Don’ts

RnG Diving is a Five Star IDC Center Dive Five star dive Center, we would like to point out we run our internship a lot differently to many other Centers.

We are a center that wants our students to learn each and every day. However, also understand that we would never give tasks we would not do ourselves.

Here are a few examples of what we do not do;

We do not turn our interns into tank monkeys. This is an internship not a cheap labour camp. (Tank Monkey = Someone who just moves all the cylinders to and from the compressor and taking them on and off the boat/van)

We do not just do dives for the sack of diving. The time spent under the surface has a purpose and you will achieve goals after each dive!

We do not dive in the same location, repeatedly, day after day. To become a well-trained diving professional, you must explore different diving spots with different layouts and challenges.

Every dive you do will be with a trained professional. We do not allow other students to train each other.

We cannot stress enough how we want each student that comes through RnG diving,s Dive Center that you feel like you are part of the team. We can all learn from each other, no matter how much experience someone has. You are not a number, but valued team member that can bring a different look on situations.

There are no hidden costs in our internship. Please read our text to make sure you know what you will be paying for, EVERYTHING is there.
