Diving Sabah? Dive Downbelow!

The journey begins for Karen, Chris & Martin as they officially start their PADI Divemaster internship program with Downbelow IDC Staff Instructor Paul this week at our island PADI 5 star IDC Dive Centre in Kota Kinabalu.

After a few weeks of preparation that involved diving and completing the Emergency First Responder (EFR) course, now they will have to double their effort (and fun) for the next few weeks.

It all starts with knowledge review on a sunny day in tropical Sabah. Have fun and all the best!

Looks like our PADI Divemaster pro interns are having a blast! They have now completed the Emergency First Response (EFR) course with Downbelow instructor Tim at our PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre in Borneo.

These awesome and hardworking interns joined us in May and in a week or two, will call themselves PADI Divemasters!

With the EFR qualification out of the way, they are now one-step closer to actually reaching their objective the PADI Divemaster course.

All the best and we are looking forward to seeing all of you as Divemasters soon!

Great progress is being made by our latest PADI Divemaster pro interns Martin, Chris, Karen & Christina who are working their way through the various PADI courses as part of their professional diving internship with Downbelow.

The foursome joined Downbelow just a week ago and will stay for a month to complete their PADI Divemaster course, after this Martin will remain with us to gain experience and complete his IDC this coming September. They also volunteered to help out with our conservation program when we removed another illegal net found within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park last week.

Currently they are completing the Rescue Diver Course with Downbelow instructor Tim enroute to their PADI Divemaster program.

Awesome work guys well done!

Another PADI Pro hatchling has emerged from its shell!

Resident PADI Platinum Course Director Richard Swann and the whole Downbelow family is happy to congratulate Dylan Lim for successfully meeting all the performance requirements and becoming a PADI Divemaster.

He came to us as an intern and now he’s a qualified Divemaster – nothing makes us happier then to see a recreational diver take the plunge into the world of professional scuba diving and succeed.

Great job Dylan! You are most welcome back to our dive centre if you ever need to learn more.
