Why not consider taking your Divemaster Course in Kenya? The SSI Divemaster course is the first professional level in the SSI Diver System. When it comes to scuba diving coral reefs, Kenya is up there with the best of them.
The SSI Divemaster course consists of a mix of specialty courses, dive theory, workshops, stamina tests, practical skills assessments, and practical experience.
Ocean Tribe’s dive base in Diani Beach is located on one of the world’s top 10 rated beaches and consistently rated the best in Africa. The palm tree-lined white powder sands run down to azure waters where the fringing coral reefs can be found only 100m off shore.
While we do offer an express package 14-day course which will meet the minimum requirements for becoming a Divemaster it is much better to excel rather than take just the bare minimum. We strive for excellence and want to make you the best Divemaster you can be so prefer the longer option of 1 month.
The SSI Divemaster course is open to Diver Stress & Rescue Divers and above (or equivalent certification) who hold a current first aid and CPR provider certification.
You must meet medical questionnaire requirements. Some conditions or medications may prevent you from diving. You should take the RSTC Diver Medical: Participant Questionnaire to a doctor to have your medical for submission to SSI.
The knowledge development part of the Divemaster course can be completed via SSI Digital eLearning. This includes the Digital Learning for the Dive Guide course, The Science of Diving Specialty Course (Dive Theory) and Computer Diving Specialty Course (Dive Theory).
First up you will sit an Orientation with your allotted SSI Instructor. They will be responsible for supervising your entire course and overseeing your Divemaster course schedule from Day one. They will be your ‘mentor’ and explain the process to you.
You will spend some of the course ‘assisting student divers in training’. Although you will have the opportunity to assist a variety of our Instructors, when possible you will assist your mentor.
We will schedule your training in sequence, building up your diving skills, confidence, and experience step by step. All this whilst you enjoy Diani Beach’s fantastic scuba diving and marine life. These include a wreck, spectacular coral reefs and more.
As you progress through the course you will become more responsible for dive shop activities in the Divemaster role.
