Padi Dive master Course

Palm Beach Divers on Lanta, in Thailand offers all Padi scuba diving and snorkeling courses, like the Padi Dive Master Course.

Begin your scuba dive career with the first step – PADI Dive master. You’re eligible to start your PADI Dive master training after 20 logged dives and successfully completing the PADI Advanced and Padi Rescue Diver course. Working closely with a PADI suba diving instructor, you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level. The most fulfilling part of the Padi Pro course is learning to supervise dive activities and assisting with diver training.

PADI Divemasters are qualified to supervise and assist with both training and non training dive activities. Dive centers and resorts around the world need PADI Dive masters to assist with dive classes and guide underwater tours. PADI Divemasters may conduct the PADI Discover Local Diving experiences and Scuba Review programs for certified divers. They may also conduct the PADI Discover Snorkeling experience and the PADI Skin Diver course, as well as qualify to teach the Padi Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty and Emergency First Response courses (you need to do a separate course with a Padi Course Director to achieve this)
