About this course

Divemaster


PADI Divemaster is the first professional level. You learn to supervise diving activities, lead certified divers and assist instructors with students.

The course combines eLearning with practical training: water-skills and stamina assessments, a rescue assessment, workshops including deep diving and search and recovery, and practical assignments such as dive site mapping and briefings.

As a Divemaster you can lead dives and run some PADI programmes on your own, and you meet the main certification prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course.

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment.
