It is thanks to our interns that we are able to offer the kind of service that we do. Having people from all parts of the world become part of our lives is an incredibly enriching experience for all of us who work at the dive center. Each intern comes with new ideas, a new set of skills, a new approach and for the most part, we learn as much as they do.
Reviews
Super super recommended"I would absolutely recommend PDC!! The team is incredibly professional, kind, and qualified. The programme is a great way to gain diving experience, offers the chance to understand the ins and outs of the dive industry, and gives you the opportunity to dive Coiba; an absolutely insane spot in terms of marine biodiversity. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a volunteer at this programme and also loved that they are very receptive to your input and personal endeavours. Also, Santa Catalina has a local cafe with a killer pina colada."- Melissa Versteeg
