Who is a PADI Divemaster?

PADI Divemasters are divers just like you who have decided to take their diving to a professional level. There are many reasons why divers decide to obtain professional qualifications:

To lead the adventure


One of the main reasons scuba divers earn their Divemaster qualification is because they want to share their passion with others by helping them discover the wonders of the underwater world.


PADI Divemasters serve as mentors and guides, leading the way into a world of wonder, adventure and unparalleled beauty.

to live the dream


For many divers, the opportunity to earn a living doing something they love is a determining factor in becoming a PADI Divemaster.


Whether it's a full-time job at an island resort or a part-time certified assistant helping with local classes, the PADI Divemaster rating can lead the way to limitless new experiences and opportunities.

To dive like a Professional


PADI Divemasters need to know what they are doing.


Through knowledge development sessions, in-water skills exercises and workshops, and practical assessment, as a PADI Divemaster you not only develop the skills to organize and lead a variety of diving activities, but you hone your own personal skills and knowledge and you become a reference for others
