A new level

Your pro diving adventure kicks off here! Step aboard your floating home in Anse Marcel and settle in with your crew as you begin the first stage of Divemaster training. Jump into confined water circuits, dive theory, and the basics of leadership while working alongside your teammates. Through knowledge development and hands-on practice, you’ll start building the skills and confidence that will carry you through the rest of your journey.


 

Day 5-8

Set sail

With your foundation in place, it’s time to head to St. Barts for the next chapter of training. Refine your skills with navigation practice, underwater mapping, diver safety, and risk management. Between dives, explore the island’s French-Caribbean charm—shop the cobblestone streets, enjoy a bite in paradise, and unwind at a body-surfing beach. Hard work and good fun go hand in hand here.

The untouched waters of Saba set the stage for your leadership training. Here, you’ll practice taking charge of dive activities by running briefings, scouting and mapping sites, managing logistics, and leading search and recovery operations. With its dramatic underwater terrain and thriving marine park, Saba offers both a challenge and an unforgettable backdrop as you step into your role as a dive leader.
