After completing the Rescue Diver course you can begin the PADI Divemaster course. In this course you will develop leadership skills and be an active assistant to the instructor in working with students.
The hands-on course is a clearly structured class that simulates different scenarios and real-world training dives with students. These classes give you experience as an assistant instructor or diver supervising open water dives and as a guide in the underwater world.
In the theory course you will study basic topics such as underwater physiology, diving philosophy, scuba diving skills, observing students in the course, supervising, contingency plans, making an underwater terrain plan and so on.
You must be a PADI Rescue Diver or equivalent and have a minimum of 20 registered dives to enroll in the course. By the time you complete the Divemaster PADI course, you must have at least 60 registered dives
