Divemaster Course will change your life!
You have completed your open water, advanced and rescue diver courses and are now thinking: how can I take my diving to the next level? The Divemaster course is the answer! Our Divemaster internship can be completed in as little as ten dives. However, you are welcome to take up to 12 months. Indeed, this is one of the benefits the Scuba Shane Diving offers to our Divemaster students with unlimited shore dives.
Why should I become a Divemaster?
When you become a Divemaster you upgrade your scuba diving skills to a professional level. Therefore, you will be able to plan, organise, lead and supervise dive expeditions. Additionally, you will be trained to take other divers out and act as their guide and leader. More, becoming a Divemaster you can assistant the instructor in dive courses of all previous levels you have already completed. Further, you can use your Divemaster qualification as a stepping stone towards becoming a scuba diving instructor. Divemasters are in high demand across the driving industry, particularly in scuba training facilities.
What does the course involve?
As a Scuba Shane Diving Divemaster intern you will enjoy unlimited shore dives and six boat dives of your choice. Importantly, you must gain experience with different vessels and different locations. Further, you can begin the internship during your Rescue diver course. However, if you do not have any scuba diving certification we can tailor-make a package specifically to your needs and preferences.
In addition, it is a good idea to be in good health and have a great sense of humour with a positive personality. Once you are a certified Divemaster you can expand on other scuba diving opportunities. Indeed, if you perform well there may even be a spot available on my team. Scuba Shane Diving believes that a positive attitude is half the battle and we are always looking for help, which is usually hard to find. As a Divemaster, you will need to perform a role that consists of several responsibilities.
Your role and responsibilities as a Divemaster:
- Assist instructors with their courses.
- Role play with the Rescue Diver Course.
- Guide certified divers on daily social trips.
- Pick up and drop off equipment and tanks as needed.
- Perform some social media marketing.
- Lead snorkelers on social trips.
