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

Great trip, great crew, great experience

Must do activity when in Cairns, the weather condition was spotless, and the crew were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Big thanks to Kevin, Michael, Courtney, Marine, Matt, Chris, and, Carol for looking after us so well, keeping us entertained, and keeping us safe.The liveaboard trip is just unreal and well worth your money. If you are looking to do your open water licence, then look no further as the crew's knowledge and skills were extensive and will benefits you for the years to come.

Amazing experience

Just finished my open water course (5 day course, 3day live aboard) with ProDive Cairns and had such a great time. Flo and Kevin were amazing instructors, who I don’t think even stopped from the minute they picked us up in the bus to go to the training centre, til we got off the boat on day 5. The knowledge, care and attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed. From teaching us in the class room, cleaning the lunch station in between our training videos, doing 13 dives over 5 days, hooking the tender on the back of the boat with 20 knot winds, cleaning dishes and bathrooms, stripping down the linen and always being so happy and helpful. They have made our experience unforgettable, I hope the crew are well looked after because they really do go above and beyond!
