Scuba divers look up to Divemasters because they are leaders who mentor and motivate others. As a divemaster, you not only get to dive a lot, but also experience the joy of seeing others having as much fun diving as you do.

The PADI Divemaster course is your first level of professional training. Working closely with our PADI Course Director and Instructors, you’ll fine-tune your dive skills, like perfecting the effortless hover, and refine your rescue skills so you anticipate and easily solve common problems. You’ll gain dive knowledge, management and supervision abilities so you become a role model to divers everywhere.

As a PADI Divemaster, you’ll lead others as you supervise scuba diving activities and assist with diver training. Whether you want to work at a faraway dive destination or close to home, the adventure of a lifetime awaits you. 

In fact, we have assisted our Divemasters to secure employment with many scuba diving jobs on the strip in Las Vegas!
