GO PRO
So you want to go pro? Great and here at Blue Vision we can help you. We run Divemaster courses to suit your schedule and have regular Instructor Development Courses throughout the year.
Divemaster
This is the first step to becoming a PADI professional and some say this is the course which truly makes SCUBA divers out of recreational divers. Divemaster training helps you develop your diving knowledge, leadership skills and you dive skills to a professional level. Ultimately qualifying you to assist PADI Instructors to teach courses, to supervise qualified diver activities and even lead certain courses on your own.
To become a Divemaster you have to realise that this is not a traditional 'taught' course but is in fact a learning experience where the Divemaster in training works hand in hand with the instructors to achieve their goal. This can be done via an internship or via a series of simulated exercises.
We at Blue Vision Dive Centre strongly encourage the internship path to becoming a Divemaster, this means that not only do you understand what a Divemaster's role is in the industry but also how a dive centre is actually run. Because of this we will gladly take on divers with less than the prerequisites to train with us and will include the courses required to get you to Divemaster in your own specifically tailored package.
Prerequisites:
- PADI Advanced Open Water (or equivalent from another agency);
- PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent from another agency);
- Current CPR and First Aid Training;
- Have 20 dives to begin but 60 dives to certify; and
- Be 18 years or older.
It includes:
- All PADI training materials including the RDP Wheel
(assuming you already own the RDP and E-RDP);
- A series of dives depending on your own needs; and
- Advice, help and teaching to suit your own requirements.
Schedule:
- Due to the two ways this course can run we cannot be specific. However as a rule we recommend 1-3 months to complete an internship with us, depending at what level of diver you are already.
