Shaping Dive Professionals
Although the PADI Divemaster course is the most widely accepted pro-level training program in the world, without real world application and the right people to advise you, your training can be rather conventional in a consistently unconventional industry. Theory and skill training are just a small part of the transformation from recreational diver to professional diver. Throughout your internship you will gain experience in all aspects of operating a dive business including guiding, tour operations, reservations, equipment maintenance, dive logistics, filling tanks, designing eco-tours, and of course, diving. As a part of our team, you will learn to work in remote areas, build your resume, market yourself in the industry, and develop additional skills such as photography and/or videography. You will be taught to the same standards that we hold our own Team Ninja staff to in our everyday operations, locally and on remote expeditions, so that you will be top of the game no matter where your career may take you.
Become an Ocean Ambassador
As a world leader in sustainable tourism & the ecotourism industry, this is our specialty at Dive Ninja Expeditions. Utilizing our years of experience cultivating conservation focused expeditions, designing citizen-science experiences, working with local researchers, and helping transition communities to ecotourism, we have built a conservation focused program unlike any other divemaster course out there.
During your course you will intern with our team of like-minded passionate ocean defenders to learn what it takes to create truly sustainable ecotourism projects from sourcing locally, to reducing waste, partnering with local operators, educating local communities, implementing sustainable regulations, supporting researchers, involving guests in conservation efforts, designing eco-tours, and so much more. Our conservation workshops will help you develop the tools you need to initiate positive change wherever you decide to go. Learning to work in diving while minimizing our impact on the ocean will help to change the future of this industry and the health of our oceans as a whole. The more ambassadors who are impassioned by the captivating seas and equipped with the right tools, the better chance we have of saving this incredible underwater world that gives so many of us purpose and incredible memories.
Achieve Ninja-Level Skills
Whatever your diving proficiency when you arrive, our team will work with you to perfect it to ninja level standards. We don’t mean just the basic skills outlined in the PADI Divemaster curriculum either. In our opinion, diving should become second nature, so natural in fact, that you can anticipate, respond to, and fix problems before they even happen, like a true ninja. Our Divemaster program has 14 additional workshops built into it such as a buoyancy workshop designed for technical divers, but geared towards professional candidates to fine tune their buoyancy, a fail-proof marine creature identification workshop to help dive pros quickly learn the fish of the area you are working in and so much more. Our heated pool is perfect for polishing skills until they are ninja-level performance quality, and our dive sites are varied to give you experience leading different types of dives in various conditions. After every dive/tour, you will follow-up with your mentor to discuss what to improve upon for the next dive, and how to anticipate scenarios. You won’t be a student, nor a shop slave, but a team member in training with a family of wise ninjas to guide you.

The best Instructors with the most complete programs for the courses! I have learned so much and enjoyed every single moment. The Divemaster program was super unique because besides learning the normal PADI Divemaster, they added workshops about UW photo, working in remote areas, sustainability and so much more. The Ninja team is just amazing, all of them are super professional, responsible and very fun!
Thank you for all I’ve learnt during my stay in Cabo! I’m so glad I found Dive Ninjas! The course as not just some more workshops than a usual Divemaster, it was so much more and I’ve learned so much with all of the team. And not just diving either, I’ve learned so many things that I know will be super useful later! Thank you for doing all that you do, the high level teaching and raising awareness. Keep rocking the diving industry Ninjas!
My favorite part was all the conservation workshops Dive Ninjas adds into their Divemaster program! I felt like I learned so much more than I would of if I went elsewhere.
