Divemaster Course Equipment Requirements

During the Divemaster Course, and for use once you become a PADI Professional, Divemaster Candidates are expected to have their own full set of equipment.

Having your own equipment during training allows you to become familiar with it and will make your training and diving easier and more comfortable.

If you already have your own equipment and are not sure what to bring then bring everything you have.

If you tend to feel the cold then make sure you bring a full length 3-5mm wetsuit, particularly if you are taking the Divemaster course during the cooler months.

During your Divemaster Course Divemaster Trainees must have:

fins, mask, snorkel, buoyancy control device with low pressure inflator, regulator, alternate air source, submersible pressure gauge, weight system, appropriate exposure protection, timing device, depth gauge, compass, knife / diver’s tool, slate, dive table and two surface signaling devices – one audible (whistle, air horn, etc.) and one visual (inflatable surface tube, flare, signal mirror, etc.).

The Dive Academy will provide tanks, weights and weight belts for the duration of the Divemaster Course.

If there is any item of equipment you don’t have you can buy it from The Dive Academy and you will get 10% discount on anything you buy.


If you need to buy a full set of equipment we will give you advice and recommendations about what you need and what is the best option for you. As well as our honest, invaluable advice you will also receive 15% discount.
