Become a Divemaster - Lead, guide, inspire!
The PADI Divemaster course is the first step toward a professional diving career. It prepares you to supervise certified divers, assist instructors during training, and become a true leader underwater.
At Pimp My Dive, we provide a dynamic learning environment with individualized support, hands-on sessions at sea, and guidance from a multilingual and experienced team. You’ll learn how to guide dives, deliver briefings, map dive sites, manage safety, and develop both your technical and interpersonal skills.
Ideal for those who want to make a living from their passion, or simply take a step forward in their career, this program will open the doors to the professional world of diving, in an exceptional setting.
PADI Instructor Training - Share your passion!
The IDC (Instructor Development Course) is the final step before becoming a certified PADI Instructor. This program prepares you to teach diving at all levels — from Discover Scuba Diving to Divemaster — with a comprehensive and structured approach.
At Pimp My Dive, our team trains you in a professional yet friendly environment, with a highly experienced Course Director and personalized support. You’ll develop your teaching skills, learn how to manage a class, organize confined and open water sessions, and share your knowledge with clarity and confidence.
The training includes the Assistant Instructor and OWSI (Open Water Scuba Instructor) components, and concludes with the Instructor Examination (IE), evaluated by an official PADI examiner. Once certified, you’ll be able to teach anywhere in the world, share your passion, and inspire new divers every day.
