PADI Divemaster Bali
PADI Divemaster Bali is the first PADI course that allows you to enter into the diving professional world and start earning money from your passion.
You will bring your skills and knowledges to a professional level and you will be one of the most recognized level of divers on the boat. If that is something that intrigues you keep on reading!
During the course you will meet a lot of different divers with different levels of experiences and background.
You will learn new skills, diving as a business and with your instructor you will build the mindset of a divemaster: to take care of other divers while providing coaching and assistance.
And off course in between the course a lot of laugh and fun dives.
What does the PADI Divemaster Bali consist of?
The PADI Divemaster course Bali consists of three basic sections:
- Knowledge Development
- Water Skills
- Practical Application
You’ll probably progress through all three of these sections simultaneously, based upon the course schedule you and your instructor agree upon.
The schedule will depend on your needs and the instructor’s needs, and local logistics.
Although the course is designed to be very flexible, you must complete some parts before moving on to others.
Knowledge Development
The Knowledge Development consists of nine topics, which you’ll cover through independent study and discussions with your instructor.
Your independent study will include interacting with eLearning and watching the integrated PADI Divemaster Video clips, then completing the Knowledge Reviews.
When you’re ready, you’ll take the PADI Divemaster Exam, which covers the different study areas.
You need to score 75 percent or higher for certification; if you earn less, you’ll take a makeup after you’ve had ample time to go over what you missed with your instructor and restudy the material.
Waterskills
The Waterskills section develops and evaluates your overall waterskills and improves your existing dive skills.
The section includes timed swims, rescue evaluation and refining your basic scuba skills so that you can role model for beginning divers learning those skills.
Practical Application
The Practical Application portion consists of projects, workshops and applying what you’ve learned in real or simulated divemaster situations.
These include creating an emergency assistance plan, completing a dive site map, and a search and recovery task.
You’ll also develop your abilities as a PADI Divemaster in training and nontraining situations, either working with actual students and divers under instructor supervision, or in simulated practice sessions in which you and other candidates role play as students and divers for each other.
Upon completing all the requirements for certification, you’ll have earned the PADI Divemaster certification and become a member of PADI, the world’s largest and most respected organization of dive leaders and professionals.
Why does other diver want to dive with you as a Divemaster?
Certified divers are qualified to dive without supervision within the limits of their experience and training. Yet, they commonly choose to dive under divemaster supervision. Why?
There are probably hundreds of reasons, but common ones include that divemasters:
- Know where to find the best diving.
- Handle dive logistics (safety equipment, basic site information, etc.).
- Recommend techniques for diving in the local conditions.
- Help divers compare their skills and experience to those conditions.
- Can handle difficulties – minor or major – that may arise.
- Provide information that helps improve safety, adds to the fun and allows a more enjoyable dive altogether.
In other words, divers choose to dive with you, a PADI Divemaster, because you make diving more convenient and more fun.
