What to consider when choosing to become a PADI Divemaster
Who should take this course?
Do you love scuba diving and want to share it with others on a whole new level? Then take the PADI Divemaster course and do what you love to do as a career. Scuba divers look up to Divemasters because they are leaders who mentor and motivate others. As a Divemaster, you not only get to dive a lot, but also experience the joy of seeing others have as much fun diving as you do
The Length of Time Needed
Divemaster courses can range from two weeks to three months, but you should consider that going professional is not just about putting ticks in boxes, it is about gaining experience and knowledge. We prefer our Divemaster interns to take a minimum of 6 weeks, and longer is even better, that way you learn every aspect of the dive business, gain substantial experience in the water and prepare yourself fully to work professionally in the dive industry.
The Location
The Divemaster course is not just about diving, its also about a lifestyle and choosing the right location can add to this experience. Coron is the perfect place to enjoy a tropical paradise, whilst still having all the facilities around you that will make life comfortable and entertaining. With its many bars, live music, restaurants and many other activities Coron is a great place to socialize. The climate is tropical varying from 27 to 31 degrees year round with water temperatures 26 to 30 degrees
The Diving Centre
Diving centers vary from country to country and place to place, it is important you are in a Dive shop that has a good reputation with a broad customer base, this is important as you need to gain experience with customers taking different types of courses and leading divers with varying abilities over a range of different dive site types and conditions.
You need to be surrounded with a team that have a high level of professionalism, where instructors are willing and experienced enough to pass on their knowledge to mentor you in the right way through your development.

The orientation of the island and sheltered areas allows us to dive all year around with one side of the island always sheltered from winds and waves.
The type of customers
Because Coron has such diversity of dive sites and a large customer base , we have divers with many different diving interests allowing our Divemaster Trainee Interns to gain the widest possible experience of different types of diving and courses.
