Frequently asked questions

What do I need before I can start the Divemaster course?
You must be at least 18, hold a PADI Rescue Diver rating (or a qualifying certification from another organisation), have completed EFR Primary and Secondary Care training within the past 24 months, and have at least 40 logged dives to begin. A dive medical signed by a physician is also required.
How long does the PADI Divemaster course take?
Typically 3 to 4 weeks. It combines dive theory, practical watermanship and stamina exercises, and hands-on training assisting our instructors, so we schedule it flexibly around you.
What can I do once I’m a certified PADI Divemaster?
As a PADI Divemaster you can supervise dive activities, assist PADI instructors with student divers, and independently guide and lead certified divers. It’s your first professional rating and the entry point to a career in diving.
Do I train alone with an instructor?
Yes — as a professional candidate you train closely and personally with a PADI Instructor or Course Director, working alongside our team throughout the programme.
Can I go on to become a PADI Instructor afterwards?
Absolutely. PADI Divemaster is the prerequisite for the Instructor Development Course (IDC), so it’s the natural first step toward becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
Do you offer hotel pick-up?
Yes — we offer a door-to-door pick-up service from any hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date, especially in peak season. We also accept last-minute bookings depending on availability — contact us anytime to check for open slots!
When will I receive my pick-up time?
After your reservation is confirmed, our team will contact you with your exact hotel pick-up time and all the details you need for your trip.
