Entering the professional world of scuba diving brings exciting challenges and endless
possibilities: There is the chance to explore nature’s fascinating underwater creatures, and
the opportunity to share your professional knowledge and experiences with students who
want to learn. Scuba diving is quickly becoming one of the most popular sports in the
world. Imagine entering a realm that artists can only imagine in their wildest dreams, and
on a daily basis! Getting paid to do something you enjoy is something everyone wants to
achieve. Professional divers achieve this goal, and are both respected and admired for their
hard work and accomplishments. From owning and operating a mainland dive center or
resort, to working, teaching, and traveling across the ocean on a live-aboard dive boat,
professional divers get to take part in a wide variety of fun and exciting experiences – both
on land and under water.

Ocean Quest Scuba's dive master program starts with getting your books. As part of this
course you will receive all the necessary materials to complete your course. We will have
academic sessions to review your work and to help you fully understand the material you
have covered.

In addition to the academics, you will have pool sessions to fine tune the 18 basic skill of
scuba diving. There will also be four different swim endurance tests and a rescue review and
evaluation. Then we get really busy, you will work with students (real students) both in
confined water training, and open water dives. You will participate in a dive master
conducted program (with real participants), you will watch, observe and learn how to work
a dive boat. I will lead you through a dive masters routine day, until it becomes routine to
you! You will learn how to map a dive site, evaluate conditions and work in the supervision
of certified divers.

Out side the normal curriculum, you will learn how to properly fill tanks, proper radio
communications, boat handling, line handling and much more. Once you have completed
this course you will truly be ready to work as a dive master. If your goal, is not to
necessarily work as a DM, you will still gain great experiences in handling the day in and
day out situations a dive master faces.

This course takes some hard work and dedication, but the reward is great! Gain the
experience and confidence of being a dive master. Earn the respect of fellow divers who will
look up to you for advise and assistance. This is the final step in your training path, next
will be instructor!
