SCHEDULE
The duration of the course depends on the experience of the candidate, however generally the course should be done over a minimum of four weeks, or a maximum of twelve weeks.

To be certified as a SSI Divecon or Padi divemaster candidates must have sixty logged dives, so those that enroll with say twenty logged dives need more time on the course for general diving experience as well as enough time to make up the required dives.

Here at Harlequin we offer two different options in terms of duration / payment of the DM course.
OPTION 1 You pay 32,000 baht for course. Course duration/schedule will be taken case by case depending on your preference and experience etc. Total amount of dives not to exceed thirty. SSI Divecon / Padi divemaster application fee not included.
OPTION 2 You do not pay, however you do the course over a minimum of twelve weeks, and you help in and around the diveshop for six days in every week. The course content is the same, but you will receive more valuable experience because you will be spending more time here.
No maximum amount of dives, but we will make sure you have atleast enough dives for certification. Application fee not included.
*** Please check current schedule.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE 2 OPTIONS WE CAN TAILOR MAKE ANY SCHEDULE OR PART PAY / PART HELP OPTION, PLEASE EMAIL FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
