It is possible. Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program.

 

This course teaches you the skills and knowledge necessary to make the transition. As a PADI Divemaster you will be able to lead certified divers, assist instructors with students, conduct scuba refresher courses, or work on dive boats anywhere in the world.
