Divemaster

Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with an A & H Aquatic Adventures Instructor, Divemaster candidates expand their dive knowledge and hone their skills to the professional level. PADI Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.

During the PADI Divemaster program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems. You put this knowledge into action through an internship or series of practical training exercises.
