Description
DESCRIPTION
If you are looking to change your passion for diving into a career that leads you to do the best job in the world, participating in the PADI Divemaster program will be your first step into the professional levels of recreational diving.
You will work closely with a PADI instructor, develop your diving knowledge and perfect your skills on a professional level.
PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for both PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.
ACADEMIC
The PADI Divemaster program includes both theoretical and practical training, during which you will deepen your skills in the water with resistance exercises, as well as training exercises aimed at increasing your ability to organize and solve problems and help others improve their dives.
In about 2 weeks, you will expand your diving knowledge, sharpen your skills and increase your confidence, with the aim of guiding and motivating other divers.
At the end of your training as a PADI Divemaster you will be able to:
• conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experience by guiding certified divers;
• supervise training and non-training activities, planning, organizing and directing dives;
• conduct the PADI Scuba Review program;
• if qualified as a Discover Scuba Diving Leader, independently conduct the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program;
• assist a PADI Instructor during training sessions for any PADI Diver course and accompany Open Water Diver students, under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor, during Adventure Dives or Specialty Training Dives.
DIVING EQUIPMENT
The first advice given to all participants in the PADI Divemaster program is to have all their own diving equipment, as familiarity with personal equipment improves general scuba diving skills (but in case you don't have it yet, you can rent everything you need from us).
