Padi Divemaster Course

PADI DIVEMASTER COURSE

Course information:
The PADI Divemaster course is your first step towards becoming a PADI professional and is designed to give you both a high level of personal diving skill and instructor level knowledge. PADI Divemasters act as role models for students, leading by example, whilst assisting PADI instructors in both confined and open water. Training in how to assist instructors and assume the role of responsibility for others will be an important part of your training.
Qualified PADI Divemasters may then enroll on the PADI Assistant Instructor or Open Water Instructor courses.
