Start your professional dive career with the PADI Divemaster course on the reefs of Baa Atoll in the Maldives, where manta rays gather in season. You build dive-leadership, mapping and supervision skills on working sites such as the channels near Dharavandhoo and the house reefs feeding Hanifaru Bay, and earn your first PADI professional rating.
PADI Divemaster is the first professional rating in the PADI pathway and a prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course. It is competency-based, so certification depends on demonstrating professional-level skills rather than just attending sessions.
Internship dives take place on the working reefs around Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll, from gentle house reefs to current-fed channels near Hanifaru Bay. Candidates get real experience guiding in warm 27-30°C water with manta and reef-shark traffic.
