Prerequisites In order to become a PADI Divemaster you must first already be a PADI Advanced Diver (or equivalent) and a PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent). You must be 18 years old and be certified in CPR and First Aid. You must also have logged at least 20 dives to begin the program.
Class Schedule The PADI Divemaster class has three phases of training: Watermanship, Academics, and Internship. Since program schedules differ from instructor to instructor, your training schedule will also vary. Your PADI Instructor will outline your training schedule in detail.
What You Will Need To Buy You will need the PADI Divemaster Manual, Diving Knowledge Workbook, and The Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving. Your Instructor will inform you of any other books and other materials you may need. You will need your own personal snorkeling gear (which includes masks, snorkel, fins, boots, gloves, PADI dive table or wheel, whistle, and a timing device).
