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

Best live aboard in QLD

My second time on the pro dive Cains live aboard and once again it exceeded all expectations. Absolutely brilliant experience. Every single staff member was great, especially Kevin who made the trip so much fun and gave the best dive briefs. Couldn't fault a single thing and great value for money. 10/10.

Amazing experience!

Incredible trip! I had an amazing experience on the 5 day certification liveaboard with Pro Dive. My instructor Flo was so patient and made me feel calm and confident in the water from day one. She explained everything clearly and is a brilliantly instructor! The crew on board were so on it and supportive, there was a great atmosphere on the boat the whole time. The food was delicious too, we were all very well looked after! I’d highly recommend Pro Dive to anyone looking to get certified.

Sharks and sea turtles what's not to like

We had the most incredible time at our three day tour to Great barrier reef. We were snorkling at different locations around great barrier reef and living on the boat. We came out to the reef where no other boats were at the time and we didn't feel like tourists at all. The staff, the other participants and the surrounding were great! The food was so delicious and we we're incredible spoiled the entire trip. We were snorkling in the night with reef sharks, during the day with so many pretty fishes, corals and with a big sea turtle. We couldn't ask for more - it has been so awesome and we will recommend it to everyone we know. Thanks to the staff and the other participants for an incredible experience! :-)
