RECREATIONAL DIVE MASTER This program is designed to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for an individual to lead certified divers in the open water environment. At the completion of the program, the newly certified Divemaster can assist an active instructor (Any agency instructor with their approval) during approved diving courses provided the activities are similar to the graduate’s prior training.
