Divemaster | American Divers

Course Description

Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with a PADI Instructor,  you will learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. You will complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others improve their scuba. You will put this knowledge into action through a structured internship.

Course Structure

  • Prerequisites.  To take this course,  you must be:
    • 18 years old
    • A PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another training organization)
    • A PADI Rescue Diver (or qualifying certification from another training organization)
    • An Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (or qualifying first aid and CPR training from another organization) course completion within the past 24 months.
    • Have at least 40 dives to begin the course and 60 for certification
    • Be fit for diving and submit a Medical Statement (PDF) signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
  • ADI uses the internship method of training Divemasters because we believe they should be taught one at a time, and they should work with real Open Water students – not simulated ones.
  • ADIs Divemaster internship is the most complete available.  This course can take several months, and the student must work with two complete open water classes.   It is designed to create capable, competent Divemasters.  Most importantly, we are preparing the divemaster student to become an instructor.
  • Since our Divemaster training program is tailored to each individual, it is best to call ADI at 321-453-0600 to set up an appointment and discuss schedules and fees.
