PADI Divemaster Course

Course Code NDAC-PADI-DM

Divemaster Course

Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational diving begins with the Divemaster program.

Working closely with an SDI or PADI Instructor, in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills to the professional level.

Divemaster training develops your leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and assist instructors with student divers.

During the Divemaster program, you learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. You complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch your ability to organize and solve problems. You will put this knowledge into action through our internship scheme.

PADI Assistant Instructor Course

Course Code NDAC-PADI-AI

Assistant Instructor Course
Are you looking to do something extraordinary? To do something only others dream of? Take a step into the world of teaching others what you love… diving!

The road to becoming an SDI or PADI Instructor can be intense and not everyone has the time to complete the Instructor Development Course (IDC) all at once. Becoming an Assistant Instructor allows you to break down the IDC to fit around your family, work and personal commitments.

As an Assistant Instructor you work in partnership with an Instructor to provide student divers with quality knowledge and skill development during SDI or PADI programs. The teaching skills you will develop during your training will allow you to independently conduct several SDI or PADI programs.

Accommodation is available at the NDAC Wooden Wigwam Village >
