PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer

price & schedule >     sign up >     part of some packages >    

If you want to train your students to the highest recreational level in the PADI system of diver education, you will want to be a PADI master scuba diver trainer.
It will allow you to take your students out to more adventurous dive sites and pursue the types of diving that you are interested in. Being a master scuba diver trainer will definitely help improve your work credentials as most dive resorts employ PADI MSDT for the extra spectrum of courses and specialities they can teach.
If you can’t attend the PADI MSDT prep you can always consider one individual speciality rating and get certified as a speciality instructor.

Gaining the rating of PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer will also allow you to become a PADI IDC Staff Instructor.
You must have a PADI MSDT rating to become an instructor in Tec 50 Diver.

Not Mandatory to become a PADI Instructor, but highly recommended.

MSDT Preparation

The MSDT prep is a package of 5 specialties taught over a period of 3-4 days right after our PADI IDC training.
Once you received your specialties teaching status and you have certified 25 students in any Padi course, you will be able to send your MSDT application.

You will then be able to certify divers completely up to Master Scuba Diver level, which is Open Water, AOW, EFR, Rescue and 5 Specialty certifications.

Once at MSDT level, it's time to take the next step and start on the path to teaching instructors by becoming a PADI IDC Staff Instructor!

Specialty Instructor

A single speciality taught over a period of a day.

Learning objectives

In the MSDT Prep it’s all about diving!
We will teach you in the water how to teach and conduct 5 different PADI specialties.
 
Due to the local area and environment we have pre-selected the following 5 instructor specialties for the MSDT prep.
The decision is also based on what specialties are best for you, as a new instructor and to make you a more employable instructor.
 
Some Specialties are easy to teach, while others require advanced diving techniques and in depth theory explanations. The 5 we have chosen cover there topics and once you see in water how theses courses are taught, you will feel much more confident teaching them to your future students.
 

Wreck Specialty Instructor.

This takes place in the Puerto Morelos Marine Park on the C56 cannon boat.
It’s an excellent site for learning how to teach students in wreck diving techniques. Lots of possibilities for long penetration dives with dive lights and complex line/reel use.

Equipment Specialty Instructor.

Is conducted by Scuba Pro’s (dive gear manufacture) main technician. Here we will show you how to service and maintain the most popular Scuba Pro regulators, first stages and BCD inflator systems. There is no other IDC centre that offers this program and workshop. Upon completion you will be awarded a certification by Scuba Pro.

Enriched air Specialty Instructor.

A must for all instructors. 60% of all divers dive with Nitrox. We have included 2 dives on Nitrox as a bonus.
These dives will of course be completed on our Wreck Specialty dives, as we need the extra bottom time for our penetration dive.

Deep Specialty Instructor.

Most likely dives are conducted in the beautiful marine park of Cozumel Island. Here we have vertical walls dropping down to 600meters!! Learning to teach deep diving in these conditions is priceless.
 

Search & recovery specialty instructor.

An often underrated specialty course. But at Pro Dive Mexico we teach you the techniques and show you the tools how you can make this PADI specialty your favorite to teach. Mixed with lots of skills from technical diving, makes this course a unique experience.
