PADI Divemaster Training – being passionate at work

The first step to turn your passion for diving into a career is to enroll for the PADI Divemaster training and to achieve the certification. The prerequisites are determined by the dive association and the dive center.

Candidates who are participating in our internship require some diving experience (between 40-60 logged dives) or certifications in specialities like deep, navigation and night, the PADI Rescue Diver and the EFR or another recognised first aid certificate (not older than 24 months upon completion) and a medical certificate signed by a doctor (not older than 12 months upon completion). The minimum age is 18 years. If a candidate does not or only partially meets the requirements, the required courses can be completed with us before the internship begins.

Ideally, a candidate has 8 weeks to complete our extensive PADI Divemaster internship. 4 weeks is set as an absolute minimum and is only suitable for participants who already have sufficient experience.

Our dive activities and trainings take place during full-day diving trips with our boat. In addition to all required training due to the PADI standards are our Divemaster trainees part of the team and fully involved in day-to-day business with direct customer contact. This includes, for example, advice and sales in the diving center, preparation and maintenance of rental equipment, filling dive cylinders, planning, organising and coordinating boat diving trips, ensuring a smooth daily routine on the dive boat in the role of a tour leader and dive guide etc. As a boat operator, we also provide valuable insight into boat handling. After all, a divemaster spends a large part of his “working time” on the boat. Therefore we recommend to complete in addition the Dive Boat Crew course.
