Mahahual is situated at the southern tip of the Mexican Caribbean and has escaped a lot of the development going on elsewhere in the Riviera Maya. With unspoiled mangroves just a few meters from the beach, the waters there offer a multitude of underwater biodiversity and impressive reefs.

The experienced staff at Takata Experience will ensure you get the most from your course.  Being involved in dive shop activities, you will develop your dive skills and gain confidence as a dive professional. Takata is also a busy Research Center and during your training (3-6 weeks) you will have the opportunity to interact with their programs, volunteer in community activities and use your time in Mahahual to gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing our ocean world.

There’s also the option to extend your stay and complete their Coastal Ecology Program or Reef Monitoring Program alongside your Divemaster course.  As part of these programs you will join the research teams and gain invaluable knowledge and experience with their team of scientists

We’re super happy to join forces with Javi & Monica at Blue Magic Scuba for Divemaster programs.  Now a protected Marine Reserve, Cozumel is famous for drift diving, lush walls and colorful corals. Spotted eagle rays, lobsters and nurse sharks are common creatures to be spotted on dives.

If you take the Reef-Pro Divemaster Program you will be based in a busy dive centre with their own boats and you’ll spend 4 weeks getting real hands-on experience in what it takes to be a successful dive professional. You’ll gain dive knowledge, management and supervision abilities so you become a role model to divers everywhere.  The program includes free accommodation and of course diving in some of the best locations on the planet!

Huatulco is not as well known as the Riviera Maya and Cozumel but is a rising star of Pacific coast diving locations.  Situated in Oaxaca state with its rich culture and history, the bays of Huatulco are home to over 30 dive sites.  Marine life and dive sites are varied.  There’s plenty of interest for the macro-lover, as well as eagle rays, puffer fish, and even migrating whales if you are lucky!

You will be training at a busy PADI IDC dive center, Huatulco Dive Center, with experienced instructors and will receive the training and experience to turn you into a perfectly prepared Divemaster ready to start your dive career.

You will also get the opportunity to learn things like tank filling, customer care and equipment maintenance, for a complete training package.  Shared accommodation is also included.

Our Divemaster program is suited to those looking to fit their Divemaster training around work or other commitments.  Not being a full time/resort program, you will get to experience how a smaller dive operation in the Riviera Maya works. 

Under the mentorship of our Course Directors and Master Instructor, you will get to experience assisting courses; guided dives; ocean; cenotes and Cozumel trips.

You will be able to complete most of the knowledge development portion of the course via eLearning at a time that suits you, so that more time with us is in the water.

From June 2024, we will also be offering full-time Divemaster courses from our purpose-built dive center in Playa del Carmen, and can offer on-site accommodation too!
