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 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!

Beware of the package trip of OW+AOW

Before the trip, we’ve called to the ProDive and check the trip we booked. They said it is a package of OW and AOW. But after the trip, ProDive charge us for extra money and said that AOW was not included in the package. Furthermore, the ‘AOW’ is not the Advanced Open Water, is Adventure Open Water, which I never heard before. And then they said if we want to get Advanced Open Water, we have to finish another 5 dives, which is impossible for us to finish in this trip. Although the staff on boat is wonderful, but the experience is poor at the end.

Would come back in a heartbeat

We had a FANTASTIC time with Pro Dive! Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff made the experience feel safe, relaxed and fun.We are certified divers but had not been diving for a few years. It was nice being able to go with a guide for our first dive. Then we were able to explore with just our buddies at our own pace.The dive sites were great and full of life! I have already recommended Pro Dive Cairns to friends and family and would pick them again next time we come to Cairns!
