Preparing for your Bali Internship: Arrival


Candidates joining us for the one-month divemaster or four-week IDC program are welcome to get a Visa on Arrival (VoA). The VoA is valid for 30 days and is available upon arrival for most nationalities, at no cost. However, if you wish to extend this VoA for an additional month, you MUST purchase one from a sperarte kiosk upon arrival. 

Visas


For participants in programs longer than one month, a Social Visit Visa is required. We help with the logistics and sponsorship of this visa. Once we receive your deposit and confirm your place in the program, we will issue you a sponsorship letter for your Social Visit Visa. This letter is needed to process the visa at the nearest Indonesian consulate/embassy to your location. The fee varies slightly depending on country and currency, but it’s generally around IDR 650.000. Processing time also varies, but it’s usually around 2-3 business days. If you are here for longer than one month partaking in an internship with us, we will cover the cost of the visa extensions.

What To Bring


Preparing for a trip abroad can be daunting. Bali is a tropical climate, so you really don't need much besides a few pairs of shorts, flip flops and some sunscreen. To help us out, if you could bring evidence of any previous diving certifications outside the PADI system and your logbook, it would save tracking down that information. If you’ve done all your training with PADI, we can look you up online or contact the training department.

You should pack clothes and attire appropriate for this warm, tropical climate. Tshirts, tank tops, flip flops and board shorts will pretty much cover it, even though a thin rain jacket and a jumper might come in handy when the temperatures drop below 35 degrees.

Starting You Program


We have training going on all the time at all levels, so we are quite flexible with the start dates of your chosen program. If we can manage it, we like our Divemaster candiates to start on Sundays so that you can enjoy the theory and workshops with other interns, and stay on similar schedules to avoid too much repitition. However, we pride ourselves in our flexibility and are quite good at working around any obstacles that may come up. After you book your course, we will touch base regarding scheduling, arrival and airport pickup!
