If you've thought about making diving your life or maybe just reducing the cost of your vacations then becoming a Dive Master is the first step. At Big Blue we treat our leadership level courses with the seriousness they deserve, while still maintaining the personal touch you just don't get elsewhere.
You'll find that there's no more rewarding experience than following the Big Blue staff through their work and becoming a part of our team.The course can be tailored to your individual needs and schedule, but remember, the more you put in, the more you will get out. What's involved? You will work closely with your instructors to expand your diving skills and knowledge to a professional level, following them as they lead other courses. Then, in the most fulfilling part of the course, you'll learn and practice supervising diving activities and assisting with student training. You will also experience first-hand the day to day job of a Dive Master.
You will begin to lead fun divers under the supervision of a professional and start to take responsibility for the running of the boat and as you gain confidence, you gain employability as well. An important part of diving is having fun and we'll make your Dive Master Challenge an unforgettable evening. Click here for pictures of recent DM challenges. What do I need to start?
