Scuba divers look up to divemasters because they are leaders who mentor and motivate others.

Whether you want to work at a faraway dive destination or close to home at a local dive shop, the adventure of a lifetime awaits you. PADI Divemasters are respected dive professionals who are aligned with the largest and most respected dive organization in the world – PADI.

            • A medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
            • At least 40 logged dives to begin the course and 60 dives to earn certification.

            Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organization may apply – ask your PADI Instructor.

            The divemaster course is conducted at your own pace and schedule. This course can easily be completed within 3-4 weeks, especially during our busy summer dive season.

                What will you learn?

                The PADI Divemaster course teaches you to be a leader and take charge of dive activities. Through knowledge development sessions, water skills exercises and workshops, and hands-on practical assessment, you develop the skills to organize and direct a variety of scuba diving activities. Topics and practical workshops include:

                • The role and characteristics of the PADI Divemaster
                • Supervising dive activities and assisting with student divers
                • Diver safety and risk management
                • Divemaster conducted programs and specialized skills
                • Business of diving and your career
                • Awareness of the dive environment
                • Dive setup and management
                • Mapping an open water site
                • Conducting dive briefings
                • Organizing a search and recovery project and a deep dive
                • Conducting a scuba review and skin diver course
                • Assisting with Discover Scuba Diving and leading Discover Local Diving programs

                Your instructor may also offer the PADI Deep Diver and Search and Recovery Diver specialty diver courses along with your divemaster training to help you meet all requirements and to broaden your abilities.

                You may be able to get college credit for the Divemaster course – ask your instructor.

                How can you start learning now?

                Sign up here for Divemaster Online – PADI’s eLearning option – to start now. You can work through eight knowledge development sections using a web-based system that lets you learn at your own pace. You also have access to an online version of the Divemaster Manual for reference during and after the course.

                Another option is to study by reading the Divemaster Manual and watching the Divemaster Video (a book and DVD package). Visit Aquarius Scuba to enroll in the course and get your Divemaster Crew-Pak, which also includes other reference materials – like the PADI Instructor Manual and The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving – that you’ll need during the course.

                Consider taking Dive Theory Online, another PADI eLearning® program, that takes you step-by-step through dive physics, physiology, skills, equipment and environment, plus a Recreational Dive Planner (RDP) review. By successfully completing Dive Theory Online, you can get credit for half of the Divemaster Final Exam. Your PADI Instructor can explain how this works when you meet to schedule knowledge review sessions along with your water skills exercises, workshops and practical assessments.

                What scuba gear will you use?

                As a dive professional, you’ll want to have all your basic scuba equipment, including a dive computer, a dive knife, and at least two surface signaling devices. During practical skills exercises, like underwater mapping and search and recovery, you’ll use a compass, floats, marker buoys, lift bags and slates. Your PADI Instructor may suggest additional gear that will be useful throughout your diving career.

                Check with us to get advice about everything you’ll need as a dive pro.

                • Instructor Development Course

                  $499.00 – $2,549.00

                  If you like people, have a passion for scuba diving and want an extraordinary life – become a PADI Instructor. Teaching scuba diving allows you to share your love of the aquatic world with others while doing what you enjoy – being in, around and under water. PADI Open Water Scuba Instructors and PADI Assistant Instructors are the most sought-after dive professionals around the world because they’ve completed the program that sets the standard for training dive professionals. You earn a PADI Instructor rating through hard work and commitment, but you’re rewarded with a job that lets you share incredible underwater adventures with others – transforming their lives for the better and enriching yours.

                  Are you ready to join the ranks of the dedicated professionals who teach the world’s most progressive and popular scuba diver education programs? Then Go PROSM with an Instructor Development Course.

                  The Instructor Development Course (IDC) is made up of two parts – the Assistant Instructor (AI) course and the Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program. Most dive professionals complete the entire IDC and go on to attend an Instructor Examination (IE), which is the final step to earn a PADI Instructor certification.

                  Successfully completing just the AI course results in a PADI Assistant Instructor qualification. When an AI is ready to progress, attending an OWSI program allows entry into an IE to earn a full PADI Instructor rating.

                  **PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Mandatory PADI IDC eLearning not included ($411). PADI Dive Theory eLearning highly recommended ($144). PADI instructor examination fee not included (approx. $600). Equipment not included.**

                • EFR Instructor

                  $299.00 – $439.00

                  CPR and first aid are key skills that are important to everyone, not just scuba divers. As an Emergency First Response Instructor, you teach skills based on internationally recognized emergency care guidelines, and you can offer courses to anyone. The great thing about EFR courses is they make learning easy by providing a comfortable environment to practice emergency care skills. Your students finish the course feeling confident with their new skills and ready to help someone in need.

                  The only requirements are that you’re at least 18 years old and have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. An EFR Instructor rating is required to become a PADI Instructor, but you don’t have to wait until you’re ready to go pro. You can complete or refresh this training during your PADI Instructor training.
