The Divemaster course is the gateway to becoming a dive instructor. It is an advanced training program that gives you the knowledge and skills you need for your instructor certification, and opens the door to a professional career guiding and training other divers.
Trainee Divemasters are expected to become role models for responsible and ethical behaviour in diving. As we like to say at DPM Diving, they are true ambassadors of the oceans, committed to respecting the marine environment and raising awareness about minimizing our impact.
The certification is issued by SSI, and during the course you gain a deep understanding of diving theory, practical skills, management of diver groups and dive supervision.
It is an experience that goes beyond a certification: it is a journey into exploration, teaching and conservation of the underwater world. If you dream of a career in diving, this is your first step.
It is not all theory
One of the most exciting parts of the Divemaster course is the chance to sharpen your diving skills, and that means real hands-on experience underwater.
Throughout your training you will complete a series of dives in different conditions and marine environments, which turns you into a highly competent diver. You will also learn to navigate underwater, lead groups of divers and perfect your rescue skills.
Duration of the course
The Divemaster course can last from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on whether you choose a more or less intensive model. In other words, we adapt to the diver’s needs.
Materials and exam included
Our packages include all materials and exam fees. Remember that this examination is official and conducted by an independent organization like SSI. We make sure you have no trouble passing.
Requirements
The Divemaster is an intermediate certification that requires a minimum of 40 logged dives, as well as completion of the Diver Stress & Rescue course.
Safety first
The Divemaster course puts safety at the centre. You will learn how to assess and manage risks, recognize signs of stress in other divers and be ready for any emergency. The training includes first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) practice, so you are well equipped to respond quickly and effectively.
