Divemaster - The first step to become a dive professional

back ]

Take your first step into professional diver training with the PADI Divemaster course. The course expands on the higher-level learning begun during the Rescue Diver course. The divemaster course is a means for developing exemplary diving skills, professional-level knowledge of dive theory, competence as a certified assistant, dive management and supervision abilities, rescue skills, ethical role-model behavior and, finally, enthusiasm and a sense of fun about diving.

At the DiveIN Divecenter Dahab you can complete the Divemaster course in three different ways: as COMPACT, COMPACT.plus or COMPACT.extra. The actual Divemaster course can be done in only 5 days if the theoretical part (the manual) is done by self-study. Depending on interest, in addition you can do the "plus" or "extra" program, which is to assist on an OWD course or participate in theoretical Divemaster instruction. The course will be of different duration corresponding to the chosen program. Don’t hestitate to ask us for YOUR course.
