    Prerequisites
    • PADI Divemasters are respected dive professionals who are aligned with the largest and most respected dive organization in the world – PADI. PADI Rescue Divers who are at least 18 years old may enroll in the PADI Divemaster course. You also need to have:
    • Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months.
    • A medical statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
    • At least 40 logged dives to begin the course and 60 dives to earn certification.
    • Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organization may apply – ask your PADI Instructor.
    • As a dive professional, you’ll want to have all your basic scuba equipment, including a dive computer, a dive knife, and at least two surface signaling devices. If you don’t have that, we can help you get the best pieces for the best prices when you arrive. During practical skills exercises, like underwater mapping and search and recovery, you’ll use a compass, floats, marker buoys, lift bags and slates. Your PADI Instructor may suggest additional gear that will be useful throughout your diving career. The divemaster program at Maui Diving is on average 4 weeks long. Occasionally it can be finished in 3 weeks but we are more interested in making sure you’re safe and secure in your new roll as divemaster, we feel the extra week is worth it.

      Doing your divemaster training with Maui Diving is an excellent choice. We have the unique opportunity to provide you with the experience of being mentored by at least 6 different experienced instructors. You’ll have your one instructor assigned to you that will teach your dive master course, but you’ll get to tag along and help out other instructors to learn how they do it as well! A well-rounded practical education is what we strive to provide you before your divemaster training is completed. Last but not least, you’ll enjoy free dives for life with us by doing your PADI Divemaster Training with Maui Diving! Anytime you come back, you’re free to dive with us again. You become part of our Ohana, our family.

      You’ll begin your studies by reading the Divemaster Manual and watching the Divemaster Video (a book and DVD package). Call us at 808-667-0633 to enroll in the course and get your Divemaster Crew-Pak, which also includes other reference materials – like the PADI Instructor Manual and The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving – that you’ll need during the course.

      Consider taking Dive Theory Online, another PADI eLearning® program, that takes you step-by-step through dive physics, physiology, skills, equipment and environment, plus a Recreational Dive Planner (RDP) review. By successfully completing Dive Theory Online, you can get credit for half of the Divemaster Final Exam. Your PADI Instructor can explain how this works when you meet to schedule knowledge review sessions along with your waterskills exercises, workshops and practical assessments.
