2011 Divemaster Course Program

Becoming a Divemaster is the first step along the path of being a dive professional. As a Divemaster, you can lead dives, assist with training courses or work on a dive boat. Our "On Board" Divemaster training course will get you ahead in your goal of being a dive professional, and provide you with actual experience in the dive industry.

The program consists of four days of diving on our dive boat along side our crew as well as some additional pool sessions. You DO NOT have to do all four days in a row, you can do them on your schedule within the dive season. Each of the four days you are on the boat, you will be asked to complete portions of the PADI Divemaster Certificationpractical application workshops, assessments and other assignments.

The program does not include classroom Divemaster Knowledge Development (book work), you must do the book work on your own through the PADI online eLearning system which you can do from home at your convenience online before starting the program.

You will take the Divemaster Final Exam with us in Ocean City on one of the four days you are there for your internship.
