Divemaster Development Course:

This is what we have based The Coral Grand Divemaster Development Course on. As a PADI Divemaster your are expected to have excellent people skills, good rescue technique, sound judgment and a broad knowledge of dive theory - and this is the goal we have set out to achieve.

So what is different at Coral Grand Divers?

At Coral Grand Divers the Divemaster course is taught and supervised by two dedicated staff. All the theoretical aspects as well as water and stamina skills are taught/supervised by our English/Scandinavian speaking Course Director and senior instructor staff and each divemaster candidate is also assigned one personal instructor with whom they will assist on courses. After a certain profiency have been reached, then the divemaster candidate will then have a chance to float between the rest of the instructional staff for more experience. We will address your individual strengths and weaknesses in order to focus on the right areas during the program. Should you for example have trouble with physics, then we will spend some extra time on that subject. As you are probably aware guiding certified divers and assisting an important aspect of a divemaster's job. To make you strong in both these departments we have chosen to exceed the minimum training requirements required by PADI. During our Divemaster Development Course you will have a chance to interact with real guests and customers as well as act out roleplaying scenarious with the staff and other divemaster trainees. ...
