Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure into the professional
levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with
a PADI Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the
professional level. PADI Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to
supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. PADI Divemaster is the
prerequisite certification for both the PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba
Instructor certifications.

During the PADI Divemaster program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and
independent study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises
that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others improve their scuba.
You put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training
exercises.
