Description

Objective:

The course objective is to engage and motivate interested youth, ages 15-17 until they are old enough to become PADI Divemasters. A PADI Junior Divemaster candidate completes portions of the Divemaster course with some modifications to performance requirements. Certified Junior Divemasters are not PADI Members and may not act as certified assistants or supervise divers. They can assist PADI Professionals with many dive management duties and become great diving ambassadors. Keeping Junior Divemasters engaged will continue to build their leadership and dive skills until they meet the age prerequisite for enrolling in a PADI Divemaster course. Note that adults may choose to take the course because they are not ready to commit, or cannot complete, the full Divemaster course.

Learning Outcomes:

Demonstrate the knowledge, attitudes, judgment and skills required for dive site setup and management and beach master duties.
Demonstrate the knowledge, attitudes, judgment and skills for dive class setup and organization.
Demonstrate skills with a PADI Professional when the skill requires a buddy (such as alternate air source use).
Demonstrate a role model dive site briefing under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional.
Demonstrate the ability to give “benefits of learning to dive,” environmental and promotional presentations to various groups in the community, including, dive centers and resorts.
