Divemaster Course and Training involves ” higher level learning” that begins in the Rescue Diver Course and continues with the Divemaster Course. The problem solving skills and accident management and prevention techniques are further developed together with your role as a mentor, supervisor and dive leader.
The Divemaster course is divided into three sections : Knowledge Development, Water Skills and Stamina, and Practical application. It is usual to progress through all three areas simultaneously with the practical application sessions – Internship, being dependant on Open Water Diver and other course logistics.
