PADI Divemaster Course

Requirements:

• PADI Rescue Diver certification
• Minimum age 18 years
• 40 logged dives
• EFR within 24 months

Description:

<p>The Divemaster course is where diving stops being purely a hobby. It's a professional rating, which means the standard expected of you is higher and the course is correspondingly longer — typically two to four weeks rather than a few days. Much of that time is spent building real working experience, not sitting in a classroom.</p><p>You'll develop your own diving to a demonstration standard, learn dive theory in more depth, and practise the practical side of the job: leading certified divers, managing dive sites, supporting students, and handling the logistics that keep a dive day running. The exact pace depends on how often you can dive and how quickly you meet the performance requirements.</p><p>Entry requirements are more involved than for recreational courses. You'll need a PADI Rescue Diver certification, a current Emergency First Response certification within the last 24 months, at least 40 logged dives to begin and more to complete, and you must be 18 or older. It's a real commitment, and it tends to suit people who already know they want diving to be more than an occasional thing.</p>
