Be a PRO!

Our Divemaster program will prepare you for diving as a professional with the tools and skills you need to be come a working diver. Its not easy but is incredibly rewarding.

Below is a truncated list of the major requirements. During your time as a trainee you will have many more requirements that are too many to list here, but these are the main bullet points for the program.

As with all of our classes, you are paying for the training, but you must EARN the certification. For some this takes 6 weeks, and other maybe 6 months or longer. We will always do everything we can to make you the best possible dive professional we can.
