PADI Divemaster Course

Be a leader who mentors and motivates others. Gain dive knowledge, supervision skills and become a role model to other divers around the world.

The PADI Divemaster course is your first level of professional training. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you’ll fine-tune your dive skills and refine your rescue skills so you can anticipate and easily solve common problems. You’ll gain dive knowledge, management and supervision abilities so you become a role model to divers everywhere.

By the completion of the PADI Divemaster Course, you will have instructor level diving skills and understanding of diving theory.

What you will Learn

The course expands the problem solving skills developed during the Rescue Diver program, from accident management & prevention scenarios to supervisory situations with student and certified divers. Divemaster problem solving includes more than safety-related issues, and includes handling customer service, diving logistics and business & operational challenges.

Course Structure

The program is conducted over three weeks period, but it depends on the students and how much effort you will put to have the course done within this time frame.

There are several requirements for the completion of the course, including many dives and activities that you will have to organise and do without the instructor’s supervision, but instead in partnership with your classmates.

You will have hands on experience in guiding dives, supervisory skills during courses, store management and customer service.
