scuberd , I'm curious what agency? I know padi's required's are higher for dm.
OP
its the program at UCSC, and NAUI
PADI requires 20 dives to begin DM training, 60 to complete certification.
NAUI requires 25 dives (or NAUI AI Certification - preferred) to begin DM training, 10 additional dives are required to complete certification.

Congratulations Scuberd,
Hope you had a great time. What I'm curious about is how your trip went. How about giving us a trip report. I for one would really like to know especially since I will be there in about 10 days.

way to go scuberd, enjoy the next 50, Dive hard but always safe.
Don't rush it, get the experience.. Remember DM is a professional rating, and you'll be responsible for others.. If you are around other divers and someone has a problem you may be required to act.. and you may get sued...
My last DM did probably 50 dives during his internship, my current DM candidate probably has about 30 so far... (not uncluding personal dives). I require my DMs to participate in several OW, AOW and rescue classes, Map making, and general supervision prior to signing them off..
