Dive Master / Boat Crewman Program
Paychecks in Paradise
Have you caught yourself imagining what it would be like to work as a professional diver, living a lifestyle that most people only dream about?
No matter what your experience level is, we can help you make your dream of becoming a PADI Divemaster, a reality. If you are ready to begin living your life instead of merely existing, a career as a divemaster may be right for you.
Becoming a divemaster is not always easy, not everyone is able to complete the course. For those that do, it is like no other job in the world. A divemaster’s day consists of prepping divers, loading gear, mating on the boats and, of course, diving!
Our program takes about two months to complete from start to end (less if you already have some dive certifications).
The general process involves going through four separate classes:
- Open Water Diver
- Advanced Diver
- Rescue Diver
- Divemaster
Classes 1-3 are required prior to starting the Divemaster course; along with logging a minimum of 60 dives. Those take only three in-person days to complete, along with finishing the bookwork for each in your own time.
The Divemaster course is your first professional-level course. It takes the average person about a month to finish.
One of the major training aspects that we offer with our Divemaster program is essential boat-crew training. We run several multi-engine dive boats. As soon as you begin dive training, you will also be training in boat operations. The boat-crew training consists of knowledge in driving the boat, anchor operations, basic marine maintenance and marine emergency procedures. This extra training will help set you on a career path to also becoming a U.S. Coast Guard Captain.
Job placement services will be offered to all of our graduates. We foster connections to other dive and snorkel operations throughout the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. There are always job opportunities, including working with us!
We offer installation payment plans, as well as an internship program where you can work off the course fees. We will work around your schedule throughout the courses.
So, if wearing board-shorts to work and having flip-flop tan lines sounds like your type of office, give us a call!
