\n

\n
If you love diving and want to share your passion with others, if you are looking for an exciting career or to travel Planet Ocean with a professional credential under your belt, a\u00a0RAID Divemaster<\/b>\u00a0course is for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is required to talk with your\u00a0RAID Instructor<\/b>\u00a0or Dive Centre to get the full details of the requirements and prerequisites for this course.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The following is an indication of the requirements to become a\u00a0RAID Divemaster<\/b>. You must first complete as a minimum the following\u00a0RAID<\/strong>\u00a0courses (this information does not cover everything):<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

  • <\/i>Open Water 20<\/span><\/li>\n

    We also highly recommend you complete at least two other specialty ratings that will help build on your professional standing, such as those that may be useful and unique to your area of employment (e.g. Wreck Diver if your local region has a wreck site or Night and limited visibility Diver if there is a popular night dive in your vicinity).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    You will require a minimum of 25 hours logged in-water experience and 60 logged dives in open water to become a\u00a0RAID\u00a0<\/b>Divemaster. We feel this is essential to set you up for completing the course and to take on the necessary responsibilities that come with a professional level qualification. You will also need to have a diving medical less than 12 months old, that is signed-off on by a licensed medical practitioner.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Note that at\u00a0RAID<\/b>, we require a higher standard of training than most other diver training agencies at all levels. It is not that the\u00a0RAID<\/b>\u00a0training is more difficult, it is just more comprehensive, and therefore we believe that we typically train better divers. If you have undertaken training from another training agency we do recognise this training; however in most instances, you will find you need to do some additional training prior to starting with\u00a0RAID<\/b>, especially if you have only fulfilled the minimum requirements required by most other agencies. For example, you will be required to provide documented evidence of at least 5 hours of diving to more than 27 meters \/ 90 feet and have been trained to 40 meters \/ 130 feet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Also, at\u00a0RAID<\/b>, we do not feel good buoyancy control should be part of a specialty diver certification. If you have come through the\u00a0RAID\u00a0<\/b>system, you would have been taught to hover in the horizontal diver position. If not, there will be a workshop provided to train you in this vital buoyancy skill.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Take a look at the exceptional buoyancy control\u00a0RAID\u00a0<\/b>International Training Director, Paul Toomer demonstrates is possible for all divers while doing through a RAID Technical Diver skill circuit drill in shallow water.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Course Content<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    The\u00a0RAID Divemaster\u00a0<\/b>course teaches you above all to be a leader among your peers and other divers generally. You will have the ability to lead and control dives, act as a safety and rescue person on organised dives, assist\u00a0RAID Instructors<\/b>\u00a0in training and generally be in charge of organised dive activities.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Through a combination of our cutting edge online training and interaction with your\u00a0RAID<\/b>\u00a0Instructor, your diving knowledge will be honed to a very high level, preparing you to look after others. This will ultimately prepare you for\u00a0RAID<\/b>\u00a0Instructor training.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Your in-water skills will be refined to demonstration quality for dive students. You will also be prepared to support\u00a0RAID<\/b>\u00a0Instructors during other practical parts of\u00a0RAID<\/b>\u00a0training courses, including being trained to assess dive conditions and potential risks at dive sites.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
