Dive Master Program
Why taking the Dive Master course with Don Foster’s Dive Cayman?
Our company follows the PADI protocol when teaching the class. What it set us apart from other similar courses is the practical aspect ("hands on") that we can offer to our students. Over the last 30 years Don Foster’s Dive have taken Dive Master interns that benefited from interacting with real customers during scuba diving courses, boat diving and snorkeling.
Many of our interns became Dive Instructors and went on to work for dive companies all over the world.
In our busy dive shop you will experience all the phases of providing great customer service. From logging in divers to setting up gear, observe class development, retail, fill station management, boat procedures and more.
Our fleet of six boats (ranges from 48 feet single screw to 65 feet double deck snorkel boat) will expose you to all the dynamics and variations this business has to offer.
In addition, IYT classes can be taken to make you a well rounded crew/ boat driver as well as a great Dive Master.
The role of a Divemaster can be varied, but will predominantly encompass the following roles:
- Organizing, conducting and supervising recreational diving activities (but not training), both shore and boat based.
- Assisting instructors in conducting training programs and activities for certified divers.
- Generally supervising non-training related diving activities by planning, organizing and directing dives.
- assessing the hazards of a dive site and informing the divers of the hazards,
- briefing divers on the layout and points of interest of a dive site,
- suggesting routes for a dive at a specific site for autonomous divers,
- checking divers into and out of the water from a boat or shore entry point,
- leading a group of divers in the water.
- Within the limits of some agencies, Divemasters may:
- act as instructional assistants to instructors.
- supervise participants in experience programs for uncertified divers.
- teach and certifying skin divers and snorkellers.
- conduct scuba review programs for certified divers.
