More than just a Divemaster course

The PADI Divemaster is your first professional-level certification in diving.

For us, becoming a Divemaster is not simply about completing exercises and getting a certification. We believe that if you want to work professionally in diving, you need to learn how the job really works.

That’s exactly what we want to teach you.

We like our divers to feel welcome, comfortable and genuinely looked after from the moment they arrive.

We also take great pride in looking after our equipment, our boat and our dive centre. We believe that being a good dive professional also means paying attention to the small details, taking responsibility and caring for everything around you.

We’re looking for someone who shares that attitude.

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone dynamic, proactive, responsible and enthusiastic, with a genuine desire to learn and work.

Someone who isn’t afraid to get involved, help wherever needed and become part of the daily life of the centre.

You should be friendly, practical, comfortable working with people and willing to work hard.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is seriously interested in developing a professional career in the diving industry.

We don’t expect you to arrive as a dive professional.

We want to help you become one.
