PADI Divemaster Courses

If you've ever dreamt of turning your passion for diving into a career then we can help turn that dream into reality!

If you already hold Rescue Diver certification (or equivalent from another training organisation) and would like to take the first step into professional diving then please see below for information of our Divemaster training.

Divemaster Training

During the PADI Divemaster course qualified Rescue Divers will learn the knowledge and skills necessary to make the transition from a recreational diver to the first professional membership level. Instructor level academic knowledge will be developed and tested.

Confined Water Training includes perfecting all standard open water skills which are improved to demonstration quality, rescue skills, equipment exchange (problem solving) and watermanship and stamina are evaluated.

Dives typically include: deep, wreck, drift, reef, navigation, underwater mapping, and dive leader exercises which will develop the candidates' skills in dive planning, leadership and proper response to common underwater problems.

Functioning as an instructional assistant is also covered in the pool and the ocean. Upon successful completion of the course, the student is certified as a PADI Divemaster and qualifies for attendance to PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) - leading to eventual certification as a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

This intensive training is charged at a daily rate of 95€ and takes 8 to 12 days to complete.

Upon successful completion of the Divemaster course you will be required to pay an annual subscription to PADI currently costing 87€ (not included in the price).

Once qualified it is beneficial for you to go straight on and take your instructors course as much of the Divemaster theory you will have learnt is the same for the Instructor exam. Of course you will need the pre-requisite number of dives in order to achieve this: 60+ to qualify as DM and 100+ for the instructor. Please ask us for more details of our next instructors’ exam.
