Go Pro
Love what you do & share what you know.
​
Perhaps you want to learn more about the sport you love and take your diving to a whole new level. Or maybe you want a career that allows you to follow the sun and work in paradise. Whatever the reason, going pro with PADI is the best way to get there. PADI is the largest and most respected scuba diver training organization in the world. We match the pace and schedule of professional courses to your needs. And if you're ready to enter the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC), we can connect you with a PADI Course Director and mentor you through that course as well.
Divemaster
The PADI Divemaster course is the first step in your journey as a PADI professional. You'll deepen your knowledge of dive physics, physiology, equipment, and the environment. You'll learn how to fine tune your diving skills, assist with classes, supervise divers, lead tours, and solve problems. The course consists of self-study, classroom knowledge development, pool practice, internships, and several days at open water sites. The Divemaster course requires a serious commitment to be successful, but it is also one of the most rewarding courses you'll ever take.
