PADI Divemaster

Your First Step Toward a Professional Diving Career

Do you dream of making your passion for the ocean your profession? The PADI Divemaster course is the first professional level within the PADI system and opens the doors to working at dive centers, leading activities, and assisting in training new divers. It’s a transformative experience that strengthens your knowledge, technical skills, and underwater leadership.

During the course, you’ll learn how to organize and lead dive trips, confidently guide dives, assist in PADI courses, refine your buoyancy and navigation skills, and respond to real underwater situations. You’ll also develop a deep understanding of diving physics, physiology, theory, marine environment, and equipment.

The program combines theoretical modules (which you can progress through at home with your digital manual), confined water sessions (pool), physical endurance exercises, and real open water training alongside our instructors during activities with students or certified divers.

You can take the course intensively (3–4 weeks) or in a more flexible format tailored to your availability.
