DIVEMASTER: The PADI / Ocean Explorers Divemaster program could be one of the most satisfying courses you may ever take.  We provide one of the most comprehensive programs available where you will develop the leadership, dive safety and control skills plus the dive theory and First Aid knowledge necessary to become a diving professional.  If you have an interest in being a dive leader rather than a follower you MUST enroll in this program.  The Ocean Explorers Divemaster course is an internship program.  You will assist our Instructors in all phases of teaching our recreational classes.  Prerequisites include being 18 years of age, have at least 20 logged dives and the PADI Rescue Diver rating.  Upon course completion you will be a member of PADI, the largest diver training organization in the world, and will enjoy many exciting career opportunities.  This course is a prerequisite for the PADI Assistant Instructor or Instructor Development course.

ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR: This program will show you the techniques used to put together lesson plans and become more comfortable with using the complete PADI educational system.  Assistant Instructor candidates will actually give  class presentations to at least one PADI Open Water, Advanced Open Water and Rescue course and will provide the basis for being able to provide relaxed presentations in the future. As a PADI Assistant Instructor you will enjoy even more career opportunities than a Divemaster including teaching the Peak Performance Buoyancy and Project AWARE specialties.  With a little additional training you may become a PADI Emergency First Response Instructor and a PADI Specialty Instructor for non-diving specialties.  This is also an excellent course for anyone with the ambition to become a PADI Instructor.  Course Prerequisites include being 18 years of age and having at least 60 logged dives.

 

INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT COURSE: The PADI / Ocean Explorers Instructor course will prepare you for a new life.  If you enjoy diving and dive travel why not consider making a career out of it?  PADI is the largest and most innovative training organization in the world and the PADI Instructor Development Course is the finest program of its kind in the dive industry.  Ocean Explorers is a PADI Instructor Development center with a full time Course Director who can make it all happen for you.  If you want to be one of the best then you should train with the best.  We  have been training Instructors for over ten years and have one of the most successful programs available today.  You can continue your Instructor education with us and train for Specialty Instructor ratings such as Wreck, Nitrox, the new Deep Tec programs and many more. Group and private sessions are available.
