At this point an Active Status <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/padi-pro-level\/dive-instructor-course\/\">PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor<\/a>, or higher, will sign your paperwork and send your application to a PADI head office.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #28d4ff;\">Regional PADI Office<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The location of your Divemaster training will determine the PADI office that your paperwork and application is sent to. If you are certified as a PADI Divemaster on Koh Tao, all your paperwork will be processed in Sydney, Australia and your fees will be paid in Australian dollars. The PADI fee can marginally change each year due to inflation, so it is a good idea to check how much it costs ahead of time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5325\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5325\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blackturtledive.com-divemaster-skills-in-neutrally-buoyant-Mask-removal-and-replace.jpeg\" alt=\"PADI IDC Staff Instructor Koh Tao - Youri Koyen\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blackturtledive.com-divemaster-skills-in-neutrally-buoyant-Mask-removal-and-replace.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blackturtledive.com-divemaster-skills-in-neutrally-buoyant-Mask-removal-and-replace-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blackturtledive.com-divemaster-skills-in-neutrally-buoyant-Mask-removal-and-replace-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/blackturtledive.com-divemaster-skills-in-neutrally-buoyant-Mask-removal-and-replace-150x84.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5325\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PADI IDC Staff Instructor Koh Tao &#8211; Youri Koyen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>PADI Annual Membership Fees<\/h3>\n<p>During 2024, the Divemaster PADI fee is 260 AUD, which covers your membership from the moment you are certified, through to the end of the year. It also gives you access to the PADI PRO website, which offers an assortment of helpful tools as a new Dive professional. All of our Divemaster Diving Internship programs include the PADI fee as part of our Divemaster packages.<\/p>\n<h3>Koh Tao PADI Divemaster Packages<\/h3>\n<p>We realize that all the different costs and currencies can be confusing, so we offer comprehensive all-inclusive packages to make the certification process easier for you. Once you have completed your Divemaster Course, we sit down with you and review your PADI membership agreement and show you how to access and utilize the PADI PRO website. We also review the PADI Member License Agreement, which is a document that highlights your obligations as a PADI member.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #28d4ff;\">Active Status PADI Divemaster<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you hope to work as a PADI Divemaster, you need to keep yourself in Active Status. In order to do this, you must pay the annual membership fee and agree to stay up to date with any changes to the PADI standards. This is a very simple process and the PADI PRO website has training bulletins to help keep your status current. The renewal period happens before the 31st of December each year, starting in November. Once you have completed your Divemaster training, you are responsible for the yearly membership fees. If you decide not to renew your annual membership, you will not lose your Divemaster rating, however, you will be listed as Non-Active Status.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1406\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand.jpg\" alt=\"PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty course Koh Tao Thailand\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-padi-sidemount-diver-specialty-course-koh-tao-thailand-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty course Koh Tao Thailand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Enrolment on the PADI Divemaster Course<\/h3>\n<p>One of the key prerequisites for enrolling in the PADI Divemaster course is having a minimum of 40 logged dives. For newer divers, this number can initially seem quite high, but when you are diving regularly\u2014especially in a destination like Koh Tao\u2014it becomes far more achievable than many expect.<\/p>\n<p>Building your dive log is not simply about reaching a number; it is an important stage of your development as a diver. Each dive gives you the opportunity to improve your comfort, confidence, and awareness underwater. Repetition helps turn basic skills into natural habits, allowing you to focus less on yourself and more on your surroundings, your buddy, and the overall dive environment.<\/p>\n<p>Accumulating dives also gives you valuable time to strengthen key concepts introduced during your previous training, such as buoyancy control, trim, air consumption, navigation, communication, and problem-solving underwater. These are the foundations of safe and professional diving, and they become increasingly important as you move toward leadership-level training.<\/p>\n<p>By the time you begin your Divemaster course, you should feel comfortable and confident in the water, ready to shift your focus from being guided as a diver to learning how to guide and support others. The journey to 40 dives is not just a requirement\u2014it is an essential part of preparing yourself for the responsibilities of becoming a dive professional.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #28d4ff;\">Prerequisite Dives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can use these dives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/padi-specialty-courses\/peak-performance-buoyancy\/\">focus on buoyancy<\/a>, fin kicking techniques, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/padi-specialty-courses\/underwater-navigator-diver\/\">navigation<\/a>, DSMB deployment and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/padi-specialty-courses\/fish-identification\/\">marine life identification<\/a>. As an aspiring professional, we believe that you should take advantage of every opportunity you have in the water to help build your confidence before taking your Divemaster course. This is something to consider when calculating all your projected costs in training as some dive centres may charge you per dive to reach 40 dives. Costs can escalate quickly and Black Turtle Dive offers a choice of pricing options, including comprehensive packages that include all dives necessary to begin your training.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1324\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Scuba Diving Insurance for Koh Tao\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-travel-and-dive-insurance-450x300.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scuba Diving Insurance for Koh Tao<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>PADI Divemaster &amp; Diving Insurance<\/h3>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/blog\/how-to-get-your-kids-and-family-into-scuba-diving\/\">scuba diving is an extremely safe activity<\/a>, there are risks to be considered. While most pressure related injuries can be avoided by following safe diving practices, there is always a small chance that something can go wrong, even something simple like a minor ear infection. All scuba divers should have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/about-us\/dive-insurance\/\">diving insurance<\/a>, as medical care for diving related illnesses can be expensive. This is even more important for professional level divers, even though knowledge and training can help reduce the risk of an accident, it does not mean you are immune to one.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #28d4ff;\">DiveAssist Scuba Diving Insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most insurance companies that provide insurance cover for scuba diving will offer a yearly package for dive professionals. Packages usually start at around 3000-5000 baht depending on the amount of coverage required and some packages will only cover evacuation and hyperbaric treatment, while others will cover any injury related to diving. Our Divemaster package includes a one-year membership with DiveAssist. DiveAssist membership Insurance Solutions deliver Diving Accident &amp; Liability Insurance across the world with membership plans for sport divers, Divemaster and Dive Instructors. The insurance plan we include as part of our Divemaster packages is worth 5000 baht and will be activated as soon as you start your training.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1258\" style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao.jpg\" alt=\"Accommodation Koh Tao for Scuba Diving Courses\" width=\"1100\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/blackturtledive.com-accommodation-on-koh-tao-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Accommodation Koh Tao for Scuba Diving Courses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>PADI Divemaster Course Extra Living Costs<\/h3>\n<p>When budgeting for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefunkyturtle.com\/diving-courses\/divemaster-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Divemaster course<\/a>, you should consider a few extra living costs whilst planning ahead, so there are no hidden surprises:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accommodation<\/li>\n<li>Travel<\/li>\n<li>Food and drink<\/li>\n<li>Entertainment (gym membership, yoga classes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefunkyturtle.com\/lifestyle\/activities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lifestyle and activities<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Transport (scooter rental, taxi or bicycle rental)<\/li>\n<li>Emergencies<\/li>\n<li>Additional diver training, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackturtledive.com\/padi-specialty-courses\/\">specialty courses<\/a> and equipment<\/li>\n<li>Telephone, internet, computer and accessories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to calculate these extra costs into your overall budget to determine a more accurate figure and then you can estimate a monthly living budget from the total.
