Pattaya PADI Divemaster Course
What does it take to be a PADI Divemaster?
This is what a decent Divemaster should be. A Divemaster should have role model behavior, know how to plan and lead dives 
with certified divers from beginner level to experienced levels.
Divemasters should also be able to assist a PADI Dive Instructor on PADI courses such as Discover scuba diving, Open water courses, Advanced and Rescue diver courses. Once you have gotten some training and experience yourself you can then also help out with new Divemaster trainee’s.
The training you recieve as a Divemaster will keep you in great stead for many years. Lots of our Divemasters have gone up the ladder and are now PADI Instructors, chief Instructors, dive shop managers/owners and even Course Directors (PADI’s top ranking Dive Instructor)
By those that know our methods of teaching dive Professionals they will tell you first of all we teach without the worry of giving you too much information! have you ever heard the saying don’t teach them all you know! well we don’t fall into that category. We also don’t teach stuff that is irrelevant to your training? On our Divemaster course you train with our Course Director and top Instructors/staff members in the pool and ocean before you train with actual students or divers, it’s a lot less stressful for you this way.
What is interesting about our Divemaster course?
You will be training on the Pattaya islands, Samae san islands, Jomtien beach, you will be diving in swimming pools, diving off our 12 metre speed boats, large chartered boats and our traditional Thai boat in Samae san, real island diving.
You will get the chance to try different types of diving such as wreck diving, deep diving, drift diving etc. You will use equipment you probably haven’t used before, like full face masks, side mounts and dive propulsion vehicles.
We feel the Divemaster course should be a fun learning experience with a lot of laughter and jokes but placing the emphasis on safety, professionalism with great dives and training.
For us as experienced Instructors; if your “Divemasters know what they are doing and are having fun, then everyone is happy”
After diving there is always something to do in Pattaya whether it’s going out to restaurants, movies or * bars and *nightclubs (* just as long as you’re not diving the next day) there are Instructors/divemasters/staff which you can tag a long with and we can show you around the town. We also have our BBQ nights and ceremony nights at the dive center which are always fun.

By doing the elearning the course can be completed in 10 days to 2 weeks easily.
The traditional way to learn the Divemaster knowledge is Candidates read the PADI Divemaster Manual, watch DVD’s, complete Knowledge Reviews and exams in class, this method is time consuming.

There are a few swims and a solution thinking test that needs to be completed on the course. You build up the stamina for these swims by diving and snorkeling on the day dive trips.

The exercise is a pass/fail and you do get as many goes as you like until you reach mastery. The candidate’s performance must be of Instructor demonstration quality.
