As a small, professional dive center, we focus on real-world experience, not role-play. Work closely with our team of PADI professionals, assist on actual courses, and guide fun dives for real guests. Learning happens through mentorship, hands-on practice, and real dive scenarios.
During the program, you will:
- Assist with PADI Open Water, Advanced, and Rescue courses
- Guide certified divers under supervision
- Refine dive skills, buoyancy, and underwater navigation
- Practice dive briefings and emergency scenarios
- Join reef cleanups and marine conservation initiatives
- Explore shipwrecks, vibrant coral reefs, and the Nilwella Underwater Museum
- Observe blacktip reef sharks, turtles, and schools of reef fish
- Gain confidence as a professional role model
Unlimited Diving
During your training, you’ll have unlimited access to diving—exploring reefs, wrecks, and the rich marine life of southern Sri Lanka, making every dive an opportunity to learn and enjoy.
Flexible and Friendly
Life happens, so our program is adaptable. Take breaks, pace yourself, or even work remotely while completing your Divemaster internship.
After Certification
Once certified, you can continue gaining experience as part of our crew. Many of our graduates stay on, season after season, becoming part of the Hiri Divers family.
Extra Learning
Add specialty courses such as Nitrox, Search & Recovery, Deep Diving, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. (Nitrox dives carry a small additional fee for tanks.)
