Becoming a PADI Divemaster is a major milestone for any aspiring dive professional. It marks the transition from recreational diving to a leadership role in the underwater world. If you’re considering where to complete your internship, there’s no better place than Boracay—and no better team than New Wave Divers to guide you on that journey. With year-round diving, diverse marine life, and expert mentorship, Boracay offers the ideal environment for growth, experience, and adventure.
Boracay is renowned for its beautiful beaches, but it’s just as impressive below the surface. With a variety of dive sites ranging from calm coral gardens to deep walls like Yapak, you’ll gain experience in different environments and conditions. This variety is invaluable during your Divemaster internship, allowing you to hone your skills in real-world scenarios across a range of depths and currents.
Unlike some locations that are limited by seasonal weather patterns, Boracay offers year-round diving. This means you won’t have to pause your training due to monsoons or cold water seasons. At New Wave Divers, we run daily dive trips and training programs throughout the year, ensuring you’ll get the consistent exposure and logged dives you need to grow as a professional.
As a Divemaster candidate, part of your training includes becoming familiar with local marine species and behaviors. Boracay’s reefs are teeming with marine life: turtles, nudibranchs, frogfish, reef sharks, mantis shrimp, lionfish, and more. Every dive becomes a chance to build your confidence and knowledge while developing your ability to spot and interpret animal behavior underwater.
New Wave Divers structures its Divemaster internship around actual dive operations—not simulations. From day one, you’ll assist with real fun dives, support instructors on training dives, lead dive briefings, and help with gear setup and customer service. This hands-on experience is what sets successful Divemasters apart, and we make sure you graduate ready to work anywhere in the world.
At New Wave Divers, our internship isn’t about pushing people through a checklist. It’s about mentorship. We limit the number of interns at any one time to ensure that each candidate receives individual attention and tailored feedback. You’ll work alongside a team of passionate instructors who are invested in your success—not just as a diver, but as a dive professional.
Beyond the diving, living in Boracay is an experience in itself. You’ll spend your off-days exploring white-sand beaches, enjoying world-class sunsets, and making friends from all over the globe. The island has a laid-back yet lively energy, with plenty of cafes, beach bars, and hidden spots to discover. It’s a safe, vibrant community that feels like home to many of our past interns long after they’ve left.
If you’re not yet a Divemaster but are working your way up the ladder, we offer a complete certification path starting from Open Water through Rescue Diver. You can complete your journey to Divemaster all with the same team and dive environment—fostering continuity, familiarity, and progression.
Our relationship doesn’t end when your course does. We continue to support our interns with job placement guidance, references, and professional networking. Many of our past interns have gone on to work in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Some even return to assist with our future courses or take the next step to Instructor.
Curious what your days might look like during your internship? Here’s a snapshot of a typical day at New Wave Divers:
Each day varies, but you’ll quickly settle into a rhythm that balances practical learning, mentorship, and fun.
Our former Divemaster interns consistently cite the quality of training, community feel, and real-world dive experience as the highlights of their time with New Wave Divers. Many have gone on to become instructors, liveaboard guides, or underwater photographers—and all credit their foundation here in Boracay as a turning point.
“The internship at New Wave Divers gave me the confidence to work in diving anywhere in the world. The instructors were patient, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. I left with new friends, new skills, and a new career.” – Alex M., UK
Boracay is not only beautiful, it’s also affordable. New Wave Divers can recommend local accommodations for every budget, from shared rooms to private apartments near the shop. Many interns choose to stay in quiet areas like Station 3, which offer a mix of peace and proximity to the dive center.
The cost of the internship is competitive and includes training, dives, and materials. Some packages also include gear rental. If you’re bringing your own gear, even better—we’ll help you set up and maintain it properly throughout your training.
There’s a reason divers from around the world choose New Wave Divers for their Divemaster internship: world-class diving, a supportive team, and an island lifestyle that’s second to none.
