PADI DivemasterThe first step on the professional path |
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 a PADI Instructor to expand your diving skills
and knowledge to the professional level. Then, in the most fulfilling part of the course,
you'll learn and practice supervising diving activities and assisting with student
training.
As a certified PADI Divemaster, you may supervise and assist with both training and
nontraining 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 boats
or the shore. You may also conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experience and Scuba
Review program for certified divers. Nondivers may also enjoy a visit to the underwater
world under your supervision during the PADI Discover Snorkeling experience and PADI Skin
Diver course.
