How long does PADI Divemaster training take?

PADI Divemaster training takes 6-12 weeks depending on your starting certification level and chosen program. Our internship program provides unlimited training time with no rushing, while intensive programs are available for experienced divers with limited time.

What is included in the Divemaster training cost?
