Want to be the leader of the pack? The Divemaster course is the first step to becoming a dive leader. Many DMs go on to become instructors. The DM course must lay a solid foundation for potential instructors to build upon to insure they are the best they can be. Even if you choose not to become an instructor, DMs are considered role models by many divers. This is a responsibility that I don't take lightly. As a dive leader in the industry, you will be evaluated based upon your diving skills and knowledge. You must be an expert in both. That is the goal of my Divemaster course.

This isn't your standard DM course. My DM course has been organized in such a way to increase diving capacity. Unlike traditional DM courses, my course will introduce hogarthian/DIR equipment and techniques as well as team diving procedures. In addition to the standard agency curriculum, successful graduates will have mastery knowledge of:

* Decompression Theory
* Oxygen Exposure
* Hogarthian/DIR equipment considerations (single and double tank configurations)
* Team diving procedures
* Advanced Dive Planning (including gas management)
* Multiple propulsion techniques and how they are used to supervise/control students

As a Divemaster, you will be able to lead certified divers and supervise/assist with diving classes. You will become a role model that less experienced divers will strive to be like.
