PADI Divemaster Course

Class Description

 

Working closely with a PADI Instructor, you'll expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills as you become a dive professional.   PADI Dive master training develops your leadership abilities by training you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.

 

You will get many open water dives as well as pool training with this class. As this is the most important step to becoming an instructor, you will train with multiple instructors with and without students to build your confidence, knowledge and to get hands-on experience.
