Divemaster Course
During the PADI Divemaster program, you learn leadership skills through independent study, classroom instruction, and internship skills application. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others to improve their diving abilities. As you progress through your Divemaster course, you’ll expand your diving knowledge, hone your skills, and increase your confidence. Then as a PADI Divemaster, you’ll use these attributes to lead, mentor, and motivate other divers, and you will experience the joy of seeing them transformed by the majesty of the aquatic realm. PADI Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.
