About the Course
Do you like diving? Do you want to share diving with others on a whole new level? Sign up for the PADI Divemaster course and turn what you love into a profession. Divers look up to divemasters because they are the leaders who advise and motivate others. As a divemaster, you not only dive a lot but, while diving, you also experience the joy of seeing others having as much fun as you do.
The PADI Divemaster course is your first level of professional training. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you'll hone your diving skills – such as effortless hovering – and rescue skills, so you can easily anticipate and solve common problems.
You will acquire theoretical knowledge of diving and management and supervision skills, so as to become a role model for any diver.
As a PADI Divemaster, as you will supervise dive activities and act as an assistant on courses, you will assume the role of a guide. Whether you want to work at a far-flung dive destination or a local dive center close to home, you are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
PADI Divemasters are respected professionals who are members of the largest and most respected diving organization in the world – PADI.
PADI Rescue Divers who are 18 or older can enroll in the PADI Divemaster course.
You will also need to:
- Have completed an Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) course within the previous 24 months.
- Be in possession of a medical certificate with authorization signed by a doctor in the previous 12 months.
- Have logged at least 40 dives to start the course, and at least 60 to get certified.
