U.K. Ex-Forces Military Resettlement Funding
If you are leaving the U.K. military and are looking for your next adventure, why not consider resettling in Thailand and becoming a PADI Instructor? The U.K. military will actually pay for your internship through the resettlement program.
Aquanauts Instructor Training graduates and staff include officers and enlisted men from the British Army, British Royal Marines, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and other services. If you’re ex-military or soon to be, you’ll feel right at home and have an instant sense of comradery with your instructors and fellow interns.
Whether you’ve ever dived before or not, Aquanauts Instructor Training has a resettlement program for you. We can train you from a novice status, help you cross over from BSAC, SDI, SSI, CMAS or any diving certification agency, or bring you into the world of PADI training building on your experience in military or commercial diving.
Our diver training facilities are geared to accept interns from all walks of life and nationalities. But what everyone has in common is a sense of adventure and personalities unafraid of hard work and travel. Once you graduate the program, you can continue to work in Pattaya, or perhaps take off and explore the possibilities awaiting in other parts of the world.
As a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Center, we’ve been offering resettlement diver training internships and traineeships since 1994. We’re on the cutting edge of diving techniques and technology, including technical diving under PADI or ANDI, equipment service and repair and, of course, instructor and divemaster programs.
You'll also be resettling in Pattaya, Thailand, Southeast Asia's most-exciting city. Whether you like white sand beaches, extreme sports, bargain hunting, world-class golf courses, live music, fine cuisine, boisterous discos or deep sea fishing, Pattaya has something for you.
We’re committed to making your resettlement and transition to civilian life as easy, enjoyable and productive as possible. Our programs will open up a host of scuba diving job possibilities world wide. PADI and ANDI instructor ratings are professional qualifications and recognized worldwide allowing you to use your new scuba diving skills globally.
