As a Divemaster you will have reached the first Professional level on the PADI ladder.  They are vital to the smooth running of all courses, and provide the opportunity to work with a variety of instructors and students to expand your own personal knowledge of diving.  

Experience is gained through a combination of practical experience and knowledge development both in the classroom and self-study.  Ideally, Divemaster candidates will have their own kit, as they need to be familiar with it's operation.  To assist with your knowledge development you will require various sources of information, most importantly the Divemaster crew pack.

The Divemaster course is one of the most strenuous courses you will take but is very rewarding, the main objective is to share your enthusiasm for diving with students and make them feel comfortable about the sport you love!

Open Water Scuba Instructor

To become an Instructor you will need to take an Instructor Development Course (IDC), which prepares you for the Instructor Exam.  The IDC consists of two parts - Assistant Instructor and Open Water Scuba Instructor - during which you will learn how to and practice giving classroom, confined water and open water presentations.  There are also sessions about the PADI programmes, teaching kids and various aspects of the business of diving.  These are often run consecutively, however, as Doc is a Staff Instructor we are quite flexible on the timing of the AI portion.  Having successfully met all the performance requirements on the IDC, your Course Director will recommend you go forward to the IE - the final hurdle - these are run at various locations throughout the year, and are organised by PADI.
