Divemaster

DESCRIPTION

This PADI Divemaster rating is the first rung on the PADI Professional ladder. An extremely thorough and character building course that will train an individual in the PADI system of teaching (including some courses that a DM themselves may conduct), assisting instructors on PADI programmes, guiding divers and looking after clients. This is a physically tough and mentally challenging training course that steps things up a few notches. It will prepare you for the responsibility of looking after others underwater, and being a competent assistant to Instructors in teaching activities. The Divemaster course requires a significant investment of time, money, energy and commitment.

At this stage of your development we also recommend dedicated training in boat handling, and thus getting the RYA Powerboat Level 2 qualification.  In Antibes we recommend SeaScope France for this and other RYA training.
