We believe that to get the best possible training at a professional level you learn more by working with real life students.

Therefore we design our Divemaster course so that you will assist on Open Water, Advanced Open Water and Rescue courses with our dive professionals.

You will work in the pool with first time divers doing Discover Scuba diving, on ReActivate programs and lead divers in our local environment who may be both new to the area or have been diving as a certified diver for some time.

There is no set schedule for the Divermaster course, we tailor the course to your work/life schedule and around what courses we have running. Please note the majority of dive courses take place on weekends, so you will need to commit to weekend training.

If you start the Divemaster course in summer it may take you a month to complete the required assessments, as there is more opportunity to sit in on a lot of courses, however during our quieter time it may take you months to complete.

We do our very best to work with our candidates to schedule a course outline that will suit their availability.
