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

A very nice experience out on the reef, definitely worth the money and time! Also some of the nicest diving sites out of most Cairns operators. Can only recommend.

Professional, Safe, Seamless and Supportive

Pro Dive Cairns really came through for me to finish my open water certification. Every single member of staff I interacted with was professional as well as being jovial and fun, from Reservations through to Instructor, Cook, and Skipper. I entered the open water course via referral and was quite anxious due to failing some skills on my first attempt. The instructor Satoshi was an absolute champion and positive to push me through and past the mental barrier. While onboard the liveaboard I could not fault the professionalism, safety, and hospitality of all the Pro Dive staff as well. It's good to see a company work collegiately as a seamless unit. Cannot recommend highly enough and will be back next year for the Minke whales!
