Are you looking for something exciting to do during your Gap year? Do you want to do something that will make you stand out from the crowd? Something that will make you feel like your year out was really worth something? Then you have come to the right place. Diving is not just something you will do for a few months before you go to university, it is something that will change your life forever. Even if you never work as a Divemaster or Instructor, for the rest of your life you will define yourself as a PADI Dive Professional. You will make friends because of diving, you will plan holidays for the diving, you will buy swanky dive watches because they look cool and even better, you will know how to use them.
The program for GAP year students
The TSD Internship program is ideally suited to GAP year students. Let us help you with all your preparations. We can give you advice on flights, how to get here, what to expect in the Philippines, and help you if you have never been to Asia before.
We are aware that as GAP year students, this may be the first time you have traveled abroad on your own. We are available to help with any questions or problems you may have. All you need to do is book the flights and we will do the rest. We will meet you at the airport, bring you directly to the island and make sure you are settled in your accommodation. The package includes most things that you will need, so just bring some extra money for food and miscellaneous items. English is widely spoken everywhere, so you will not have to worry about communicating with the locals. If you are worried about safety, don't be. The Philippines is a very safe country. More info on safety in the Philippines.
Zero to Hero
Our program is the ultimate Zero To Hero program. In as little as two months we will take you from a non-diver to a certified PADI divemaster. You can then continue to do your instructor course. Already a certified diver? No problem, we will just deduct that from your package.
