If you ever wondered what’s the exciting buzz around the RAID Diver Agency, we can tell you right here!

The prestigious Royal Thai Marine Police have chosen RAID as their trusted agency for their Underwater Operations Course.

This intense and rigorous course is designed to equip the force with the specialized skills and expertise needed for all underwater operations, ensuring they are totally prepared for the challenges of their critical missions.

With RAID‘s comprehensive training, the Royal Thai Marine Police will be well-prepared to handle the demands of their underwater tasks.

Why RAID? Truly Different?

The RAID philosophy is we are divers, not Recreational or Technical, just divers.

We all start with our first breath underwater with limited knowledge and experience. How much theoretical knowledge individuals may want is a personal choice.

However, when it comes to practical experience, there should be no difference to the required skill foundation and learning the fundamentals of diving is crucial.

With the roots of RAID International being founded in a technical background, the ethos is to provide all divers with solid fundamental skills of diving buoyancy, hover & trim which provide a robust platform for any future training in whatever direction they decides interests them.

How do RAID do that?

RAID conduct all dive skill training how you would use it practically. Perfect buoyancy with good hover and trim position.

Other agencies teach you to sit on the bottom and do skills! Do you go to the bottom every time you want to clear your mask?

Dive training in a class of its own.

RAID FREe-Learning.

No smoke and mirrors with RAID, there is nothing to hide.

Everyone can access any and all of RAID course theory and skills manuals online and downloadable without any charge or commitment.

Truly FREe-Learning

You bet that wasn’t popular with the book selling agencies!

If that wasn’t enough, additionally, all the skills videos, are available on YouTube with FREE access.

The core of RAID‘s ethos is to provide all divers with solid fundamental skills of diving buoyancy with perfect hover & trim providing a robust platform for any future training.

To enable that, RAID Professionals must have skills honed to the highest level, always performed with consummate ease and completely naturally.

Dive & Travel the RAID way

When you see the RAID emblem at a dive centre around the world you can be assured that the  highest standards of diver training are being provided, knowing all RAID professionals have met the testing criteria to achieve their professional rank.

PADI^® (Professional Association of Diving Instructors®) Dive Centres and Resorts across Europe, the Middle East and Africa are inviting scuba divers to take part in the newly launched PADI Divemaster Internship programme. With over 50 newly added internship opportunities for aspiring professional divers, a career of a lifetime can be launched in dream destinations spanning from Spain and Greece to the Maldives and Mauritius.

“The PADI Divemaster Internship is designed to offer a meaningful way to kick-start a purpose-driven career in scuba diving,” explains Kristin Valette Wirth, Chief Brand and Membership Officer for PADI Worldwide. “These internships offer hands-on training and mentorship at world-class PADI Dive Centres and Resorts – learning how to supervise and teach scuba divers while also learning about running a successful dive business. This initiative is part of PADI’s ongoing commitment to fostering new talent and promoting growth within the diving industry.”

The PADI Divemaster Internship will provide participants with their PADI Divemaster certification as well as hands-on experience, skills and confidence needed to excel in a diving career.

The PADI Divemaster membership rating is recognised globally for employment opportunities and represents a significant milestone in an individual’s scuba diving development – and is the pivotal first step in becoming a PADI Professional. The professional rating enables recipients to lead and mentor other divers, assist PADI Instructors in training, and conduct certain diving activities independently. Many PADI Divemasters continue careers in marine conservation, film and television, the Armed Forces and underwater archaeology, while also having the option to work all around the world as a PADI Professional.

To qualify for the PADI Divemaster Internship, participants will need to have logged 40+ dives and show completion of the PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, PADI Rescue Diver course, Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care courses (or qualifying certifications from other organisations) and be medically cleared for diving by a physician within the past 12 months.

“We are inviting the next generation of scuba divers to join the world’s largest purpose-driven diving organisation and start their careers as PADI Professionals who are playing a key role in inspiring others to seek adventure and save the ocean,” continues Valette Wirth.

To find and apply for a PADI Divemaster Internship head over to the PADI Jobs board or reach out to your local dive centre.
