#divemaster internship Gili Islands

[3wdive]

All jokes aside, a divemaster internship is serious business. At 3W Dive, we sincerely value not only getting real dive shop and guiding experience, but the entire experience of living in the Gili Islands of Indonesia. So let’s dive into what a day in the life looks like!

Study Turtle Behavior in the Gili Islands PADI Specialty Course

It’s great to see new Instructors working within the Industry, but its even better when you see them following their own passions and teaching the things they love. Former PADI Instructor Candidate Tash has created a brand-new distinctive specialty aimed at teaching divers how to scientifically encounter, observe and interact with sea turtles in a safe and responsible way, whilst also assisting in the conservation and protection of the species.

Gili Trawangan is a great place to be, especially if you’re a Turtle or a diver who loves turtles as most dive sites are thriving with the species offering a guaranteed sighting with some divers seeing over 20 turtles in only one dive. Both the local population and transient tourist volunteers have made great efforts in protecting and conserving the turtle population on their doorstep.

 Simply walking around the island of Gili Trawangan you will see that a direct relationship has formed between the local community, tourists and the marine life that surrounds the Gili Islands and right at the top of the list are the turtles and providing a need to educate, protect and conserve the species. You will find Snorkeling and Diving companies offering turtle specific tours and therefore a certain degree of education and information. You will find regulation regarding boat traffic and more importantly for the turtles fishing restrictions. If you go to the beach you will find hatchling guards randomly place on the beach to form a barrier between the beach going tourists lying on the beach and turtle eggs buried below making the area clear of interruptions. If you are visiting the beach in the evenings you may be lucky enough to see new hatchlings making their way to the beach; often accompanied by a group of volunteers assisting in providing a safe path.

Turtle Swimming freely

Around the Gili Islands you will find both the Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles in abundance and these will form the subject matter for the course, and as these species are so different from each other they provide a great basis for the study. To enroll on the course divers will need to be over the age of 10 and be certified as an Open Water Diver. The course consists of 2 mandatory Open Water Dives and a classroom-based knowledge development session. If, however you feel that buoyancy and general diving skills could be improved or need to be refreshed there is the option of a confined swimming pool session. During the course, students will learn how to locate, observe, interact and provide a quality scientific analysis of the species and learn more about the behaviors and the collection of data including photographic techniques aimed at identifying individual behavior patterns. This program is designed for anyone as long as you are a certified diver and is a great idea for any level; Whether a brand-new certified diver, an experienced diver or even professional level diver.

During the PADI Divemaster Gili Islands Internship Program, trainees will spend a lot of time underwater on the various dive sites around the Gili Islands and will therefore spend a lot of time observing marine sea turtles, so the course provides a great basis to learn more about the surrounding marine life and of course passing that information onto both new and experienced divers which they will be working with. Also, for those thinking of taking the PADI IDC Gili Islands based Scuba Diving Instructor Course (IDC), it will give a direct base knowledge of one of the most populous species seen within the immediate diving environment.

Brand New PADI Turtle Specialty Course in the Gili Islands by PADI IDC Indonesia Graduate

Its great to see new Instructors out in the field teaching courses but its even better when you see past students following their dreams. PADI Instructor and PADI IDC Graduate Tash Gillespie Wong has fulfilled her passion for teaching recreational diving and combined it with her passion for turtles by writing her very own turtle distinctive specialty.

The course is designed to complement the many efforts seen around Gili Trawangan in terms of conservation and protection of marine sea turtles. Gili Trawangan is possible one of the worlds best places to see marine turtles with some divers being lucky enough to see 20 plus of these magnificent creatures in only one dive and the island itself has long been in the business of education, conservation and protection of the thriving population in the seas around the Gili Islands. Just walking around Gili Trawangan you will find a range of different initiatives aimed towards protecting the turtle population. Of course, it has become a selling point for snorkeling trips and dive excursions, but in conjunction with this there is also the provision of education. Walking along the beach you will find large metal domes that appear to just be left on the beach, but on closer inspection you will find that it is actually a turtle hatchling guard to creating protection for buried turtle eggs by acting as a barrier between them and the many beach going tourists the Gili Trawangan attracts. Passers by might also be lucky enough to see these hatchlings being released, whereby volunteers will remove the guard and help to make a safe passage towards the sea whilst stopping any passers by from obstructing the journey.

This course therefore has been designed to address the educational and protection methodology by showing divers how to scientifically encounter, observe and interact in a safe and responsible way. An introduction to the strengths and benefits offered to species by being in the waters around the Gili Islands such as fishing regulations and growing marine environmental volunteering schemes and also the threats encountered such as increased islands population and growing tourism numbers ultimately meaning more boat traffic and more people on the beaches. The course consists of some theoretical knowledge and 2 mandatory open water dives. Students will get an introduction to ways of photographing turtles for the purpose of identification and will also have the option of a swimming pool buoyancy workshop before proceeding to open water. The Turtle Specialty Course requires divers to be at least an Open Water Certified Diver and be over the age of 10.

This is the perfect place for courses such as this as the Gili Islands have a thriving community of both Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles and a virtual guarantee of seeing the beautiful creatures underwater. The program is open to newly certified divers and experienced or professional divers alike and in fact is a great compliment to the Gili Islands PADI Divemaster Course, as during a PADI Divemaster Internship trainees are likely to spend a lot of time with both the species found around Gili Trawangan. Its also a great Idea for those taking the PADI IDC Course Scuba Instructor Training in the Gili Islands as it’s the perfect chance to teach others about the local marine environment. More Information can be found by contacting the PADI IDC Gili Islands Course Director Holly Macleod.

Study Turtle Behavior in the Gili Islands – PADI Specialty Course

It’s great to see new Instructors working within the Industry, but its even better when you see them following their own passions and teaching the things they love. Former PADI Instructor Candidate Tash has created a brand-new distinctive specialty aimed at teaching divers how to scientifically encounter, observe and interact with sea turtles in a safe and responsible way, whilst also assisting in the conservation and protection of the species.

Gili Trawangan is a great place to be, especially if you’re a Turtle or a diver who loves turtles as most dive sites are thriving with the species offering a guaranteed sighting with some divers seeing over 20 turtles in only one dive. Both the local population and transient tourist volunteers have made great efforts in protecting and conserving the turtle population on their doorstep.

 Simply walking around the island of Gili Trawangan you will see that a direct relationship has formed between the local community, tourists and the marine life that surrounds the Gili Islands and right at the top of the list are the turtles and providing a need to educate, protect and conserve the species. You will find Snorkeling and Diving companies offering turtle specific tours and therefore a certain degree of education and information. You will find regulation regarding boat traffic and more importantly for the turtles fishing restrictions. If you go to the beach you will find hatchling guards randomly place on the beach to form a barrier between the beach going tourists lying on the beach and turtle eggs buried below making the area clear of interruptions. If you are visiting the beach in the evenings you may be lucky enough to see new hatchlings making their way to the beach; often accompanied by a group of volunteers assisting in providing a safe path.

Around the Gili Islands you will find both the Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles in abundance and these will form the subject matter for the course, and as these species are so different from each other they provide a great basis for the study. To enroll on the course divers will need to be over the age of 10 and be certified as an Open Water Diver. The course consists of 2 mandatory Open Water Dives and a classroom-based knowledge development session. If, however you feel that buoyancy and general diving skills could be improved or need to be refreshed there is the option of a confined swimming pool session. During the course, students will learn how to locate, observe, interact and provide a quality scientific analysis of the species and learn more about the behaviors and the collection of data including photographic techniques aimed at identifying individual behavior patterns. This program is designed for anyone as long as you are a certified diver and is a great idea for any level; Whether a brand-new certified diver, an experienced diver or even professional level diver.

During the PADI Divemaster Gili Islands Internship Program, trainees will spend a lot of time underwater on the various dive sites around the Gili Islands and will therefore spend a lot of time observing marine sea turtles, so the course provides a great basis to learn more about the surrounding marine life and of course passing that information onto both new and experienced divers which they will be working with. Also, for those thinking of taking the PADI IDC Gili Islands based Scuba Diving Instructor Course (IDC), it will give a direct base knowledge of one of the most populous species seen within the immediate diving environment.
