook, reliable personal kit, and clothes for early harbour starts.
A slate, computer, and exposure protection you can work in all day make internship hours smoother. We audit credentials at enrolment before you take on in-water duties. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Workshops cover mapping, briefings, risk, and standards, then you apply them on real courses and fun-dive days.
Classroom-only weeks are not how this internship runs. Most of your hours stay in harbour logistics and the water, which is what Divemaster needs if you later move toward teaching. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow.
Daily check-in is at Paseo Dimas Ortega 18 unless a boat or shore site is briefed the evening before.
Expect early starts for cylinders, lines, and student prep. The same base is where debriefs and kit flow happen after water work. Internship hours stay tied to real students and harbour kit flow. Cabo de Palos harbour briefings keep the plan clear before you start.
About the centre
Cabo de Palos
You'll dive on one of the most celebrated stretches of the Spanish Mediterranean, where the Cabo de Palos headland meets clear open water and protected seagrass meadows. Our team runs relaxed guided days, PADI training, and refresher sessions from a harbour-side base, with small groups and patient coaching whether you're blowing bubbles for the first time or logging another fun dive.
From shore entries and daily boat dives to specialty courses and seasonal dive trips, we keep the day well organised so you spend more time underwater. Equipment hire, briefings, and local site knowledge are part of how we work, and we're happy to help you plan the right experience for your certification level and the conditions on the day.
