The PADI Divemaster pathway

PADI Divemaster is the first professional rating in the PADI system and the prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course. Certified Divemasters can guide certified divers, assist PADI instructors and, with further training, independently conduct certain PADI programmes.

Where you'll dive in Seychelles

Leadership training spans Mahe's granite-boulder reefs, marine-park sites like Bay Ternay and shipwrecks such as the Twin Barges, so you train in the calm-to-moderate currents and 26-30C water you will later guide in. Visibility is best around April-May and September-November, when whale sharks pass through often.
