The Divemaster Course
Our Divemaster Course is the first step into the world of professional diving.
You will not only learn how to safely guide and organize dives, but also further develop your skills in dive theory, problem-solving, and leadership.
Whether you choose SDI or PADI makes no difference to us – both programs are structured similarly, equally challenging, and lead you to an internationally recognized professional level. We adapt the training to your learning pace and offer you intensive support in a relaxed atmosphere.
Divemaster Course in 2 Weeks
Our compact 2-week Divemaster Course is aimed at experienced divers who already meet all prerequisites – meaning they are Rescue Divers, have current first aid knowledge, and have at least 40 logged dives.
These two intensive weeks are exclusively dedicated to your Divemaster training.
You will deepen your theoretical knowledge, participate in workshops, learn to plan dives, conduct briefings, solve problems, and safely guide certified divers.
You will be actively involved in our daily dive operations, gain real insights into the work of a professional, and will be optimally prepared for your role as a future Dive Leader – compact, practical, and of high standard.
Divemaster Course in 4 Weeks
Our 4-week Divemaster Course is the perfect choice for anyone who not only wants to learn the content of the Divemaster program but also wants to get a deep behind-the-scenes look at a professional dive center.
In addition to the actual training, which naturally includes all exercises in the pool and in the ocean, you will also be integrated into the daily routine. You will assist in the dive shop, help organize excursions, gain initial experience in direct customer contact, and thus get a real insight into the daily work of a Divemaster.
This option is ideal for gaining real practical experience and optimally preparing you for a career in the diving industry – structured, practical, and under real conditions.
Divemaster Internship 3.5 Months
“Divemaster Internship at DeepDiveMexico – Training in Exchange for Work
Do you want to become a Divemaster but are short on cash? No problem, we always need helping hands, and then our Divemaster Internship is just right for you.
Instead of paying the full course price, you support us in the daily operations of the dive center – e.g., with equipment preparation, tour organization, or customer contact.
In return, you receive your complete Divemaster training including theory, all pool sessions, workshops, and practical assignments such as briefings or dive site maps.
Your advantage is simply being with us longer.
You will get to know all facets of a dive business and will thus be optimally prepared for any potential problems. Even if it’s “only” 3.5 months, you will leave as a true Divemaster.
