Obzside Adventure Centre: A PADI diving center

Position: Marketing Assistant
Number of Available Internships:1
Duration of Internship: 2-3 months

Obzside Adventure Centre is an accredited PADI Dive Center located in Observatory, Cape Town. Obzside’s progressive marketing inclinations leave it with few peers in the diving industry. In one year’s time, Obzside has evolved from a tiny diving school operating out of a garage to one of the top certifying dive schools in Cape Town. This explosive organizational transformation is not without merit; Obzside management is not afraid to think big, to challenge the industry status quo, to take risks. In 2006 Obzside introduced surf kayaking, extreme tubing and shark cage diving to its adventure repertoire and also began providing marine coordination and logistics for the Cape Town film industry’s many ocean-based film shoots. In early 2007 Obzside is preparing to launch another progressive diving service—the wreck diving safari. Interns will play a major roll in unveiling this project to the public.
