GO PRO - LIVE THE DREAM!!

The PADI Divemaster Course will transform you from a recreational diver into a professional underwater adventure guide. Are you thinking of starting a new career diving in the far corners of the world? Perhaps you want the challenge, satisfaction, and achievement of being a sought after PADI professional; maybe your aim is being an instructor and sharing your love of diving with others. Whatever your goal, the PADI Divemaster Course will give you the tools to get there.

Full Spectrum Training
Located on the Island of Maui Hawaii in a tropical environment, Lahaina Divers is a PADI Gold Palm Instructor Development Center with two new 46 ft Newton dive boats; a world class retail store and 3 technologically advanced dedicated classrooms.
Our facilities give you the opportunity to experience all aspects of the dive industry such as helping new divers in entry level classes, assisting experienced Instructors in conducting Advanced, Rescue, and Specialty programs, filling cylinders, and even working with and learning from our highly skilled boat crews, working on our dive charters guiding divers at world famous sites like Molokini Crater, and Lanai's Cathedrals. You'll experience it all, and graduate with a well rounded entry level professional skill set; ready for the challenges of Open Water Scuba Instructor training, if that is your goal.

Learn from Master Trainers
Although the PADI Divemaster course can be taught by any PADI Open Water Instructor, our courses are taught by highly experienced PADI Course Directors, Master Instructors, IDC Staff Instructors,, and Master Scuba Diver Trainers. Additionally, 95% of Lahaina Divers Captains and crew members are PADI Open Water Instructors or higher. These seasoned instructors are able to give you the best program available by sharing their experience and techniques that go far beyond those outlined in any standard Divemaster course. During internship, you will also be learning skills from our diverse staff of Instructor/Dive guides, Repair Technicians Boat Captains, and Retail Associates.
