Course overview

The SSI Divemaster programme on Bali's Tulamben and Amed coast turns you into a working dive professional amid the island's signature black-sand shore dives and the coral-encrusted USAT Liberty. You log real guiding experience leading certified divers over the volcanic Drop Off and through the macro-rich muck of Seraya. With small ratios the norm here, you get genuine hands-on time supervising divers and supporting courses.
