Master Scuba Diver Trainer

How do you earn the MSDT rating?

The PADI MSDT Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating sets you apart as a dive instructor who takes continuing education seriously and is committed to teaching a variety of courses. You also get to teach specialty diver courses – which opens the door to lots of fun while working (Potential employers like this.)

Being an MSDT signifies that you’ve got the experience and certifications to offer all the training a diver needs to become a Master Scuba Diver – the ultimate recreational diver rating.

All PADI Instructors who have certified at least 25 PADI Divers and have earned at least five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications can be Master Scuba Diver Trainers. This rating is the next step up the professional ladder and is a prerequisite for IDC Staff Instructor as well as for many TecRec Instructor ratings.

Key topics include:

• Teach the specialties you love to teach – break up your teaching schedule from the routine

• Open Water and Advanced courses

• Enjoy watching your student divers excel as you lead them from PADI Open Water Diver to PADI Master Scuba Diver

• Increase your income with multiple level training

The Next Step:

If you are considering taking your IDC with B&J, we can help you achieve MSDT rating by extending your internship with us. You will become a member of our instructor crew and teach at least 25 students plus we’ll teach you 5 instructor specialties of your choice.
