GET THE BLACK BELT IN DIVING
The PADI Master Scuba Diver rating places you in an elite group of respected divers who have earned this rating through both significant experience and scuba training. Fewer than two percent of divers ever achieve this rating. When you flash your Master Scuba Diver card, people know that you’ve spent time underwater in a variety of environments and had your share of dive adventures.
To achieve the rating, you need to be trained to Rescue Diver level, have completed 5 Specialty certification and have at least 50 logged dives at the end of the program. Sounds complicated and expensive? NO! It has never been easier to become a Master Scuba Diver with our Master Scuba Diver Academy starting from as little as $28 per week.
HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM WORK?
Our Academy runs between 6 and 12months on a payment plan, starting from $28 per week. The duration depends on your timing, our logistics and your current certification level. You can start without any diving experience (from Zero to Hero) or as an Open Water, Advanced or Rescue Diver. Once you sign up, you will choose your package and payment options. We will then schedule all courses with you bit by bit. There is no rush and we are flexible with timing so you can chose the days or weekends that suit you best. Part of the MSD Program is to gain diving experience (50 dives) so you will need to do some fun dives in between which we offer you at a 20% discount for the duration of the program.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
You save up to $980 with this package!!! To get started, we only require a $495 deposit and your first weekly instalment. Depending on your current certification level, you can chose between the following options:
– Deposit = $495
– From Rescue Diver = $28 per week (6 months)
– From Advanced Diver = $44 per week (6 months)
– From Open Water Diver = $32 per week (12months) OR $62.00 per week (6 months),
– Never dived before = $40 per week (12months) OR $79 per week (6 months),
If you have never dived before or are Open Water certified, we recommend a 12 month program duration.

THE PROGRAM STRUCTURE
The program runs over 6 or 12 months depending which package you choose. We will teach the courses for Open Water, Advanced and Rescue first prior to getting into specialties however, our logistics may dictate a slightly different approach. We will always talk to you and work out what suits best. We will issue you the course materials staged for the specific course/certification you are working on at the time. The materials are a mixture of online learning and books. Should you complete the program well in advance of the expiry of your weekly instalments, a one-off balance payment will be required to obtain your final MSD Certification Card.
WHAT SPECIALTIES ARE AVAILABLE?
We can offer a variety of specialties but our logistics dictate some of them. We also strongly believe that some specific specialties should definitely be part of this program hence we make them mandatory. These include Deep Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy and Emergency Oxygen Provider. You will decide on the remaining 2 specialties together with your PADI Instructor.
