Thinking of a Career Switch?
Always dreamed of ditching the 9–5 and working by (and in!) the ocean? If you’re a mid-career professional ready to hit reset and dive into something totally different, this could be your shot.
Cuddlefish Divers is Singapore’s top-rated SSI Dive Centre — a fun, community-driven place where divers come together to train, travel, and explore the ocean. We’re opening up a limited number of Divemaster Trainee (DMT) internship spots for people who are serious about becoming professional divers and potentially joining our team full-time.
Who This Is For
We’re looking for someone who’s:
At least 18 years old
Can be a non-diver (we will sponsor all your dive courses)
Physically fit and comfortable in the water
Great with people, calm under pressure, and eager to learn
Okay with working weekends and public holidays (diving happens when the sun’s out!)
What You’ll Get as a DMT
SSI Divemaster certification (once all training and requirements are met)
Monthly training allowance of SGD 500 during your training up to Divemaster level
Real-world experience in every aspect of dive operations
Mentorship from experienced professionals
A supportive, ocean-loving team
Priority consideration for full-time employment
What You'll Be Doing
As a DMT, you'll go through real-world training that covers every part of being a dive professional. You won’t just be learning from textbooks — you’ll be on the ground (and in the water), gaining hands-on experience and building up your confidence.
Here’s what your days might look like:
Dive Ops
Assist instructors with pool and open water training sessions
Guide certified divers on local dives
Learn to set up, maintain, and pack down dive gear
Help with dive briefings and safety procedures
Join us on boat trips and support diving logistics onboard the Cuddleboat
Dive Centre Life
Greet customers and help them with dive gear and bookings
Get familiar with our retail space (yes, you’ll learn how to sell fins, masks and many more dive equipment - and get some sales incentives from this)
Keep the dive shop tidy, stocked, and running smoothly
Learn basic gear servicing
Administrative duties
Boat Duties
Act as a deckhand on the Cuddleboat — help with ropes, dive deck setup, and general boat operations
Assist with cleanup and post-trip maintenance
Extras (but Fun)
Possible leading overseas dive trips in future (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines etc)
Help with community events, cleanup dives
Contribute to our social media content and help snap a few good photos underwater
What’s Next After the Internship?
If all goes well and you're a good fit for the team, we’ll offer you a full-time Divemaster position:
* Full-Time Divemaster – From SGD 1,800/month * Career progression: With experience and continued training, you may be eligible for the Instructor Training Course. * Instructor Role – From SGD 2,200/month, with additional sales incentives and commissions on courses and gear.
You’ll continue growing with us, taking on more responsibilities, running trips, teaching, and helping new divers fall in love with the underwater world — just like you did.
