PADI DiveMaster Course Details
To begin your full or part-time career in diving, attain the
PADI DiveMaster rating. After successfully completing PADI Advanced Open
Water and Rescue Diver training, you'll work closely with our PADI Instructors
to expand your diving skills & knowledge to the professional level. Then, in
the most fulfilling part of the course, you'll learn and practice
supervising and assisting with student training through two complete Open
Water classes. As a PADI DiveMaster, you may
supervise and assist with both training and non-training dive activities in
a variety of environments. PADI Dive Centers and Resorts employ PADI
DiveMasters
 to help with classes
as well as lead guided dive tours off of dive boats or the shore. You may
also conduct the PADI Discover
Diving experience and Scuba Review program for certified divers. Non-divers
may also enjoy their first look
into the mysterious underwater world under your supervision during the PADI
Discover Snorkeling experience and PADI Skin Diver course.
The PADI DiveMaster class is the first step along the professional
pathway. Offered here at PACIFIC Wilderness on an internship basis, you may begin any
time. Just come in, sign-up, and we'll get you started! How quickly
you complete the course depends upon you - we allow you to work at your own
pace.
