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

First time noob obtaining open water PADI

Unquestionably, a must-do bucket list activity (with Pro Dive Cairns).Knowledgable team, thoughtful pick ups and drop offs during lessons, and friendly staff all the way. The lessons were hands-on and very informative with everyone's safety in mind. Such a cool experience, you really don't want to take any chances. Five star rated for a reason! Whoop Whoo, Yip Yip! Till next time!Thank you, Pro Dive Cairns!

Best experience with the best instructor!

A great experience! I learned a lot while having a good time and felt safe all the way through the course and dives! A large part was due to the greatest dive instructor Flo! I have only good memories from the experience!

You are never to old to experience diving with Pro Dive Cairns

I want to thank Pro Dive for an amazing experience, for the value of such an experience both personally and within the economic valueI would also like to express as a 56 year old how amazing my instructor and dive master, Satoshi was, he took his time in a space that had to fit a lot of knowledge and training within a short amount of time.What Satoshi gifts is a formal knowledge and an ability to share this knowledge calmly and without frustration, a sometimes rare trait in today's fast paced environment... he would often take that breath to explain, show and listen to each of us and our individual needs. He also gifts a beautiful sense of play, his play is sensitive, and is in no way showing off; he offers an experience of flow within his play, encouraging us students to breathe and find our own sense of curiosity. Lastly Satoshi encouraged us, he gave us permission to learn through a somatic expression—by both talking and showing us the things we needed to learn, he then took the time to allow each of us to find our own unique sense of learning, he listened and watched us, encouraging even within our mistakes.I appreciate that he took me as an elder diver under his wing, Satoshi never stopped encouraging me, giving me confidence to keep experiencing.I also want to say everyone at Pro Dive were amazing... the boat was great, the food fantastic, beds comfortable, knowledge of the reef and inclusion of everyone into a team is very special.And everyone at the store, booking in and helping me was greatThank you again for a very special 56 birthday Kindness Gav
