Divemaster Course And Internship

Who is a Divemaster?

The Divemaster licence is the first professional step in scuba diving and a prestigious title. The Divemaster license allows you to guide certified divers, to assist instructors in diving courses and also do some training programmes and parts of the courses. Being a Divemaster you get new opportunities for work and travel turning your hobby into your job. To do the Divemaster course in Tenerife is a perfect choice. With good weather and water conditions the whole year you can find plenty of amazing dive sites and meet many other divers the same passion about the underwater world as yourself.

How to start the course?

You can enroll for the course even if you have no experience and licenses yet. It's possible for the beginners to do all the courses up to Divemaster in a row. To become a PADI professional it's required to be older than 18 and to be in good shape, healthy and willing to study. If you already have obtained some of the certificates in other federations it doesn't prevent you from continuing your studies in PADI. We do regular Divemaster courses in different languages: English, Polish, French, Spanish, German and Russian. The divers are trained by our highly-qualified and widely experienced diving instructors.

Why do the course in our dive center?

We do the training of future professionals of PADI in an operating dive centre that receives daily beginner and certified divers. Due to that the trainees can watch Divemasters fulfilling their day-to-day duties and get experience of real work and operation in a dive center. It's important that we don't use our students as free working force. We have divemasters and instructors employed to do the job. Dealing with the students we always keep strictly to the standards and main principles of PADI. We have several pools of different depth that are perfect to do the training programmes of the course. We provide our students with lacking equipment for free and also assist in searching for the accommodation.

About the course

As soon as you book the course online, we order the elearning that will arrive to your email in several days. You will do all theory, tests and exam online to arrive to Tenerife being ready for the training of the Divemaster course of PADI that lasts about 6 days, 8 hours per day. One part of the training is held in the diving center where we teach the theory. Other days we do the practical part of the course in the ocean. A Divemaster has to know the theory of scuba diving and be a secure underwater guide. Upon finishing the course you have to have at least 60 registered dives.

Additional information

During the Divemaster course divers explore many fascinating dive spots of Tenerife. In addition to the teaching program you can also do fun dives. You will practice Divemaster skills in real work conditions helping our employees. Together with the Divemaster title of PADI you will get the DSD Leader license as a gift from our dive center. This license allows you to do Discover Scuba Diving program that is very popular in many touristic areas being the main activity of most dive centers. DSD is a programme for beginners that would like just to try scuba diving without completing a course. Divemasters that have the DSD Leader title will always have an advantage over those who do not.
