Divemaster Course
DIVEMASTER here DIVERMASTER anywhere.
What makes our Divemater course different? Conditions! Here in the northeast, we have colder water and much more shore diving. This can make diving a little more challenging for sure, however, the benefits of learning how to assist and lead divers in lower visibility conditions here make it easy to go anywhere in the world and use your Divemaster skills not to mention making you a better diver! If you want to continue to be an instructor, these skills will come in handy and make you better prepared to take the Instructor Development Course. Dive on in and become a PRO!
The PADI Divemaster course is for divers serious about taking scuba to the next level. Being a Divemaster means being a professional diver, as it is the first step on the PADI professional ladder. Though a Divemaster is not certified to teach, they are qualified to guide and mentor certified divers, assist instructors with courses, and act as role models for other divers. Whether you want to pursue diving as a career or just want to reap the benefits of being a PADI Professional member, this course is for you.

What sets our PADI Divemaster Course apart? The conditions! Here in the Northeast, we have colder water and rely heavily on shore diving.

These challenges will enhance your ability to lead confidently, strengthen your diving skills, and prepare you for advanced training, such as the Instructor Development Course (IDC).
