PADI Divemaster Course Instructor Guide

Description

The PADI Divemaster Course Instructor Guide has five sections that guide you through the conduct of this course. While it's appropriate for PADI Divemasters and Assistant Instructors to use this guide, it speaks to PADI Instructors.

Section One provides the goals of the PADI Divemaster course and PADI Divemaster duties.

Section Two identifies the general standards that apply throughout the program, required sequencing, materials and ideas for scheduling.

Section Three covers the Knowledge Development Module. It lists the standards for required knowledge development and related activities, and provides 12 Knowledge Development Topic presentation outlines. This section also identifies which topics may be handled effectively through independent study, and which will usually require more formal class sessions.

Section Four covers the Waterskills and Stamina Module. This section lists the performance requirements and conduct for confined water training.

Section Five, Practical Application, is divided into four subsections. The first details the practical application standards and the second covers performance requirements and conduct for the three Required Training Exercises. The third subsection provides the standards and requirements for candidates who will complete the Divemaster Internship, and the fourth provides the standards and conduct for candidates who will complete the Practical Training Exercises.
