The PADI Divemaster course takes approximately 50 hours to complete. Some Divemaster candidates choose an intensive program and become Divemaster's in a matter of weeks. Others complete the course over many weekends.

It is an exciting, rewarding and transformative experience. As a divemaster candidate, you’ll gain the knowledge, tools and experience you need to lead diving activities both independently and alongside other PADI Professionals. 

As with other PADI courses, the divemaster course includes knowledge development (in-person and online), confined water practice sessions and open water training. Your PADI Instructor will also lead you through skill workshops and hands-on practical activities. 

Divemaster is the first rung on the professional ladder, so how you interact with your instructor will be a bit different than your diver-level training. Instead of explaining exactly what to do and watching you do it, your instructor will sometimes act as a mentor, providing guidance and plenty of helpful feedback.

After successfully completing your Divemaster training, you’ll receive a PADI Professional Member number and access to PADI's Job Board.

Minimum Age and Prerequisites:

To start PADI Divemaster training you must be at least 18 years old and have:

  • A Rescue Diver certification
  • At least 40 logged dives 
  • CPR and First Aid Training in the past 24 months (Can be undertaken in house)
  • Medical clearance to dive

Junior Divemaster

Divers who are younger than 18, but at least 15, may enrol in the PADI Junior Dive Master Programme. Junior Divemaster is a subset of the PADI Divemaster course. Junior Divemaster candidates can complete a significant portion of the divemaster course including the mapping project, search and recovery scenario and dive theory. Additional training is required once the diver turns 18, but Junior Divemaster's will be well-prepared to become full-fledged divemaster's.

To start the Junior Divemaster program, divers must have:

  • PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver certifications
  • 20 logged dives 
  • Medical clearance to dive
