Step into the first rung of professional diving in South Ari Atoll, where you will guide and assist on real dives across whale-shark-rich waters of the Maamigili marine protected area. The PADI Divemaster program here turns you into a confident dive leader on the atoll's busy channel dives and manta cleaning stations.
PADI Divemaster uses PADI eLearning and the digital Divemaster manual, issues a PADI professional membership and card, and folds in Project AWARE conservation principles.
Training runs on South Ari's signature kandu (channel) drifts and reef thilas, where currents push grey reef sharks, eagle rays and big schools of fusiliers along the wall. House-reef and lagoon sites at 5-18m give a controlled space for skill demonstration before you guide guests out toward the whale-shark zone.
