Here at Master Divers, we run a unique Divemaster course structure, which we believe is the most comprehensive training available!

About the Divemaster Course:

Your first week of training is a scheduled Foundation Week, where you will spend time with your Mentor, one of our experienced Divemaster Instructors.

After your course orientation, your dive instructor will take you through your knowledge development, skills training and workshops. All of this knowledge will stand you in good stead for the practical part of your course.

With this essential foundation, you will move on to work with the rest of the team, practising your teaching skills, working on projects, assisting courses and shadowing the Divemaster team.

Your final Closing Week(s) will again be spent with a Divemaster Instructor, where you conduct your final assessments and your instructor will mentor you in your move to becoming a professional.

It is his/her role to ensure that by the end of the course you are ready to go out into the world as a competent, confident Divemaster.

During the Course:

You will learn from instructors with years of experience teaching diving in amazing locations all over the world. The instructors have dived in many different locations and conditions and have immense knowledge of the different challenges involved in guiding beginner and more advanced divers.

Working with these instructors will not only offer you a fantastic knowledge base to learn from but also you will be exposed to different styles of teaching too. Spending time with this level of instructor, will provide you with a head start when gearing up for your PADI Instructor Development Course.

Why Book With Us?

Hi, I’m Nikki. I started this website in 2008 after my first solo backpacking trip to Asia. A trip that changed my life. My vision was to create a travel diary for everyone – a place for all travellers to share their experiences. After living in Southeast Asia for over 10 years, I saw the opportunity to provide backpackers with the kind of experiences that I’d treasured myself in the region.

Today, there is so much choice, but there are a lot of poor-quality tours and companies that offer mediocre experiences with little care for the environment. I wanted to create a selection of the best tried and tested activities to help backpackers avoid scams and unwanted experiences.

Today, I run this website with my partner, Dave, from Spain, where we live with our two young daughters, Eve and baby Rose. All of the bookable activities that you find on this website have been vetted by a member of our team and we have a friendly relationship with the operator. There are real humans behind South East Asia Backpacker and we are passionate about sustainable travel and tourism in Southeast Asia.

We’re committed to helping travellers at every stage of the journey and are happy to answer your questions pre, during and post travels. We understand that plans can change which is why we offer a full refund on the deposit up to 72 hours before the start of your trip, no questions asked. We offer advice on flights, visas, itineraries, hostels, backpacks, packing and more!

If you have any questions about our business or any of the tours that we provide, feel free to contact me on Whatsapp.
