PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer

If you’d like to become a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, you must be a PADI Instructor who have at least five PADI Specialty Instructor ratings. This qualifies you to conduct all training requirements for the Master Scuba Diver rating. (Peak Performance Buoyancy and Project AWARE Specialty Instructor ratings do not apply.)

To apply for the Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating you need to be:

1. Be a renewed PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
2. Be certified as a PADI Specialty Instructor for five or more specialty ratings.
3. Have issued at least 25 PADI Diver certifications.

To apply for certification, please submit to the appropriate PADI Office a completed Master Scuba Diver Trainer application with your photo and application fee. Upon approval of the application, PADI will issue an internationally recognized Master Scuba Diver Trainer certification card.
