Welcome to the world of Diving Professionals. Divemaster is the first step into the Leadership ranks of diving. It is during this class, that most of your leadership skills are honed. As a DM you will be able to help an Instructor conduct classes, Divemaster boats, and conduct several programs on your own. I use several different Instructors, as well as professionals throughout the industry who specialize in particular areas of study. In the PADI program this is also the class where you learn about Physics, Physiology, and Decompression theories of diving. The abilities of a Divemaster are limited for both the Divemaster and the Instructor with whom the DM is working. As an Assistant Instructor, you will have more programs you can run on your own. For an Instructor, the AI is authorized to conduct more of the classes, as well as conduct some of the skills in the open water. If your ultimate goal is to become an Instructor, this program will help you prepare for the Instructor Development Course. The AI program will teach you how to teach classes in both the classroom and the water. This helps to take some of the stress out of the IDC, as your teaching presentations will be second nature. We will also revisit the "DM Skills", and the DM EXAMS", so that you will be proficient in them when you take the Instructor Exam, as this is where most failure's occur. |
