PADI MASTER SCUBA DIVER TRAINER

Teach the courses you want to

A PADI Instructor with the Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating can teach 5 or more specialties. This mean that not only can you choose to teach the courses in which you have a specific interest, but you can distinguish yourself from other instructors by not only having a wider range of skill sets but also demonstrating your commitment to continuing education and the PADI system.

As a PADI MSDT you have the opportunity to teach courses that you specialise in and to teach in specialist areas or skill development that your students have an interest in. The best way to be able to adequately deliver these courses is to become confident in teaching the chosen specialties. Our PADI Specialty Instructor training program teaches you about the specific PADI standards that relate to a chosen specialty as well as practical training on how to effectively deliver the course content.

If you are a relatively new PADI Instructor you can opt for our MSDT prep course or separate PADI Specialty Instructor Courses. Just contact our Course Director Holly Macleod.

A PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) can:

  • Teach their specifically chosen PADI Specialties.
  • Allow you to teach your students to benefit from continuing education. For example, taking an Open Water Diver student and certifying him as a Master Scuba Diver.
  • Increase your earning potential as well as your career prospects.
  • Help to further your PADI education. For example, Meet one of the requirements to qualify as a PADI Master Instructor
