The Role

What Is a Divemaster?

The PADI Divemaster is the first level of PADI professional certification. Divemasters lead and supervise dive activities, assist instructors during courses, and serve as guides for certified divers. It’s the foundation of a career in diving — and the moment you officially cross over from diver to dive professional.
