WHY NORTHERN UNDERWATER EXPLORERS?
Training PADI Divemasters requires extensive knowledge, experience, and dedication! We ensure that Divemasters trained through Northern Underwater Explorers are among the best in the industry!
Your PADI Divemaster Training will consist of a mix of practical training experiences through Internship and Role-Playing activities.
The Internship involves working in various confined and open water diving settings with actual students in a range of PADI programs, including Open Water and Continuing Education courses. This hands-on experience allows you to engage with real students and divers.
However, it's important to note that when you participate in the internship option, the instructor's primary focus during an Open Water Course will generally be on the new divers, which might limit the feedback you receive. To address this, our instructors at Northern Underwater Explorers make a concerted effort to provide valuable training and guidance to Divemaster candidates during their internships.
Role-Playing scenarios are another key component of your training. You will engage in scenarios where you take on the roles of student, Divemaster, and occasionally Instructor. By practicing in both confined and open water settings, as well as in Continuing Education courses and other programs, you will gain experience in managing common challenges, with immediate feedback provided by the instructor.
At Northern Underwater Explorers, we are dedicated to effectively organizing both internships and role-playing sessions to ensure you receive the highest quality training available.
