How To Become a PADI Divemaster In Cyprus

PADI Divemaster is the first level in the PADI Professional System. You will perfect your leadership skills whilst expanding your diver knowledge, and increasing your confidence. A PADI Divemaster can be trained by a PADI Instructor, hence these can be completed at any time across the year without the need for attending an IDC with a Course Director.

The Divemaster Internship is made up of water skills, stamina exercises, along with training exercises to stretch your organisational skills, as well as learning to mentor and motivate divers and enhance your ability in problem solving. Plus learning a lot more about dive theory.
