[PADI DIVEMASTER COURSE]

You are now an experienced diver , but ….. hey, you could make your passion your profession. Considering a career change or simply need a lifestyle change . As a PADI PRO, living in the tropics , we get to dive the most beautiful sites in The Gulf, and to meet people from all over the world. Life is good on Tao Island.

A Divemaster course could be completed in as little as weeks , as you may also spend a little longer, and gain more experience , or absorb a little more of that great Koh Tao atmosphere. Both options are available . Guy Corsellis ( Course Director ) and his team of Master Instructors schedule these lectures in a 3 day program. Guy and his staff will run these programs every 2 weeks.

If you are limited in time, you could still complete all performance requirements in as little as 2 weeks . Having a min. of 20 dives is required prior to the start of the DM course, and 60 logged dives are required before certification.
The divemaster course usually runs as an internship though, and is unlimited in time and dives.You complete the DM course at your own pace and will have theory lectures on physiology, physics, decompression theory and equipment as well. Another lecture about Divemaster Conducted programs will introduce you to many different PADI Experience programs.

The course not only focuses on increasing your theory knowledge , but also on sharpening your water skills and general capabilities as a diver. Although now you will also be in charge of other divers . Through assisting on Discover Scuba Diving or Discover Local Diving programs , you will develop all the qualities on a leadership level. You gain experience assisting our team of instructors on OW, AOW and Rescue courses.

As you may choose the internship option (unlimited in time and dives ), you will be assisting loads of different courses. You will become part of an instructional team , and help divers to become certified. A very rewarding experience !

You will map a dive site, perform swim tests, exchange equipment with another diver while buddy breathing underwater, perform a skill circuit and another rescue scenario. Anytime during the course you can make fun dives. It is like being in your very own diving university! There is a great social atmosphere whilst you make the course and there will always be a lot of people diving of some sort and usually a big bunch of divemaster trainees all at different stages of their courses. You are guaranteed a lively atmosphere. Everyone is interested in diving and you are all living in a tropical paradise so you will find that many of these people and our instructors will become good friends for life.
