PADI
Divemaster - £459
The
PADI Divemaster course is the first professional
step on the PADI ladder. This course is
unlike any of our other courses, as it
gives you the opportunity to work with
and assist your instructor during training.
This will help you gain extended accident
management and problem solving skills.
You will be seen as a role model by recreational
divers and learn the day-to-day running
of the dive industry.
This course is, run by our highly qualified
instructors and is divided into 4 areas:
- In depth Diving Knowledge Development
- Stamina
- Water Skills
- Practical Assessment whilst assisting
in PADI courses
2DiVE4 have come up with a revamped structure so we cover ALL the elements of the Divemaster course over a 3 month period. So theoretically we run 4 x 3 month Divemaster courses a year. Anyone who then misses a theory session can then automatically go on to the same session on the following course. This way you are only ever 3 months away from completing your Divemaster internship.
