Go from diver to Divemaster to PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, all in just 28 days. It’s fast track, instructor-level dive training done the Broadreach way.
Achievement upon achievement. This unique trek toward becoming a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) piggybacks the 2-week Divemaster program with the 2-week Instructor Development Course. It’s unlike any course of its kind. First we lay the foundation, as PADI Divemaster (DM) candidates live on a catamaran, hopping from St. Martin to the Caribbean islands of St. Barts, Saba and more. Then, we anchor down in St. Martin for two weeks and push our training even further, as we prepare for the instructor examination.
“This trip, along with every other Broadreach trip I have been on was truly fantastic. The staff are great- a good mix of professional and fun. ” — Grace O. from Westport, CT
Perform open water instructor-level rescue skills. Practice search and recover scenarios. Learn site dive site setup and management. Even master a few sailing skills. Once you complete and earn your PADI Divemaster certification, keep the momentum going with the Instructor Development Course.
