PADI Divemaster Course

Looking for the first step in working within the scuba diving industry then your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the Dive master program. Working closely with an Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level.  Dive master training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.  Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for both the  Assistant Instructor and  Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications..

What You Learn

During the PADI Dive master program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others. You put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.
