What's Next?
The Divemaster course will
give you a thorough grounding in what it takes to be a
diving professional. There is the fun and friendship
that working in an industry whose core service is one
you love but it must be remembered that it is a business
and one that has inherent dangers. As a pro you must
ensure that your students have a great time but they
must also have a safe time, as a DiverCity Divemaster
you'll have the confidence and the skills to take your
passion anywhere in the world and know you're ready for
the job. The next rung on becoming a PADI professional
is the Assistant Instructor course
which, when combined with our Open
Water SCUBA Instructor course, forms the DiverCity
Instructor Development programme, the precursor to your
instructor examinations.
Course Costs and Dates
The Divemaster course is £400 and courses are ongoing throughout the year. To timetable your course contact one of the DiverCity Instructional staff. Welcome to the Team!
