We offer a number of specialty diving courses, which will give you a thorough knowledge of your chosen field of diving. Choose from Nitrox, Deep Diver, Underwater Naturalist, Underwater Navigator, Multi-Level Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Photography and more. Each course has a varying number of dives that can be completed over one or a number of days. Training consists of some classroom discussions, thorough pre-dive briefings and training dives supervised by a PADI Instructor. Once you have successfully completed your Rescue Diver course and five specialty courses, you will qualify to become a Master Scuba Diver, the highest non-professional level of diving.

 

Who should consider this rating?

Join the best of the best in recreational scuba diving and live the dive life as a PADI Master Scuba Diver. The Master Scuba Diver rating places you in an elite group of respected divers who have earned this rating through both significant experience and scuba training. Fewer than two percent of divers ever achieve this rating. When you flash your Master Scuba Diver card, people know that you’ve spent time underwater in a variety of environments and had your share of dive adventures.

Every diver, who is at least 12 years old, should aim for Master Scuba Diver.

The path starts with earning a PADI Open Water Diver certification, followed by PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and PADI Rescue Diver (or qualifying certifications). You also need to earn five PADI Specialty Diver certifications and have logged a minimum of 50 dives.
