The PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer Course You tell your students to aim for PADI Master Scuba Diver. You also want to tell them that you can take them all the way there because you’re a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT).
PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainers can certify PADI divers all the way up to Master Scuba Diver
The Fun Part
The Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating sets you apart from other dive instructors by showing your commitment to continuing your dive training and being prepared to help others continue their training as well. You also get to teach specialty diver courses – which opens the door to lots of fun while working.
What You Learn
You’re a new instructor? Just finished the IE? No problem. See our Course Director for PADI Specialty Instructor Training and the Master Scuba Diver Trainer Prep Course.
As a PADI MSDT, you demonstrate to a dive employer that you have good experience in teaching diving and also can teach a range of specialty diver courses. This makes a dive center or resort more likely to offer you a position.
What You Can Teach
As a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, you
* Teach the specialties you love to teach
* 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
* Meet one of the requirements to qualify as a PADI Master Instructor
To qualify as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, you must
* Be a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
* Have five PADI Specialty Instructor certifications
* Have certified at least 25 PADI Divers
If you’re considering entering the realm of technical dive instruction, then the MSDT will be useful.
You must be a MSDT to become an instructor in DSAT Tec Deep Diver or the DSAT Trimix Diver courses.
Internship Program: The natural progression to the MSDT is the Internship, which includes team teaching with our senior instructor team many of whom have over 1000 certifications and many years of experience.
Observing a senior instructor and team teaching courses from Open Water to Divemaster, is as valuable as the IDC itself. First, you can observe different styles and strategies of teaching in order to create your own. Once you obtain your teaching status, you will independently conduct courses being followed by a senior instructor who will give you more hints and tips that will make your courses fun and effective.
Now that you have 25 certifications, you will have a head start getting employment after the program. You are no longer an instructor who has “just” finished the IE, but rather you have experience behind you with real life teaching having seen real life problems and solutions. Once the program is complete most candidates have certified open water, advanced, rescue divers along with some specialty certifications.
The advantage of having this experience when applying for a job is enormous. Every candidate who has completed the Internship Program with us has been able to find employment within 4 weeks of the course! Similar training, experience , opportunities and achieved ratings could take you years to gain anywhere else in the world.
