About UsThe PADI Divemaster course is the first step to becoming a dive professional. It is a highly sought after qualification showing that you have attained an expert level of skill & knowledge in the field of scuba diving.
Taking part in the divemaster course is a life changing experience for everyone who takes this step. The transition from recreational diver to PADI professional scuba diver is a significant one.
Training to be a PADI Divemaster in Thailand with Blue Guru Diving will give you the ability to either work in diving or just be a better, safer diver.
What is Divemaster training like?
It involves the acquisition of a great deal of knowledge and the development of all the skills learnt in previous courses to a higher level. It also requires mastery of your rescue skills, the capacity to recognise and prevent problematic situations and an increase in your own diving abilities.
Only by refining your expertise in these areas will you be able to become a confident, safe diver who acts as a role model to recreational divers. This is what it means to become a PADI Divemaster.
