Becoming a Divemaster is about more than ticking boxes in a training manual. It’s about stepping up to a leadership role in the dive industry. But what extra skills do you need as a Divemaster? At Ocean Tribe in Diani Beach, Kenya, our Divemaster course goes beyond the minimum agency requirements. We prepare you with essential real-world skills that make you employable and confident in any dive centre worldwide.
Success in this role isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about attitude. The most accomplished Divemasters show initiative, attention to detail, and a constant desire to learn. Treat your Divemaster training like higher education. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
We teach you how to read tank labels, manufacturing dates, working pressure ratings, and service intervals. Knowing how to inspect a tank before filling or diving with it is essential for safety and professionalism.
You’ll get hands-on experience with the compressor system, learning to safely fill cylinders with air.
Ocean Tribe uses Geek Divers and Roverd to handle and manage bookings. You’ll learn how to take reservations, confirm bookings, and manage guest schedules efficiently.
We show you how to handle card payments, mobile money, and dive package invoicing. It’s important to be trusted at the front desk as well as underwater.
You’ll learn how to diagnose common regulator and tank valve problems like free flows and leaks. Simple fixes can save dives and impress guests with your quick thinking.
Broken or bitten-through mouthpieces are common. You’ll practice removing the old one, fitting a new one, and securing it with a cable tie—all within minutes.
Low-Pressure Inflators sometimes stick or leak. We’ll teach you how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble them so your guests never miss a dive due to gear failure.
Every Divemaster should know how to deliver emergency O₂. You’ll learn how to assemble the kit, operate the regulator, and administer oxygen correctly in case of incidents.
Whether it’s Suunto, Mares, Cressi, or Aqualung, every rental computer is slightly different. We’ll train you on how to explain modes, reset dives, and troubleshoot basic issues.
A missing or damaged O-ring can cancel a dive. You’ll learn to identify worn O-rings and replace them on both yoke and DIN systems without needing tools.
Ownership isn’t enough—you need to understand how to care for your equipment. We’ll show you how to rinse, inspect, store, and maintain your kit like a pro.
You’re responsible for the safety and function of rental gear. You’ll develop routines for post-dive cleaning, storage, and equipment rotation.
We train you to answer questions over the phone or face-to-face in a professional and approachable manner. Guests trust you—your clarity builds their confidence.
You’ll track how tides and wind affect local dive conditions and boat operations. You’ll also learn how to forecast whether a dive site will be safe and fun—or should be avoided.
If your dive centre sells masks, fins, and wetsuits, you’ll learn how to explain the features of each product and help guests choose wisely.
We’ll teach you how to structure a proper dive briefing—from entry to exit, max depth, air limits, buddy system, and marine life. You’ll also get coaching on delivery style and clarity.
Over-weighting guests can ruin dives. You’ll practice giving weight estimates based on body type, wetsuit thickness, and tank size, refining this vital skill over time.
Guests need to know how their BCD works, how to use their dive computer, and how to adjust their mask. You’ll become fluent in gear orientation.
You’ll learn to provide real-time updates on visibility, currents, thermoclines, and marine life sightings so guests can prepare accordingly.
We encourage you to stay up-to-date with dive magazines, blogs, gear updates, and conservation efforts. Being informed helps you engage better with both guests and staff.
When guests ask about diving in Maldives, Indonesia, or the Red Sea, it helps to have a knowledgeable answer. We encourage curiosity and research.
If someone wants to do deep dives or pursue underwater photography, your advice should reflect their goals. We train you to offer tailored recommendations.
Every dive shop has a voice, tone, and personality. We help you understand Ocean Tribe’s brand so you reflect our values in everything you say and do.
At Ocean Tribe, we don’t believe in doing the bare minimum. Our Divemaster course prepares you for real challenges, both underwater and above. Whether you want to work in Kenya, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, or beyond, these extra skills give you the edge.
