Divemaster Bundle (Pro Class)

The Divemaster Bundle at PTC runs $600 and covers the Dive Guide and Science of Diving courses required to qualify for the SSI Divemaster rating. It's the first step in the professional track and the prerequisite for Assistant Instructor.

PTC schedules Divemaster and ITC cohorts three times per year — January, June, and September — with each block running approximately 6 days. That compressed format suits candidates who can commit to a full week rather than spreading training over months.

The professional track is explicitly GI Bill® eligible here, which is one of PTC's distinguishing angles. Veterans can move from Open Water through Divemaster and into the Instructor Training Course using reimbursement benefits, and SSI's global job locator tool becomes accessible upon reaching professional status.

PTC also donates toward gear for the Soldier Recovery Unit diving program, so the veteran focus runs beyond just administrative paperwork — it's part of how the center operates in the local community.
