Earn your first professional rating with the PADI Divemaster course in Port Blair and learn to supervise dives, assist instructors and guide certified divers through Andaman waters. Working the sheltered Chidiyatapu reefs and the wider Andaman Sea, you refine your diving to a demonstration standard and build the leadership, mapping and rescue skills a working dive professional needs. The certification is your entry point to the PADI professional ranks.
PADI Divemaster is the first rating in the PADI professional system and a prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course. A certified Divemaster can guide certified divers, assist instructors and run certain PADI programmes independently under standards.
Your internship dives use the calm, coral reefs around Chidiyatapu and the wider Andaman Sea off Port Blair. Warm 27-29C water and good visibility through the December-to-April season make it a practical place to log professional hours and lead real divers.
