The Divemaster program is the first level of professional training through PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and is designed to turn recreational divers into professional divers. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you will fine-tune your dive skills, and refine your rescue skills to anticipate and easily solve common problems. You will gain dive knowledge, management and supervision abilities, so you become a role model to divers everywhere.
The Divemaster Program is designed for those who love diving and are interested in sharing that love with others! This program is designed for those interested in assisting with diving courses, teaching skill reviews, and drysuit orientations for certified divers, and (with additional training) teaching Discover Scuba Diving courses to those who have never been diving before. This program allows divers to fulfill the teaching assistant role in all dive courses. Call or email us to register for this course.
