IDA/CMAS Diveguide

It is important for any dive centre to have responsible divers who can organise and lead dives and dive trips. This is why this professional status was created. It is the beginning of a professional career. The IDA Diveguide is comparable to a Divemaster in the PADI-system.

Why don’t you take a holiday in Cyprus and broaden your education, individually and purposefully.

Course price 699 Euro

The role of the IDA Dive Guide is to provide divers with exciting and safe dives and to improve their knowledge and skills through experience. The Dive Guide should also make „his“ divers aware of the need to plan and conduct dives safely in order to avoid problems and incidents.

Within the CMAS family, IDA plays an important and leading role in the training of dive professionals. The IDA Diveguide Programme offers an easy entry into this professional diving career, while being very flexible and exclusively designed for practical application. Of course, it still includes a lot of background information that a professional dive guide needs in practice.

Your practical diver training includes:

• Guiding certified divers
• Guiding novice divers during an OWD course
• Making a dive site map
• Emergency plan and map
• Rescue scenarios

The training duration is entirely up to you, depending on how much time you want to spend each day, but at least 5 diving days.
