The SSI Divemaster course is the entry point into your professional diving career. The Divemaster course teaches you to be a leader and take charge of dive activities. Through knowledge development sessions, water skills exercises and workshops, and hands-on practical assessment, you develop the skills to organize and direct a variety of scuba diving activities.

Communication, presentation and effective teaching techniques are some of the important skills learnt in this professional qualification. Additionally, you will be required to assist complete beginners in their open water course along with students who are undergoing continued education and conduct reactivate courses.
