Become a Divemaster on Koh Phangan

Divemaster Training

PADI Divemaster Course in Koh Tao ThailandSure, on the way to freedom are some hurdles you have to overcome. Before you can become a diving instructor you need to be a divemaster. As a PADI divemaster (DM) you can guide certified divers and assist scuba diving courses in the classroom and in the swimming pool. Since you’re not yet a diving instructor you need to be under direct supervision of an PADI diving instructor at all times. After the PADI rescue course and the divemaster training, you will be ready for the next step in the PADI diving career, the PADI Open Water Diving Instructor (OWSI)

As a certified PADI Divemaster (DM) you already can:

  • Guide and accompany certified divers on their underwater activities.
  • Actively assist PADI Diving Instructors in academics, pool and open water training.

Once you have become a divemaster there is nothing in your way anymore to become a scuba diving instructor and start your new career as a PADI professional! The divemaster training and the divemaster certification are the beginning of your new lifestyle.
