Divemaster Course

The PADI Divemaster course involves higher level learning that begins at the Rescue Diver course. The PADI Divemaster course expands the problem solving skills developed by the Rescue course and extends it to supervisory situations with student divers and certified divers.

Supervising students and certified divers is part of your training. At Scuba Shack you will become part of our team and learn all the important related aspects of the dive industry.

Topics include customer service, equipment sales, equipment maintenance and operational challenges. Organizing boat and shore dive are all part of the course. Finally, the course also addresses attitudes and judgment, because as a PADI Divemaster you will encounter situations which are sometimes neither “black nor white". The PADI Divemaster course can be tailor-made around your schedule. The minimum time you can do the PADI Divemaster course is 12 full days.

Minimum age for this course is 18 years and a Rescue level dive qualification is required. Upon qualification you need a minimum of 60 dives.
