Divemaster is the first PADI professional level and dive centres need Divemasters to organise dive trips, assist with the instruction of divers and lead underwater tours.

Our course takes you up to Rescue Diver first and then you are able to start the Divemaster course, which is scheduled over 6 weeks and longer than most dive schools allow. This helps you to gain lots of experience and take advantage of the unlimited diving. It also gives you more flexibility to manage the time as you want.

You will have the chance to participate in a wide range of dive courses and dives working with a variety of the dive school's Instructors and Divemasters. It's very much a case of 'what you put in you get out' and you are encouraged to get involved in as much as possible.

For information about the PADI system and what the Divemaster course involves please click here.

Once you are qualified there is also a 2-3 week internship option (at no further cost) to build up your practical experience and prepare you for a diving career. This includes leading dives, dive logistics, sales & marketing, and equipment maintenance.

You will be based on Koh Tao, a beautiful and fun island, which is now one of the world’s top dive training locations. For more details about the location, lifestyle and dive school click here.
