Divemaster and Instructor Training in Peoria 

Divemaster Program

Have you ever wanted to assist with dive classes, work on a dive boat, or in a dive resort, or possibly even teach scuba? Or maybe you're interested in simply advancing your skills and knowledge to a level beyond the average recreational diver. If so, your first step in achieving these goals is to enroll in Do Dive In's PADI or NAUI Divemaster program. This course will develop and expand your diving skills and knowledge to that of an instructor and will also develop your diving management and supervision skills.

All Divemaster classes are not the same. At Do Dive In we take great pride in knowing that we offer the BEST Divemaster class. All of our Divemaster candidates go through an extensive internship program where they assist in teaching actual Open Water and continuing education classes, real world experience in real world conditions.

Divemaster training is an important prerequisite to further training and certification as a PADI or NAUI Assistant Instructor or Instructor. Our program is highly individualized. It can start whenever you are ready and take place on a schedule that meets your individual needs.

If all you're looking for is a Divemaster card, go anywhere. But if you're serious about the quality of your training, there is only one choice, Do Dive In. For additional information, contact us.
