All of the following courses require equipment / dive kit hire, which is included in the course pricing.
We here at Scubajive prefer to spend a few minutes with you, the client / diver to ensure the best possible fit from our selection of school kit, from fins and boots on up to the wetsuit (many sizes and thicknesses) depending on the time of year (from a shortie to a full 7mm suit). We have found this is the best approach rather than guessing for fitting. A comfy diver is a happy diver.

Either way the PADI Divemaster Course will really 'open your eyes'. This course will qualify you to Professional Diver Status.
As a PADI Divemaster, amongst other things, you will be able to assist Instructors with training student divers and supervise diving activities for certified divers.
This course can be run as an Internship, or as a regular course. The internship is generally the favoured method of training, as on completion of the course you will already have amassed much experience and knowledge whilst assisting, and participated in day to day diving events. (See 'GO PRO' below).
