PADI Divemaster

If you'd like to take the first steps (or should we say fin kicks) to making Scuba Diving a part-time or full time career then the adventure starts with the PADI Divemaster program. PADI Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.

You'll work closely with a mentor and PADI Instructor to expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. You put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.
