PADI DSD Leader

Upgrading from PADI Divemaster to PADI Discover Scuba Diving Leader

  • 325 British pounds
  • Isle of Arran

Service Description

Upgrade your PADI Divemaster rating to Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) Leader and get qualified to teach the PADI DSD sessions without an instructor in confined environments. During your DSD Leader internship you'll conduct four separate real (not simulated) PADI Discover Scuba Diving programs in confined water under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor. PADI DSD Leader interns must show their ability to conduct effective briefings, in-water supervision, exemplary demonstration skills and debriefings with non-certified divers. Through direct feedback and knowledge assessment we'll ensure you're setup for success come the end of your internship. DSD Leaders are highly sought in dive resort locations across the world and every DM should aim to complete this upgrade or consider moving up to AI/OWSI. As all our dives are conducted in the sea you must hold the PADI Drysuit diver certification prior to your internship starting. If you don't already have this then we can do this in a day. Our internship includes: - 1 x DM skills review session and practice DSD - 1 x DSD Session Knowledge Development Session - DSD Leader Knowledge Assessment - 4 x Real DSD Sessions (minimum) - Direct coaching from our PADI MSDT Excluded: - Air fills and kit (available for hire) You must be able to commute to or live on the Isle of Arran for this internship due to the time scale of guaranteeing live DSD's across the season. Please email us first before booking.
