Comment from Mike (Italy)
"I first went to Croatia Divers in 2014 to do my Dive Master internship, the 3 months I spent there was a great experience and reinforced my desire to pursue diving as a career.
I enjoyed my time so much that I then decided to return to Croatia Divers in 2015 and complete my Instructor Internship with Marjolein as my course director! During this Internship the learning didn't’t end after the Instructor development course, it continued for the entire 5 month period.
With great mentors such as Marjolein, Bobby and Billy I was constantly learning and improving as a PADI Instructor, knowing they trusted me to teach students to a high standard. I have enjoyed my time working at Croatia Divers so much I am even going back for a third year running!”
