Frequently Asked Questions

Can I find a job after this course?

Yes. The PADI Divemaster rating is recognized globally. While we cannot guarantee employment, many of our best interns go on to work in Andaman, Thailand, or the Maldives.

Do I need my own equipment?

As a professional, you are expected to own your own basic gear (Mask, Fins, Snorkel, Dive Computer, SMB). We can provide BCDs and Regulators, but having your own full kit is highly recommended.

I don't have 40 dives yet. Can I still join?

You need 40 dives to officially start the DM course. However, you can come early and do “Fun Dives” with us to build your numbers up, or join our “Master Scuba Diver” prep course first.

How long does it really take?

It can be done in 2 weeks if you rush, but we recommend 4 to 6 weeks. This gives you enough time to learn comfortably and gain real experience assisting actual students.
