Availability: In Stock
The Water Skills Assessment verifies that a PADI Divemaster Candidate is physically fit to perform the duties of a divemaster. The course also verifies that each candidate has professional-level rescue and diving skills, which are prerequisites for the program. Candidates should understand that this course does not teach rescue or diving skills. Those skills should be in place before entering the Divemaster program. This course merely verifies that the candidate has the skills needed for participation in the rest of the program.
If you are not ready for the Water Skills Assessment, consider registering for the Rescue Diver ReActivate course before attending the Water Skills Assessment.
