Program Content

Take the PADI Divemaster course and do what you love to do as a career. Scuba divers look up to divemasters because they are leaders who mentor and motivate others. As a divemaster, you not only get to dive a lot but also experience the joy of seeing others have as much fun diving as you do. Your instructor will work closely with you to expand your diving skills and knowledge to a professional level, following and assisting him as he leads other courses. Then, in the most fulfilling part of the course, you will learn and practice supervising recreational diving activities through knowledge development sessions, water skills exercises, workshops, and hands-on practical assessments.
