Pricing Considerations
Island Divers is aware that costs for tuition seems higher than most Hawaii Dive shops. However, free unlimited boat diving during your scuba diving course is the difference between us and the other Hawaii dive shops on Oahu. The quality of the program is simply higher at Island Divers. We provide more hands on training with real certified divers than any other dive shop on Oahu. We will assist you in becoming a real, not a “textbook” divemaster. You will be working directly with full time professional dive instructors. You will learn how to plan, lead, brief and conduct dive trips, and be able to handle less experienced certified divers everyday problems without thinking twice by the end of your scuba diving training. If you want the real thing, here it is. Just come to the dive shops Oahu one day, you’ll see at least 3, and up to 5 dive trips, depart from the Hawaii dive shop in a single day. If you really want to be a scuba certified professional, this is the place to learn.
How It Works 
We provide free boat dives during your training towards a Divemaster PADI Scuba certification. This is a significant perk and a smart reason to choose Island Divers Hawaii for your Divemaster training. Our goal is to turn out Divemasters that are fully capable of leading these same Oahu scuba diving tours by the end of the scuba diving training course. To that end, you will be fully involved in all aspects of learning how to plan, brief, safely execute, and conclude a daily boat charter. You have flexibility to pursue your own scuba dive training times within the one month free boat access period.
If you are only available on weekends, the period of no cost diving may be extended to two months.
Time Commitment
You have complete flexibility to pursue your own divemaster training times within the one month free boat access period. We send out five boat charters daily, and have group OW classes every week. Additionally, there are daily Discovers Scuba Diving participants. Semi private open water courses with real students and clients are abundant. Pool based skill assessments, assisting with OW students in the pool, rescue scuba diving training, and swim tests will be coordinated with your professional mentor. You will work directly with him/her for many aspects of your training, but you will be assigned to work with multiple instructors during your training so that you are exposed to different styles of scuba diving training and supervisory techniques. Please understand that you will get out of this program what you put into it. Just meeting the minimum requirements will require some dedication on your part. If that is your goal, your mentor will assist you in the fastest road to completion. But for the best experience, completely immerse yourself into our scuba diving operation. You will have considerable experience in a number of facets of the scuba diving industry upon completion of your professional training.
