Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with a PADI Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level.

PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite certification for both the PADI Assistant Instructor and PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.
Get College Credit
You may be able to earn college credit for the PADI Divemaster course.
What You Learn
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 as well as help others improve their scuba. You put this knowledge into action through a structured internship or series of practical training exercises.
What You Can Teach
After becoming certified as a PADI Divemaster you will be authorized to:
• Supervise both training and non-training-related activities by planning, organizing and directing dives
• Assist a PADI Instructor during the training sessions for any PADI Diver course
• Conduct the PADI Skin Diver course and PADI Discover Snorkeling program

• Accompany Open Water Diver students under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor during:
- surface swims to and from the entry/exit point and during navigational exercises
- when the instructor conducts a skill, such as an ascent or descent, a Divemaster can remain with other student divers (with an individual student or buddy team)
• Accompany student divers during Adventure Dives or Specialty training dives under the indirect supervision of a PADI Instructor.
• Conduct the PADI Seal Team AquaMission
• Conduct subsequent dives under an instructor’s indirect supervision for Discover Scuba Diving participants after participants have satisfactorily completed the first dive with a PADI Instructor.
• Teach Emergency First Response courses after successfully completing an Emergency First Response Instructor course.
The Scuba Gear You Use
You use all the basic scuba equipment and some scuba accessories such as a dive slate, dive knife, compass, dive watch, etc.
It is highly recommended that you own all of your own scuba equipment, as familiarity with personal gear improves general scuba diving skills. You can find most everything at your local dive shop

"A superb open water instructor"

Review of DiveCanuck, November 17, 2009
Dave is an exceptional scuba instructor. I took my basic open water certification and drysuit certification with him, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. In pool and classroom, Dave is awesome. This a guy who brings his A game to every single class, day in and day out, always helpful, enthusiastic, and genuine. As a teacher myself, I know how hard this is to do, and I really admire him for his skill at it. He's great at listening to his students, understanding their questions or problems, and providing helpful answers. And he's generous with his time. Some instructors are in and out of the pool in minimum time, just run through the drills and then home. Not Dave; he knew we'd learn best by getting comfortable in the water and, very importantly, playing in the water as well as drilling the various skills we need to know. That paid off well for us as students when we hit the open water, because we already had a lot of pool time and felt comfortable.
Doing my open water dives with Dave was an awesome experience. First of all, he was great in accommodating my schedule and very patient when I had to postpone the dives due to a cold and congestion. And then the dives themselves: we dove at Alki Cove 2, which he knows like the back of his hand. I felt completely comfortable diving with him (I hadn't felt nearly so positive about a previous instructor). The dives were great fun, he showed me a giant pacific octopus and many other underwater wonders, and to make a long story short I'm hooked on the sport and eager to do my advanced open water dives with Dave as well.

"Best Dive Instructor"

Review of DiveCanuck, August 10, 2009
Dave at Dive Canuck SCUBA Instruction is my fourth dive instructor and it was by far the best experience I've had. I became a PADI Scuba Diver in Mexico and Open Water Diver in Hawaii. Dave was just the thing I needed to transition to an Advanced OW Diver and making the switch to cold water and shore diving. I now dive regularly from shore with new dive buddies... Exactly what I was hoping to achieve!
For the advanced diver, he allows you to struggle a little with your gear and has plenty of patience while you make a fool of yourself so you don't have to do it in front of your new dive friends!
With small class sizes and flexible scheduling it's a great personalized experience and a great value. I have a few more classes already scheduled with Dive Canuck SCUBA Instruction!
