You know the best thing about training to be a divemaster? You are training to "work" in one of the most enjoyable jobs in the world. That´s not the best part either, the "training" is great fun! You will complete a minimum of 60 dives at Byron Bays Julian Rocks divesite - one of the most bio diverse sites in Australia attracting a lot of large marine life. Dolphins and Whales often shadow the dive boat out to the site!
When the Xtreme Gap team paid a visit, we were in the water for 2 minutes and we had a leatherback turtle swim right up to us ( Check out the video!) and saw plenty of huge Bull rays!
