PADI Divemaster

The PADI Divemaster course is the first step in the professional ranks of PADI. The PADI Divemaster course is a very demanding and time consuming course. Building upon everything you have learned up till now, you will be introduced into the realm of teaching as an assistant to a PADI Instructor. This course is performance based, so completion times vary. Some complete the course in 6 months, but it is not uncommon for the course to take up to a year. 

While this course is much more difficult than anything you have previously done in diving, it is also more rewarding and prestigious. If you are unsure whether this course is for you or not, ask yourself this question and be honest with yourself "why do I want this?". If your answer is to collect more certifications, then the work, time and money you will put into this course will out weight the reward. If your answer is to help others enjoy diving, then this is where you need to be.
