Free PADI Divemaster Internship for 15 Indonesian Citizens at Oceans 5 Gili Air: Giving Back to the Country That Gave So Much
In celebration of its 15-year anniversary, Oceans 5 Gili Air has launched a heartfelt initiative to give back to the community that has supported it from the very beginning. This year, Oceans 5 is offering 15 free PADI Divemaster Internships exclusively for Indonesian citizens, creating a life-changing opportunity for young Indonesians who dream of becoming professional divers.
Now, the first group of five interns—Ziki, Yani, Tegar, Adrian, and Zain—is about to complete their journey. In just three months, these five passionate individuals transformed from rescue divers into confident, competent PADI Divemasters, fully equipped to begin a new professional chapter anywhere in the world.
A Life-Changing Opportunity for Indonesian Divers
The Oceans 5 Divemaster Internship Program is designed to open doors for Indonesians who want to enter the dive industry but may not have the financial means to do so. It’s a rare chance to gain international certification, real-life experience, and professional mentorship—free of charge.
But make no mistake, this isn’t just a free ride. It’s a structured and demanding internship designed to turn candidates into confident dive leaders who can meet global standards.
Requirements:
Must be an Indonesian Citizen
Minimum age: 18 years old
Must hold a PADI Rescue Diver certification
What’s not included:
PADI Divemaster eLearning materials
PADI Divemaster registration fee
Accommodation
Everything else—training, equipment use, guidance, mentorship, and real-world experience—is covered by Oceans 5 Gili Air.
No Strings Attached – Your Future, Your Choice
One of the most important aspects of this internship is that it does not come with strings attached. Unlike some dive centers that require graduates to stay on and work in exchange for training, Oceans 5 believes in freedom and empowerment.
After completing the internship, the new divemasters are free to work anywhere in the world.
Some may choose to stay on Gili Air and work as local dive guides or instructors in the future, but many will find opportunities in Bali, Komodo, Raja Ampat, or even abroad. Oceans 5 simply wants to give its interns the foundation to succeed—and then let them choose their own paths.
Why Oceans 5 Gili Air?
Oceans 5 Gili Air is not just any dive center. It’s the only PADI Career Development Centre on Gili Air and one of the few in Indonesia. Over the last 15 years, it has earned a strong reputation for quality training, environmental commitment, and inclusivity.
The internship program is embedded in a supportive, multicultural environment. Interns are not used as cheap labor. Instead, they are treated as future professionals. Their time is spent gaining valuable experience—assisting on real courses, learning dive theory, mastering dive planning and logistics, and developing leadership skills.
Oceans 5’s local dive team, including instructors and divemasters like Atek, Dedi, Tim Tam, Sury, Iwan, and Ziki, serve as mentors and role models. Many of these professionals began their own careers in similar programs and now proudly give back by training the next generation.
From Student to Professional in 3 Months
The transformation from a rescue diver to a certified PADI Divemaster at Oceans 5 Gili Air typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the intern’s schedule and learning pace.
During this time, interns will:
Assist on Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water, Advanced, and even Rescue courses
Join beach and reef cleanups to learn about environmental responsibility
Develop mapping and briefing skills
Learn dive site management and logistics
Practice underwater navigation
Master the 24 PADI Divemaster skills to demonstration level
Learn how to guide certified divers safely and responsibly
It’s not just about earning a certification—it’s about becoming a true diving professional.

Fifteen years ago, Oceans 5 opened its doors with the vision of high-quality dive education and environmental protection. Since then, the dive center has trained thousands of divers, partnered with local and international conservation groups, and supported the local community in countless ways.
This free internship program is Oceans 5’s way of saying thank you to Indonesia.
“Indonesia has given us so much—natural beauty, community, and culture. Now it’s our turn to give something back. These internships are just the beginning.”
From supporting local clean-up initiatives to partnering with the University of Mataram’s Marine Science Faculty, Oceans 5 is deeply embedded in the community. It’s not just about diving—it’s about creating a sustainable future for the island and the people who call it home.
