What Does It Mean To Be a Master Scuba Diver?

Some people define success by their job title, where they live, or what they drive, but that type of success isn’t for everyone. Becoming a PADI Master Scuba Diver™ is for those with a passion for exploration who value experiences more than things.

What Are the Requirements To Be a Master Scuba Diver?

This is an elite rating, true, but becoming a Master Scuba Diver is as much about the journey as the destination. The road to Master Scuba Diver includes:

• Open Water Diver
• Advanced Open Water Diver
• Rescue Diver
• 5 PADI Specialties
• 50 Logged Dives

The Master Scuba Diver Rating is Customizable

Because five PADI Specialty Diver courses are required for the Master Scuba Diver rating and it doesn’t matter which ones you take, it means the course of study can be customized based on your interests. For example, if you’re interested in marine biology, include the Fish Identification, Underwater Naturalist and Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Diver courses in your plan. If you hope to start a career in diving (divemaster, instructor, public safety diver, etc.), Master Scuba Diver is a great way to pick up essential skills, such as navigation, emergency oxygen administration, and how to use a lift bag (search and recovery).

You can also use your Master Scuba Diver journey as a way to explore the world. Pick up a different certification as you visit dive destinations on your holidays. Many offer rare distinctive specialties, such as Manta Ray Diver or even Hot Springs Diver.
