I did my training with BLUE SEASON BALI in Indonesia and i did my Divemaster in 8 weeks and IDC over a month and then completed an MSDT Internship with them where i learnt how to properly teach all sorts of courses under the guidance of experienced PADI Instructors working there.


I would reccmomend them to anyone!

I have held or do hold the equivalent certification of Instructor Trainer or above in five different agencies but I have never been certified as a Dive Master.
 
I'm glad they have revamped the PADI DM program, I think the bar needed to be a little higher if someone is going to be called a 'master' at something. The minimum dive requirement on the original program was a little scary to me. I took my time going through the PADI program (years ago on the old program) and had a wonderful instructor. Went right into AI after that so both together took me several months to complete (doing nights and weekends). Rescue and DM are two courses that I hate to see shops try and rush people through.
 
Night Of The Living Thread.

Seeing as the OP posted the original question seven years ago - and is now an instructor - I'm assuming he got his answer.

:cool2:
 
I'm in the PADI DM program right now and don't expect to finish until next summer. I'm in no hurry unlike the other students my instructor has. I actually started the program before I had finished my SSI AOW and only did it because my instructor said I was a perfect candidate and wanted to work with me. I figured it would be good training and knew that I would have more than 100 dives by the time I was finished.

I've actually just did my 51st dive last weekend and earned my SSI Master Diver certification. Making progress, learning, and having a good time diving. I only get to dive about every six to eight weeks, so I know it will take time. I'm in no hurry.
