Start your Pro experience!!

Take the first step in your professional dive career and become a Dive Master.

Working closely with your Instructor, you’ll expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills as you become a dive professional.

The Dive Master training develops your leadership abilities by training you to supervise dive activities and assist Instructors with student divers.

Scuba Libre offers an important additional training with this course, which takes the Dive Master certification to a higher level: we give you the opportunity to work with us in the actual environment, taking part in the daily operation of our dive center.

This means that in addition to all the important skills and theory you will be learning from your Instructor and through self study, you also will gain hands-on experience being involved in our day to day operation.

This will include assisting your Instructor during open water courses, leading dives under the supervision of your Instructor, giving pre-dive briefings to a group of divers, generally helping to coordinate daily diving operations and much more.

1. Work at dive center and on live-aboard dive boats
