Are you ready to join the ranks of the Professionals?

The Scuba Schools/PADI Divemaster course is the entry level program into divings professional ranks. The Divemaster Course is the most sought after program of training in dive leadership in the world today.

The course is designed to train qualified individuals as dive supervisors. In this role the Divemaster may oversee general diving activities and serve as an underwater guide. The Divemaster may also serve as an instructional assistant and may conduct environmental orientation and refresher dives.

As the sport diving gains popularity, the demand for the PADI Divemaster is rapidly expanding and with this increase, the value of Divemaster training is readily apparent. The importance of the Divemaster program to the sport of diving cannot be overstated. The rating denotes an individual who has a high level of personal diving skill, has instructor level knowledge of diving theory, has had significant training in how to assist other divers, and is able to assume a role of responsibility for the welfare of other divers in his or her charge.

The course consists of three phases:

  1. Personal watermanship and scuba skills development.
  2. Knowledge development: expand your knowledge of diving theory and practice.
  3. Practical application: assists Instructors and Divemasters in teaching dive classes and in supervising groups of divers.

The Divemaster Course is a prerequisite to the PADI Instructor rating and hence the course aims to shape the diver's ability and attitude as professional diving educators.

The goals of Divemaster training are to:

  1. Enable the Divemaster to organize, conduct and supervise recreational diving activities.
  2. Enable the Divemaster to effectively act as an instructional assistant.
  3. Develop the theoretical diving knowledge of the Divemaster to instructor level.
