The PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) rating sets you apart as a dedicated dive instructor who is committed to continuing education and teaching a wide variety of courses. This certification not only boosts your resume but also demonstrates to potential employers that you are highly skilled and experienced in the dive industry. With GoPRO Blue Magic, you’ll have the opportunity to choose from a range of specialties to enhance your diving expertise and teaching skills. Once your MSDT training is complete, you can stay with the GoPRO Blue Magic team, gaining valuable hands-on experience by teaching other divers or helping them improve their underwater skills.

• Certify at least 25 PADI divers. You can start your MSDT Prep course before hitting this mark and simply submit your MSDT paperwork once you certify your 25th diver.

What’s Included in Our MSDT Prep Program?

Our MSDT Prep program spans four weeks:

• Week 1: Become certified as a Specialty Instructor for six key diving specialties.
