Want to join the best of the best in recreational diving? Explore the underwater world like never before? Live the dive lifestyle? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you’ll want to accept the Master Scuba Diver Challenge!
Lazy Diver and Diver Dan’s is looking forward to helping you get trained as a PADI Master Scuba Diver.
Description:
The PADI Master Scuba Diver rating is PADI’s highest recreational diving certification. This is where the best of the best come to play because the dive possibilities are endless.
To achieve the rating of PADI Master Scuba Diver, you must have logged at least 50 scuba dives and completed the following PADI courses:
Open Water Diver
Advanced Open Water Diver
Rescue Diver
Five PADI Specialty Diver Courses
No one said prestige was easy to come by, but it is certainly well worth it. As a PADI Master Scuba Diver the experience you gain will open up a new level of confidence, whether you are diving local wrecks, quarries, reefs or exploring exciting dive destinations around the world!
What Color is Your "Dive Belt"?
