Since 2006, Tokyo European Divers shared actively its passion for diving among the foreign community in Tokyo, organized diving trips and events, trained divers and instructors, shared its best diving sports, provided its best B-series movies, continiously deliver french humour and acccent.

 It's been a lot of fun ! And very gratifying to gather people of different origins under the common passion of diving. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the organization on surface and under water up to now !

 2013 will be an opportunity to step-up and face new challenges.

From June, Tokyo European Divers will cease to operate as a diving association, and move to commercial status. A stronguer focus will be made on divers and instructor trainings.

Also, we developped partnerships with local shops and facilities to be able  to provide appropriate logistic for fun diving tours and trainings.

TED will continue to provide fun tours, PADI and CMAS courses up to instructor level and also introduce french certifications (more emphasis on decompression procedures and deep dives).  

More details coming soon on www.tokyodivers.com (or tokyoeuropeandivers.com)

Thanks again for your support and participation.

DIVEMASTER ?

A Divemaster is a diving qualification used throughout most of the world in scuba diving for a diver who has overall responsibility for a group of divers. As well as being a generic term, Divemaster also refers to the lowest professional rating of many training agencies which rates the Divemaster just under an Instructor but above an Assistant Instructor.

The role of a Divemaster encompass the following roles:

▪  Organizing, conducting and supervising recreational diving activities (but not training), both land and boat based.

▪  Assisting instructors in conducting training programs and activities for certified divers.

▪  Generally supervising non-training related diving activities by planning, organizing and directing dives.

▪  Supervise participants in experience programs for uncertified divers.

▪  Teach and certifying skin divers and snorkelers.

▪   Conduct scuba review programs for certified divers.

Training

During Divemaster training, candidates learn dive leadership skills through both classroom and independent study. They complete water skills and stamina exercises, as well as training exercises that stretch their ability to organize and solve problems as well as help others to improve their abilities.

Candidates put this knowledge into action through our structured internship or a series of practical training exercises and workshops.

▪   Advanced Open Water Diver Course (or qualifying certification from another training organization)

▪   Rescue Diver Course (or qualifying certification from another training organization)
