PADI Divemaster

The PADI Divemaster course takes approximately 50 hours to complete. Some divemaster candidates finish the program in a matter of weeks, others spread their training over many months. As with other PADI courses, Divemaster includes skill practice in a pool or confined water, open water sessions and knowledge development (classroom and PADI eLearning®). During the Divemaster course, you'll study scuba diving physics and physiology, learn to demonstrate scuba diving skills in a slow and controlled manner and strengthen any diving weaknesses you may have (navigation, buoyancy, dive planning, search and recovery, etc.). Your instructor will teach you how to deliver a thorough dive site briefing, lead diving activities and how to respond to and prevent problems when working with student divers. You'll also get practical experience leading a Discover Local Diving program, conducting a Discover Scuba® Diving (DSD®) experience in confined and open water and teaching an Advanced Snorkeler (Skin Diver) course in confined water. You'll also learn how to assess PADI ReActivate® participants and conduct a scuba refresher. To become a certified PADI Divemaster, you must also complete five waterskill exercises, participate in a dive skills evaluation, create a dive site map and an Emergency Assistance Plan. Lastly, you must score at least 75% on an exam about course standards and divemaster responsibilities. You may either take a second exam about the diving environment and dive theory and pass with a score of 75% or better, or you can enroll in PADI Dive Theory Online. Dive Theory Online must be successfully completed before you become a PADI Divemaster, but no earlier than 12 months prior to the start of your divemaster training. Once you're a certified divemaster, you can apply for a scuba diving job close to home or anywhere in the world. Or, you can take the next step and become a PADI Instructor or Assistant Instructor.
