Divemaster We offer a range of professional
level PADI qualifications. Please bear in mind that the purpose
of these qualifications is to prepare you for a job within the
diving industry. If this is your goal, then we offer what you
need. If you would like to continue your diving education, but
have no interest in working in the industry, consider looking
at speciality diving courses (we offer most of them)
Become a Divemaster
Divemaster is the first professional membership level available
within PADI.
As a Divemaster, you are entitled to charge for your services,
offering guided diving or actually running some specific courses
for qualified divers. As such, it is professional and vocational
training. The standards we set for our Divemasters are very high.
Divemasters are trained via internship, which means that in effect
they “work” at our shop and are involved with real
students in real training and in real Divemaster situations, rather
than as part of a role-playing exercise.
Divemasters take responsibility for other's diving and as such,
must be completely at home with their own skills. This normally
takes a reasonable amount of diving experience.
The course itself involves instructor level theory, swimming stamina
testing, skill circuits, and problem solving exercises, rescue
assessments and a mapping project. In conjunction, you will be
in water, both in the pool and open water, assisting real students
during their courses.
The cost of the course includes all texts etc. but does not include
use of hire equipment. At this level, we expect that candidates
should have their own, as we would expect most candidates to have
been diving for a reasonable period of time.
In some cases, arrangements can be made, please phone to discuss
your requirements. It also does not include PADI membership fees.
