PADI Divemaster

Become a PADI Divemaster!

 

 

What You will Learn...

During the PADI Divemaster course with Tenerife Dive, you will learn dive leadership skills through classroom and independent study. You will complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organise and solve problems, along with helping others to improve their scuba. You will put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.


What You Can Teach...

When you become a certified PADI Divemaster you will be authorised to:

  • Supervise both training and non-training-related activities by planning, organising and directing dives.
  • Assist a PADI Instructor during the training sessions for any PADI Diver course.
  • Conduct the PADI Skin Diver course and PADI Discover Snorkelling program.
  • Conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experience.
  • Conduct the PADI Scuba Review program.
  • If qualified as a Discover Scuba Diving Leader, independently conduct the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program.
  • Earn the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Speciality Instructor rating to be able to teach the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer speciality.
  • Independently guide Open Water Diver course students on the tour portion of Open Water Diver course Training Dives 2, 3 and 4 at a ratio of two student divers per certified Divemaster.

 


 

You will be able to accompany Open Water Diver students under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor during:

  • Surface swims to and from the entry/exit point and during navigational exercises.
  • When the instructor conducts a skill, such as an ascent or descent, a Divemaster can remain with other student divers (with an individual student or buddy team).
  • Accompany student divers during Adventure Dives or Speciality training dives under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor.
  • Conduct the PADI Seal Team Skin Diver Specialist AquaMission.
  • Conduct subsequent dives under an instructor’s indirect supervision for Discover Scuba Diving participants after the participants have satisfactorily completed the first dive with a PADI Instructor.
  • Teach Emergency First Response courses after successfully completing an Emergency First Response Instructor course.

The Scuba Gear You Use...

  • You use all the basic scuba equipment and some scuba accessories such as a dive slate, dive knife, compass, dive watch, etc.
  • It is highly recommended that you own all of your own scuba equipment, as familiarity with personal gear improves general scuba diving skills. You can find everything you need through our online dive shop.

The Learning Materials You Will Need...

The PADI Divemaster crewpack includes everything you will need to begin the PADI Divemaster course. Crewpacks are available for purchase at the dive centre. Materials included in the basic Divemaster crewpack are:

  • Divemaster slates.
  • PADI Divemaster Manual.
  • PADI Instructor Manual.

Other materials that you may also require are the eRDPML, Diving Knowledge Workbook and the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving
