The PADI Divemaster course is designed to train qualified individuals as supervisory personnel, and as such is the first level of diving as a professional. In this role, the divemaster may oversee general diving activities and serve as an instructional assistant. Divemasters may also lead dives for certified divers. As a Divemaster, you will also be a member of PADI, our certifying organization, allowing you to continue on with professional development if you so desire. But more than merely providing leadership training, the Divemaster course will help you to hone your diving skills to textbook quality and dramatically expand your academic knowledge to a completely new level. In so doing, you'll be an example for other divers, as well as enrich your own diving enjoyment.
