PADI Divemaster course in Cyprus

Why your Divemaster with us is different

A PADI Divemaster is much more than just a guide – you are the heart of every dive center. Here in Cyprus, you won't find mass tourism, but rather a 4-week intensive training course that will take you to a new level technically, personally, and professionally.

🏠 Home base included

You can stay for free in our shared room at the Pro-Base. Want more privacy? A private room is available at any time for a fair additional fee.

🐢 Marine conservation as a mission

We won't just train you to be a dive guide. You'll become an active part of our sea turtle project. Learn how to protect ecosystems and share knowledge.

🚀 Your career springboard

Since our PADI Divemaster course is led by our PADI Course Director, you benefit from top-level training and will be perfectly prepared for the IDC, should that be your goal.

🆘 Full-Package

Not a Rescue Diver yet? No problem. The PADI Rescue Diver course and the EFR (First Aid) course are already included in our package.

Your 4 weeks to become a PADI Pro

With us, you won't do a "bottle-carrying internship" but a real apprenticeship with lots of FUN!
