PADI DIVEMASTER COURSE
Interested in scuba diving as a career? This is the first level of professional training in the scuba diving industry. Divemaster training develops your dive leadership abilities and qualifies you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers. This is a prerequisite certification for both the PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.
Oceanwild's Master Dive Instructor Almudena Miles offers PADI Divemaster course. Following PADI requirements, the course involves classroom and independent study, water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises to strengthen your ability to organize and solve problems, and help others improve their scuba.
