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 fantastic place to learn to dive

We did the 5 day learn to dive course with Pro Dive and it was fantastic.All the instructors (Kevin, Leo, Courtney, and the rest of the boat crew) were really good and there was plenty of experience to help with our development if we had any difficulty with certain aspects. Even the trainee dive masters, like Dan, were great for advice. The 3 days on the boat itself was really good and provided an excellent opportunity to see the reef and to make new friends. We also did the Adventure Diver course which provided some great further experiences like a deep dive.I would thoroughly recommend Pro Dive, for both learning and recreational diving.

awesome!

Had the best time during the open water and adventure course on the liveaboard! Met great people on board the boat and in the classroom and obviously the GBR is just stunning! Thank you especially so much to our instructor Flo who is everything you could wish for in a teacher and such a great person! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn how to dive in Cairns :)

A highlight of our trip to Australia!

The liveaboard boat was an incredible experience, getting to scuba and snorkel with all sorts of wildlife in the Coral Sea and learn about proper dive techniques. The staff and instructors are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, from the office staff to everyone on the boat. We are grateful for our time with Pro Dive Cairns and will absolutely be booking future trips!
