PADI Divemaster Course

PADI DIVEMASTER COURSE

“I took PADI Divemaster course and Deep Diving specialty with Amed White Sand Divers. Everything was much more than I expected. Pierre is an excellent teacher, who makes sure that I get everything (and more) to be a divemaster and deep diver; safety first, which can accomplish with good knowledge of theory and with many other different skills. With my deepest thanks to Pierre!
And the “crew” of Dive Center! I think my words are not enough to tell how helpful and warmhearted the team there is! I felt like I was one of the big warm family – I also got to know more about beautiful culture of Bali (I`m from Finland, so the culture is very different from ours).
I already miss the whole team!
So, I had one of the most rewarding month of my life with White Sand Divers and I learned so much of scuba diving, marine life, teaching and Balinese culture, that I feel so privileged!
I highly recommend this team and place – what ever you want to do or accomplish in scuba diving!”

“I had an amazing experience completing my PADI divemaster course and certification with Amed White Sand Divers over the course of 4 weeks. I am from the US and was originally planning on taking the course in Cairns, Australia; however, I found the operation there impersonal and focused on using trainees for scut work. In contrast, the training at AWSD was super high-quality, very reasonably priced, and a true pleasure. I was so happy I pivoted to Bali! I looked into several dive shops around Bali, and Pierre from AWSD was super quick to respond and hop on a call with me to discuss the course and logistics. After talking with him, I knew I would be in great hands and have an experience focused on my learning and skill improvement. I love that the shop is Balinese owned by Sasa—he’s fantastic—and most of the instructors and guides are locals. Pierre was my primary instructor: he’s very experienced and is a tec diver as well, so he had a ton of knowledge. He was always super supportive, and he also pushed me to work hard to refine and practice my knowledge and craft. I found this combination of high standards and encouragement to be ideal. He didn’t just want me to get through the course, he wanted to teach me to become a true professional. I frequently accompanied and assisted some of the other great guides and instructors, including Brong, Kadek, Rauh, and Sunir. I learned from all of them, and it was awesome being able to hone my skills by assisting with real clients and students. In addition to doing the course requirements, I got in a ton of dives, asked to learn about the business and things like repairing gear and filling cylinders, and really enjoyed getting to spend time with both the locals and visitors in Amed. 11/10, no notes, absolutely dive with AWSD. I hope to come back soon.”
