PADI Divemaster Training Course

As a PADI Divemaster you can get a job anywhere. Tomorrow you can give up your 9 till 5 job, land on an island somewhere in the tropics, and have a job that many admires by the next day. It is possible. Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program.

This course teaches you the skills and knowledge necessary to make the transition. As a PADI Divemaster you will be able to lead certified divers, assist instructors with students, conduct scuba refresher courses, or work on dive boats anywhere in the world.

During the PADI Divemaster 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.
