The Master Scuba Diver rating is the highest recreational diver rating in the PADI ladder of education, and denotes superior achievement and proficiency.
Achieving the Master Scuba Diver rating requires that an individual be certified as:
PADI Advanced Open Water Diver,
PADI Rescue Diver or hold qualifying certifications from another training organization.
Hold certification in any five PADI Specialty Course ratings. Be able to show proof of 50 logged dives.
Learn the basics of how to dive safely from a boat.
Go to the edge of recreational dive depths. Learn about safety considerations and the proper organization of deep dives.
Move effortlessly through the water, against currents, cover a bigger area - and have fun.
Learn about necessary considerations for night diving and experience a different underwater world.
Fine tune your Buoyancy, the most important skill for any diver.
The wreck used for training here in Okinawa is located in water deeper than 18 meters/60 feet, it’s strongly recommended to hold the PADI Deep Diver rating as a prerequisite for this course. And/or be an experienced diver with approximately 100 dives under your belt.
