Why learn with Aquanaut?

At Aquanaut this course is completed on an internship basis. This means you work alongside our team of instructors, working with real students and you can progress at your own pace depending on your available time.

As we are a PADI 5* Instructor Developent Centre, you will work with and be mentored by senior instructors (including our in-house Course Director James Wilkinson). This approach not only gets you the best out of the Junior DM course, but sets you up ready to become a full divemaster once you turn 18 and embark on the instructor training program.

We are not about achieving the minimum to tick a box, we work with you to be the best you can be.

About the Course 

Mentored by one of our Staff Instructors, throughout the course you will gain knowledge and role model techniques that will set you on the road to becoming a true dive professional.
