Begin your dive career - take the first step and become a PADI Divemaster. You may be eligible (after 20 logged dives) to start your PADI Divemaster training after you complete the PADI Rescue Diver course. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you'll expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. Your confidence will grow with every breath.

As a PADI Divemaster, you are qualified to supervise and assist with both training and nontraining activities, such as the PADI Discover Local Diving experience, the Scuba Review program, the PADI Discover Snorkeling experience and the PADI Skin Diver course. Also, after a short internship, you can conduct the confined water option of the Discover Scuba Diving program.

During the PADI Divemaster program, you will learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independant study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organise and solve problems. You put this knowledge into action through an internship or series of practical training exercises.
