becoming a certified padi divemaster

The PADI Divemaster Course is the first level of the PADI Professional rating. As a PADI Divemaster, you will hold the minimum rating for professional employment in the diving industry. Your qualification will allow you to supervise recreational diving activities (either boat or land-based), work as an instructional assistant on all PADI courses and is just one step away from a PADI Instructor rating.

Our 19-day course is a combination of theoretical classroom sessions along with practical application sessions, covering a variety of pool and open water PADI courses. Your course includes two, three-day liveaboard trips on board Pro Dive Cairns, where you will complete up to 20 dives (a mix of compulsory and recreational). 

Please Note: some medical conditions may prevent you diving and you will be required to complete a waiver and medical statement prior to the trip. If you have recently/continue to suffer from an illness or condition that may affect your dive fitness,  or currently taking any prescription medication, you will need to consult a doctor for a 'fit to dive' medical certificate. 

Compulsory Prerequisites 

  • PADI rescue diver certifications or equivalent
  • Dive medical
  • Minimum age 18 years
  • Minimum 40 logged dives (additional dives can be organised)
  • Current senior first aid certification completed in the last 24 months

Go diving ASAP!!!

The 5-day learn to dive course teaches you everything you need to know about diving to be safe and have the most fun possible out in the water on GBR. My instructors Kevin and Flo were so kind, patient, and funny which made my experience one I will look back on fondly for the rest of my life :)The culture on the boat was inclusive and the meals were large and tasty. So good after a long day in the water.DO NOT go drinking before getting on the boat. This isn't a rule but it makes you very seasick.

great Dive trip

I had a great experience with ProDives Cairns. I did a reffered Open water certification. My instructor was Molly and she did a great job making sure I did everything to standard then took me on an extra dive to make sure I understood everything that I learned prior to coming on this trip. She made me relax and enjoy my time underwater, the rest of the crew was also great. Mariaus did a great job cooking delicious food for everyone. All the other guests were great people and we all got along well and enjoyed each others company. I believe there were 8 nationalities on the ship.

Amazing diving experience

An amazing diving experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day 2 night live aboard. If you looking to do this trip, ask to be put on a trip with Kevin who is the dive guide. He is hilarious and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Big D is also an awesome instructor for our advanced course. This was our first time diving unguided and we felt confident because of the thorough briefings. 2 of the toilets were blocked on our boat which made the entire boat smell real bad (this happened prior to us boarding the boat) so check that this is fixed before making your booking! Also the trip out to the sites in July is rough due to winds, make sure to take sea sick tablets.
